...........Me?....chocolate?.....never...........

Up at the crack of dawn this morning with the sproglets..........we kept them awake as long as we could last night.........watching Lady and the Tramp II.......but they just don't get the extra hour thing.

Took Charlie to see the boys fishing this morning.............she watched Shaun for about five minutes and then said, "He hasn't caught a fish yet, it's boring, can we go for a walk now?"

So......a walk around the three ponds it was.............seagulls, a Canada Goose and three swans...........but no ducks..........it seems that the virus of a month ago may have wiped them all out.

Called at the local shop on the way back...........a glowing, flashing pink spider for Halloween was purchased...........food........games......the Daughter went off to the supermarket and returned with two helium balloons..........a ghost and a bat!....more games........films...........eventually the parents came.......not to reclaim their children but for Sunday roast! The photographs show Charlie's bedroom to be pink.....very pink!

Hannah polished off peas, potatoes, chicken and a Yorkshire pudding........a jar of rice pudding with apple and pear...........and some of YH's chocolate ice cream...as you can see.

They went home round about 7.15...........the Boss, the Daughter and I have barely stirred form the sofas since.........I might manage to crawl into the kitchen to make a coffee in a while......or then again I might not!

Early night I think........no beer........B is in Spain..........D is in Dublin.........and I have a long drive tomorrow.
