Yesterday was another stress free occasion, all very low key and enjoyable.....me, mum, ann, annika and Nika (neice 11 year old) went to a party shop first to choose layout for the big christening party, tables, chairs, balloons, dish servers, tents things like that and then to Coco's in town for lunch. It is like an american diner type of place, very spacious, clean, great food at good prices and large enough to loose annika's complaints later on in the meal when she also became hungry. Anyway it was great, Mum had a few starters for her meal (soup and salad) and a few snacky onion rings...the best she ever had", lovely mustard and honey dip...yep i think they were the best, anyway all happy apart from Nika who had a tough looking fried chicken, but as Nika was in silent running mode and just a coy grin every now and then it was difficult to tell.
Went to the mall to get bits and pieces, then me and mum went to another mall for post cards,....should have been easy, nearly turned into a herculean task, anyway it got done and for mum to look for a blouse or two. the blouse shopping failed dismally, even i could see there were racks and racks of blouses aimed at young girls with a 22inch waist, in style or size, mum didn't fit the bill. For the moment she is making do.
Later, a swim for mum with the kids round, good for the pool to get some use, mums shower didn't work, asked our electrician round, now partially fixed, another 'warranty" guy round tomorrow. And then garden..for eveneing drinks ......see photo's me, mum and annika outside last night, Monday...Mum trying some of my joggers + scarf to ward off the pesky bighters. Second day i think it was she was bitten all over by what...not sure, then from then on despite some dab on stuff and room spraying, still the occasional bite...
Mum wins the most bite award, annika second, me third and ann practically none, me very few, say 1 per week, annika say 1 per day average, mum so far 8 per day average.....................ooops...more soon....rick, dad (are u reading Jim and Lu? come out now its no use hiding)
