Hi everyone - a bit of a change as you come to the blog this time - i have been changing it around to try and find a better way of displaying my photos and comments. I hope this doesn't throw too many people. if anyone has any major problems let me know. not much to report that is worth making it onto the blog. but hopefully i will see baby jack later this week so there may be some more photos of him.

Well tonight was an exciting night, we went to visit our friend Nicki and her partner Luke who had just had baby Jack yesterday. Nicki is also known as the lady who i found out was pregnant when i was in Scotland. She is also Rocky dog's mum. Not only has there been a new edition to the family in baby jack, but a few weeks ago they got a little buddy for rocky named 'pig'. there will be some photos of him in a few weeks when i go over and visit him when nic and bub are back home.

On Saturday night we headed for Simon's brothers place up the valley a bit. For his other brothers 30th birthday. We had a bonfire and pizzas for dinner, and it was a little chilly. but it was great to see the girls - and freya stayed close all night !! Most people stayed the night up there but i wasnt staying in the cold - especially as i was only just getting over a cold. I put my uk winter warmers to good use and yes the hat came out again !!! i think it was missing me! Dad enjoyed have some sweets with sylvie. It was a great night and we were kept warm but the glowing fire.

simon and i went for a drive up the valley at the weekend to see a friend of his and on the way back we drove into this wonderful storm !! there were a few lightening strikes and a bit of rain, but nothing compared to last months storms. Simon has been working while on uni holidays. I am back to the job hunting and hopefully something will come up soon... hope all is well with everyone.
