A Week Away

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Can’t remember where i left off, but it doesn’t really matter. Last week ended in the normal dancing/kyt type stuff and a good bit more house tidying, before packing ourselves up and heading northwards to my parents house for a night before gong away. That was very pleasant; girls played various games with my dad [...]

Keeping Up Appearances (deceptively!)

Tuesday was a good day; i’m trying to do more work that pulls all the girls together a bit.

Fresh starts and old clobber.

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010
