One of these days I'm going to sit down with my mother and a tape recorder so that I can write out her memoirs! Seriously, the stories she has to tell you couldn't make it up! We went out for lunch today and over a bottle of wine she shared another little tale that I hadn't heard yet! *lol* Not sure I'd want to write it under my real name (or hers for that matter) but omg has she ever had a colourful life ;-) I love her to bits and I don't get to see enough of her but at least when we do see each other it's always a good day, although I'm paying now for all the walking about afterwards with the way my foot is feeling.. no it's still not better yet. It's probably going to fall off at this rate. Mind you at least that would save on the shoes ;-) There's always a bright side yes?

I've pretty much hidden at home the last few days other than meeting my mom today. There was a power cut yesterday so L taught me how to play chess! Personally I would have been quite happy to play Scooby Doo Monopoly or Scrabble, but I always beat L at scrabble and the boy is not a good loser... you should see him yell at the X-box at times.

I realise how much I need a holiday right now. I don't know if I'm gonna get the chance before the end of this year but right now a week in a cabin in the middle of nowhere sounds like heaven. Mind you being completely dependant on my mobile and laptop I'm sure I'd go mad after about 24 hours! Yes I'm hopeless I admit it :-P I'm sure there was a time when I had neither... way back in the dark distant past....
