Just arrived at our hotel, and, funnily enough, we've been upgraded... to the Bridal Suite!

Just got home from one of the litter's graduation ceremony. This weekend I shall be refereeing while two of them argue, fight then cry.
Sunday we take my mother out to celebrate her birthday. Anyone who thinks they want to live to be. 95 needs to have a rethink. Believe me.

TFA!
Quiet one tonight.
Sat: Mrs P has running club shenanigans until late afternoon, so I will be walking the dog and pottering about. Out for dinner in the evening that meeting friends for drinkies.
Sun: BBQ if the weather is suitable.
Enjoy yours, whatever you're doing!

MrsF is away to a festival now - not back until Monday lunchtime.
Enterprise Fair at school this afternoon, then the children can entertain themselves after that.
Girls ballet lessons tomorrow morning, then over to my parents because my mum clearly worries that we can't cope and we'll be lost / bored / lazy on our own.
Picnic Sunday and then home to continue cleaning the house - new fire fitters left a fair amount of soot everywhere yesterday.

Otherwise, I might catch some cricket and plant out my perennials.
