Ive got a tablet...


Rob bought me a very cool christmas present, as mentioned in my previous post. A drawing tablet! Now I can draw directly on to the computer screen, and not leave biro marks on the monitor like the last time I tried it. Yeah. Anyway, here is my first masterpiece. I for some reason attempted a horse, one of the most difficult things to draw. Oh well.


Here is my next attempt, Mrs Fenchurch, the cat that lives in our house and annoys us. (But we love her)

Happy Chrimbo and all that!

Merry christmas to everyone (or the few people that read this anyway!)


We had a very nice day and didn't die from overfeeding. Thanks to Mum,Dad, Liz, Helen, Dave, Emma, Kate, Pete, Nanna, Grandma, Molly, Noo and Mrs Fenchurch for all our lovely gifts!




Rob decided some time ago that he wanted to do the annual Clevedon Boxing day run.
Fool! I can think of things I'd rather do, like play with my new drawing tablet that Rob bought me, (That'll come later)-but as I'm getting married to the crazy man I thought I'd better go and support him. Hundreds of people were running, we didn't see Rob until he'd done about 3 miles of the 4 mile run, but amazingly when I was taking pictures with my phone I actually managed to get one of Rob!! Spooky huh? See if you can spot him!



He did pretty good, 150th in 30 minutes, or thereabouts. About 8 times quicker than I could do it anyway!
Here he is on the home stretch-

I ran with him for a little bit, for moral support, but I think some people didn't approve so I stopped. Nothing to do with the fact I was knackered.

He got a Mars Bar and a horrible energy drink at the end of the run, and then we went to Liz's for more Xmas stuffing! A very good boxing day.

So long little car. You served me well. Were it not for the fact that you leaked and had no heating I would have kept you alot longer. As it was, an ill-toothed gentleman gave me £15 to take you away to some unspecified end. I did enjoy watching the neighbour's curtains twitch manically as he over-revved you to get you on to your barge across the Styx. I'll miss you, little car!

Bye Bye Baby!

Birtdays and new houses
















Rob's birthday saw us visiting Kate-(Rob's sister) and her husband Pete in their new house. The old owners had left in rather a hurry and left all manner of things behind, including various garden gnomes, and a caravan! It's all very exciting and grown-up.



My phone has a cool 'panoramic' function which I played about with whilst everybody else did useful things like moving wardrobes and fixing plugs. Sorry everyone! Still. I think they look quite cool.






The old owners were smokers and you could really tell from the patina of nicotine which covers everything in the house. Still, it'll all scrub off and the house will be fabulous. Eventually!
