We popped over to see Thos, KT and the kids this evening, taking with us a box of huge rockets (fireworks) which we have had for quite a while. Douglas, who in previous years, has been firework mad didnt even buy one this year, in deference to us becoming cat owners.
It was raining tonight, so we decided to cancel the firework and bonfire planned, and just stay in and chat.
Little Carlo is getting very chatty and was telling me all about writing his name, and reading special homework books now he is FOUR and getting to be a Big Boy. It was funny and very sweet to have him sitting on my knee burbling away about school, which he obviously enjoys very much.
M & L had just done an account of their Halloween costumes on the computer with help from Mum - it was lovely to see them happily doing their homework and proudly showing us their "what we did at half term" accounts.
We had a smashing mini tea.. roast peppers with a few nice bits and peices in, and a chick pea salad which was very good too. I had my very first ever artichoke heart (ive never had artichoke before!) it had been pickled then roasted, and had a pleasant very strong flavour!
After a chat with Thos, catching him up on news from Down Under, we came home and watched Antiques Greed (oops Road) Show together. Very pleasant end to the weekend.
D goes back to work tomorrow having been off sick for nearly a month.. I'm sure he will be fine, if very tired when he finishes. I will, of course let you know.
