I'm Back!

It was a lot of travelling, but actually all the buses were relatively empty, so that made life easier overall. I have really learned how much I rely on my car, on my balance, of having free hands to carry a bag. Suddenly the crutches make that different! I did smile as Tim & Claire were there for the same length of time, and they said the reason they couldn't give me a lift is that with their packing for the weekend there wasn't space for another person ... I managed to get all my stuff in a backpack, with a cross-shoulder handbag for purse etc. So, Tim & Claire, it can be done ... just focus on the basics, on what you actually need!

Anyway, it was a lovely weekend in the end. Other than nephew #4, all the boys(+families) were in and out over the weekend. So it was a relaxed time, and I think Nick enjoyed it, wheich was the mani thing. On the Saturday afternoon most of us went for a walk ... there was a long walk, a medium one, and then a short one that Brenda & I did.

Anyway, here are a couple of photos ... the birthday boy -


The oldest (horrid to admit that I am the Matriach of the family!), and the youngest -


And with Nick & Brenda, Tim & Claire had to be cropped as they refuse their photos online.

So, Nick is 60... in fact in that photo of the 3 of us, he is the youngest!

As ever, I am working later ... the mornings go so quickly.

Before I post this I really must say Welcome to the "new" LJers ... great to get thngs fighting back.  I loved how LJ used to be ... so lets be positive, again.





9. This year is the 40th anniversary of the release of the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – have you ever seen it? Bueller…. Bueller…. Bueller…..
No - 1986 I was in the process of closing my first business, and moving from the London area to the Cornish coast. (I have never really been a cinema user, but do have an excuse that year!!)



Right, lets get this posted.

That's a terrific film.

Good for you, that's a marvelous accomplishment. I'm glad you had a good time.

Great pics! This is Nick of the Beard you mentioned I see :). No, never saw it. I wasn't really a fan of Matthew Broderick except in the Civil War movie GLORY.
