Today began
with research for our proposed trip to Wales. Bray had the idea for a Cardiff
trip to pass some time until it was time to move into our place in London – we had
planned on getting to Wales at some point but had no specific dates in mind.
Once that
was all sorted we got some washing done and took the dogs out for a run. Bray
ran all over the field with them and we threw many a tennis ball to be chased.
Another sunny day with a chill in the air was enjoyed by us all…and the group
of small star struck schoolgirls gathered by the school fence convinced that
Brayden was Justin Bieber in disguise! A good chuckle all round.
After work
the house was decorated for Christmas – looks great! We two made spaghetti Bolognese
with cauliflower in cheese sauce (thanks Edmonds!) for dinner before the boys
headed upstairs for ‘Man-time’ while Roni and Laura relaxed downstairs. Laura
was making a caramel skinned fairy for a birthday order and we watched tv, Roni
wrote journals and read a little then we chatted until the boys re-emerged.
Some card
games enjoyed by Roni and the boys before Laura headed to bed, followed by Roni
and eventually the boys after some pre-bed FIFA.
