Nathan

I wanted to share the latest pictures of Nathan with you.  The ones in his green "hungry crocodile" outfit were taken by me this afternoon.  Bottom right hand one was taken by his Daddy and shows him sitting in the new nursery.  As you can see, the colours they chose for the paintwork on the walls exactly matches the animal border.

He is not actually in the nursery yet because they have been let down with the delivery of his cot/bed and are still waiting for it, then it will be all systems go.

What a busy day.  Mike had quite a lot to do so I got on with all the washing, putting the vacuum around and so forth and so on.  Then I decided to do a different recipe and spent ages chopping courgettes, broccoli, leeks, tomatoes etc.  All weighing out this and weighing out that.

Becky and Dean stayed much longer than we had expected because Dean was trying to put right some computer problems I have been getting like constant error messages.  However, I am not complaining. Love having them here and spending as much time as possible with "super babe"!  So I grabbed the camera and snapped away.  He smiles on demand normally but as soon as you pick up a camera....... then we get the stern "I am not going to co-operate with you" face.  Anyway I have posted the best. We do not know why his hair always has a reddish tint in photos. He is actually very fair and his eyes are grey-blue (like his Nan as well as his Dad!)

When our delightful family left, it was time to actually cook and eat what I had made and I am pleased to say it was delicious.

So all my plans went a bit haywire and I have not yet been out - really had no opportunity.  We cannot go now because it is like the blitz around here with fireworks and there is a big organised display right near us that does not end until 9.30p.m.  We just cannot leave the dogs because of the state they are in.  Becky suggested we put them in the back of the car but Mike says it is too dangerous.  We have no dog guard for thiscar and they would be loose on the back seat. When the first big bang went off tonight, Pip launched himself at me and nearly knocked  me senseless and accidently hurt both my feet.  If he launched himself like that when Mike was driving........does not bear thinking about.

However, I am determined to get out so it might be very late, him indoors will just have to stay up.  When it quietens down we will either go for a drive or a little walk.

Hope you enjoy the pictures and hope you are all having a good weekend.
