Its Raining It's Pouring & Lukey is Snoring!!

Ah yes, the great British summer (and Wimbledon) are upon us yet again. It is constantly lashing it down outside (apart from right now when we are having a brief interlude of sunshine). Of course, I should have know that it was going to be extremely rainy as I recently bought a sun shade for the outside table and chairs, also went mad and bought a couple of bottles of suncream (guaranteed to provoke a torrent of wet stuff from the sky). Never mind though at least the plants are getting a good drink (throwing their leaves up into the air in protest).

Reason for the post is that Luke is taking a nap (much needed) on the couch at present so am able to sneak off and sit at the computer without him wanting to play on it - bliss!

So I turned 40, seems that overnight I acquired a crop of new chin hair and what the hell is that hanging over my knickers, oh yes it's my spare tyre ..... Oh God!!!!!! So, currently simultaneously plucking, shaving and dieting to within an inch of my midlife crisis. I reckon the only people who think that "age is just a number" are those that are still young enough not to care. Not to worry though, I still have my health, well if you disregard my creaky knees, aching back and tendancy to forget what I went into the kitchen for.

Lukey turns 4 this coming Sunday, bless him. He is starting his big school in September and went for his first visit Wednesday afternoon, wouldn't let me leave him though so I had to stay in class with him. I quite enjoyed it, in fact, no I loved it. It was so great watching all the little kiddywinks adjusting to the new setting (they are all Luke's classmates), after a while they had to gather on the mat for a story before leaving for home. The teacher (10 years younger than me btw) got out a fab book about an elephant but I think I got a wee bit too into it as when she asked the question "and what do we shout when we want to scare somebody?" I very loudly and worryingly enthusiastically yelled "BOOOOOO"!!! THE KIDS LAUGHED AT ME!!! Sulk! Well, I least I was paying attention.
