This my irregular diary of the goings-on in my life. Right now, my family and I are in the process of re-locating back to the UK. And that's about it really.

How to feel 20 years younger in one easy step:

Step one: Get completely bladdered on home-made alcoholic beverages.


Result: Wake up following morning with raging hangover and still have to get up and carry on with work and what-have-you anyway. Just like when I was twenty years younger. Hey presto!

Not entirely my fault I must explain. Have some guests staying who came last year and during their stay they picked some elderberries and when they got back they made it into elderberry wine. They then brought some of this wine back with them this time, so being polite, we had to try it. And then we kept on trying it until there was no more to try. And in return I had to share my blackcurrant liqueur, which also warranted much trying (and yes, you grecian folk out there, there's still some left for me to bring when we visit you).


I was supposed to be taking my father to the airport the following day. In the end I suggested we took my mother's car (which we can both drive, instead of ours which only I can drive (insurance)) and that he drive it there in the hope that I would be ok to drive it back (I was, although as I couldn't eat breakfast, I had nicked one of the girls 'chuppa chups' lollies and sat in the back sucking on it in order to get some sugar into me. Wouldn't normally touch them, but I can recommend as an aid to hangover curing. Cola flavoured.)

Anyway, went to a fab play park place today with the girls. Managed to get Georgia in free, evne though she was a bit over the height limit, so that was a bonus. Basically, it's a big play area - ball pools, bouncy castles, teampolines, slides, luges, pedalos, bikes, etc, etc. Not just for little kids - all ages, even me! Here are a few piccies (I think if you click on them they get bigger, except for the one of me.  No need to enlarge that one, large enough already):
