R.I.P skating (again)...

I think this year will bring many changes and much excitement, so hold onto your hats.

My local rink has closed for the second time in five years which is such a shame for our skating community, especially the OAPs. There can not be a better sight than watching a dozen long retired folk strap themselves into inlines or quads and race the beejesus out of each other. Smiling, but not laughing until the race is over and the winner has been congratulated and the loser has bought the tea and cakes.

I have a friend in the forces and he is off on his first tour in less than two weeks *takes deep slow breath* I'm praying for a safe return in one piece #thatisall

The Boys will be starting driving lessons soon and their car is coming next week! I hope all those years of pointing out bad driving and silly over take manoeuvres has made an impression on them and they don't end up in a ditch. I'm thinking of taking them over to petslayers and having them microchipped with a GPS tracker so they can't be lost for too long (especially No1 son who can't find his butt with both hands).

We (the royal we) are currently waiting on three babies!! We had four girls born in 2012 so a couple of boys would be nice to even things up a tad. 

Lots of tea has been drunk this week and many biscuits consumed. Catching up with friends I have neglected since semester one started has been the best part of this long break. Even though I still have two weeks before we return I'm already getting a little edgy about it.

Ooh and I got 85% for my last piece of uni work!! My first first...
