I've spent a lovely morning in the kitchen preparing for Natasha's birthday party tomorrow. Pippa went out on a date with Daddy to the cinema, which she just loves, so I've had some glorious free time to just potter and do my own thing. Tasha's cake is looking good and there are some muffins and dips too, all good stuff.
I'm feeling very calm in general at the moment and it's lovely to have this last bout of illness over and done with. Now we are firmly looking forward to our trip to South Africa in December. Over three weeks of sunshine, Christmas and family - can't wait!
My new phone is great, can't believe that I put up with the old (Windows) one for so long. Android rocks in comparison... I do all my Bible reading, BBC news reading, Facebook checking, emailing etc on it. It's just brilliant, I feel like I was getting a little behind the times on new phone technology but now I'm up to date again.
This weekend is Deepavali, we spent yesterday afternoon with Indian friends and their family as they celebrated their special occasion. It was fun to learn all their cultures and eat their celebration food. Pips particularly liked the sparklers and the plethora of colourful sponge cakes.
It's lovely to have a long weekend just pottering at home and catching up with friends. Wish they could come round a bit more often :-)
Natasha taught herself to pull up to standing today, now we're in trouble! Time to babyproof again I think.
