Well, the kids are in the garden playing and I have got my bikini on so it must be summer!

I am going to go in the garden and read my book (or try to) in a minute to grab a little tan before my school reunion tomorrow. I came back from Alicante 3 weeks ago and any colour I had then has now disappeared! In fact, I was still brown yesterday but it just started peeling off in sheets. Typical! I only needed it to last until tomorrow.

Ben has just come in to say Charlotte has taken a towel off the washing line and is dragging it around the garden. The joys of parenthood.

I am travelling up to Plymouth tonight to stay with my Mum so I have been packing this morning, I usually forget something but I have got my dress and shoes for tomorrow in the bag and that's the main thing.

I have had a nightmare with the internet this morning, the wireless connection is rubbish. I fiddles around with the antenna at the back though and it seems to be ok now. I have stopped swearing at the computer anyway and after 3 hours of trying my emails have finally downloaded.

Right, I am off to bronze (or burn!) now and sort out my grass covered towel.
