DAY NINETY-SIX

I had a girly day out today with my sis and Natasha. It was great fun. We did lots of shopping, talking, laughing, eating and drinking. It was the first time Taro had spent the whole day looking after Joshua on his own and seemed to get on really well. I even had dinner cooked for me. (I know I look very strange in the photo)

DAY NINETY-FIVE

I was out and about with Joshua when I saw this sign on the ground. I found it funny and well done. Hope it has some effect on the dog owner. It's always annoying when Joshua runs around the park and I need to keep checking that he's not stepping or trying to get dog poo. ew

DAY NINETY-FOUR

Happy St George's Day - patron saint of England (and apparently slew a dragon). It's not a national holiday or a big deal like St Patrick's day, so not sure why lots of houses and shops had the flag up. Taro finds it slightly scary and nationalistic - and he's the English one here.

DAY NINETY-THREE

Another beautiful day. Apparently it's the hottest April we've had in 10years! I love all the colours in the spring and the beautiful flowery trees. Joshua and Sophie had their first swimming class today and both seemed to really enjoy it, even though they had to go underwater a few times.

DAY NINETY-TWO

Becky wasn't feeling too well today, so in the afternoon I took Joshua over so we could help look after Sophie. The three of us played out in the back. Whilst they collected stones, they latest hobby, I took photos, including this spider that was on Simon's old bicycle. John came by late in the day on his new bike, which he had just bought. I just hope he learns how to be a safe rider, after all his serious bicycle accidents.

DAY NINETY-ONE

I mowed the lawn today again as it was a little bit long. Not as long as it seems from the photo though. John left today after 2months with us. He's moved closer to work and it's quite a decent area, with lots of shops on his doorstep, unlike here.

DAY NINETY!!!

The weather was really nice today, so we decided to have a bbq at Becky's. The kids had lots of fun playing together all day.
