nice weekend

A much much better weekend than last weekend.  Had a lovely evening on Friday with the old HR gang from work, where we gossiped and ate - what more can you ask for.  I do miss working with them all so much, but then again you only ever remember it through rose-tinted glasses!  We didn't really appreciate how good it was at the time unfortunately.  hey ho, sounds as though they are coping OK, although Kirsty will be leaving to go and live in Australia in a few weeks so poor old Sally will be the last one standing.

Yesterday we donned out raincoats and headed to the farm park.  In actual fact the weather was pretty ok, but it was very quiet as people obviously expected it to bucket it down.  It did rain heavily at one point but we were inside the animal feeding bit at that point, and the later, when Ben was playing on the playground bit, but Rebecca and I stayed inside.  Anyway he kept nice and dry in his new all in one raincoat thingy that I bought from Burford Garden centre on Wednesday (that I still haven't owned up to Paul how much it cost).  Today we chilled out a bit, but the weather, when not raining, was nice and sunny so we made the most of those moments and did a bit of gardening.  I took Rebecca for a walk to get her off to sleep and ended up diverting into the Royal pub for 15 minutes.  It was a bit surreal, sitting in the sunshine in the pub garden in total peace and quiet, not something I get to do any more!
Oh, and a final note on the boobs - finally they don't hurt and I'm not wincing every time one of the kids go near me.  Becca is drinking a little juice but not much formula from a cup - but am mixing it in with anything and everything she eats.  She is wolfing food down like there is no tomorrow, and minesweeps the kitchen floor after each meal to hoover up the bits she threw away.  I think perhaps she takes after me more than Paul in her attitude to food!
