Been a nice week and weekend really, after the "highs" of Monday, the week calmed down (I think the MD avoided me, which was nice) and the weekend was fun.
On Saturday we got the paddling pool out (yes, I am aware it is October) and the kids enjoyed a splash about in there... until Thomas poo'd in it anyway (yuck!). Was nice to just sit around doing very little for a change, not having to rush about visiting people or having to go shopping. I took a few photos, and realised that our camera sounds like it's on it's way out. Oh dear. Decided that it may be best to buy a new one ready for Thursday (Lee Evans!!) so got my Google Goggles out and have a little hunt on-line for a good one. In the evening me & WB had pizza, and DW had a Chinese while we watched the last episode of Doctor Who season 6. Afterwards me & DW watched Confidential and they showed River's life in order from her point of view, rather than from the Doctors, which was a very interesting thing to see! After that we played Swamp Fever on Left 4 Dead 2, completing it in about an hour, but a Tank killed DW just as rescue arrived... what a shame!!!
On Sunday we went to the Army, and afterwards took the little ones into town as WB was at an all-day practice. We went in to Jessops and I bought a new camera - the Canon SX210 IS. I'm not 100% happy with it, and may take it back as the images are too noisy for my liking, and the "HD" video mode may have the resolution, but it definitely doesn't have the quality. We also went to Pizza Hut and they were waaaaaaaay under-staffed for the amount of people in the restaurant. Service was appalling, but I had nothing but sympathy for the three waitresses running around trying their best. When we got home I changed the light fitting in the kitchen from a stupid energy-hungry fancy thing, to a simple hang-down one I could put an 11W bulb in, looks ugly, but will save us quite a bit of money! In the evening I played with my camera a bit and did one mission on Red Alert 3 with a friend to make sure everything worked before our first weekly game tonight.
And that just about brings you up-to-date. Enjoy your day!
