Ey up. well we've been on our jollies, and we're home again :-( boo hiss.
It was a lovely week and we had a nice time firstly relaxing in the yurt and then exploring Granada. We were wondering if we had made a cock up with the weather planning as it was 43 degrees at times but apparently this is not the norm, which was highlighted by the forest fires raging not too far away in Almeria.

The Alhambra was a pretty spectacular place and we took the obligatory hundreds of photos, although I have to admit just hanging round the yurt was probably the most fun part for me - slacker that I am these days.

so it's back to work for this week, although I have next Thurs pm and Friday off as we are off to the Hague/Amsterdam/Utrecht for a couple of days - trying to get the travel in before life as we know it ends.... Utrecht has a famous inhabitant which I am keen to check out, and luckily Paul has agreed to indulge me.

The little one has started to make his/her presence felt with the odd flutter/kick - along with a constant nagging back pain. Off to see an osteopath tomorrow to try and nip it in the bud as I'm only 24 weeks tomorrow. Lets hope they know their onions.

hello, long time no write properly. sorry about that.

Life is ok, apart from sniffling regularly due to hayfever (or swine flu). Work has been madly busy, and social stuff wasn't too relaxing, although a lot of fun, with 2 weddigns in a row, then a trip to London to see Take That This weekend has been positively chilled out with no real plans. Went for a walk earlir whihc probably didn't help the old hayfever but it was about time I got off my lardy arse and did some exercise. Sally ran the London 10K today (in 66 minutes no less!) and I should have joined her had it not been for the 5 months pregnant factor, so not only am I very proud of her, but I am feeling a little slack.

I also went and spent LOTS of money on maternity clothes having got to the realiseation that I am off on holiday next week and "didn't have a thing to wear" - honest!

So, this time next week I will be happily sat round a pool sipping on a Pimms - well theres no alcohol in that is there......??? (I know, I know, it'll be a Lilt I promise), staying here for 4 nights and then on to Granada to check out the Alhambra and other such delights. Can't bloody wait.

Pregnancy watch time - baby ellis is doing fine, starting to make his/her presence known by the odd "popping" feeling in my tum. The 20 week scan showed the head is attached to the body which is always a bonus. as Paul so tactfully put it the other day "bloody hell you have got fat" - although to be fair he says a lot of nice things too. It's very odd and I have moments of feeling a bit unattractive but overall its all good.
