At Last

Our new furniture arrived, and we didn't have to make it ourselves, hurrah!

Raining? Just a bit!!

The weather is DISGUSTING!  I feel so sorry for Ben and Mia walking to school in the dark and rain and howling wind.  All the kids walk to school here so it is quite normal of course but I feel so bad for them.  It's horrible.  Mia is all prepared, even wearing rain trousers today and she has a fluorescent rain cover on her back pack.  I need to take little Zizou out for a walk but it is so horrible outside than I'm putting it off in the hope that the rain will stop for a bit, HAHA.  Oh I miss the days when I drove the kids to school in our lovely car and then walked Mia to her classroom......

London

Back from a lovely weekend in London, just the two of us.  The weather was warm and wet.  We stayed at a gorgeous hotel called The Landmark in Marylebone.  The wine event was in the hotel so not far to go from the room!  Saturday tasting was enough for me, started to get confused about what I was tasting after three hours......  Lots and lots of shopping, M&S are doing a roaring trade.  We met up with Lotta and 3 other mums from ASP on Sunday morning for brunch then shopping at Harrods.  It was great to see Lotta again, I do miss her.  Next stop Paris in two weeks time!!

New things

We finally got the chair that we ordered ages ago. It's next to Zizou's pen at the moment but we might move it. It is very comfy. Also we bought two bedside cabinets for our room. Been meaning to get new ones for a long time. They are "shabby chic", bought from a lovely French shop we found down town. They have lots of lovely housey things, candles, table ware etc so I will probably be back there sometime.....

Frost

Zizou admiring the view.

It was the first proper frosty morning today. Now it is sunny and there's no wind, perfect weather for walking the mad dog. His harness broke and when I bought a new one it didn't fit. A trip back to the pet shop found nothing suitable so we have been using just a collar and lead and it's a nightmare. He leaps around like a mad thing, all directions and pulls like mad, he chokes and splutters and his legs are nearly flat to the ground. What on earth is he thinking? MUST buy another harness, soooo much better, more control and he won't choke.

Ta Na!

Look no stairs

November!

A bit windy but we went for a walk to the lake with Zizou. Our lugs were dirling!

Met lots of dogs and cyclists and joggers, Zizou was a bit hyper but happy to meet another schnauzer which was 14 years old.

Halloween

Here is our little ghosite that enjoyed a spooky party at her friends house last night.
