Baby Showers and being home

Arrived home on Wednesday evening, back to work on Thursday and Friday, which I found quite hard to engage with - still lots going on - with a strong element of change and a personal under-current of chaos!

Yesterday Jimmy and I got up early and blitzed the house for Becki's Baby Shower - which given decorators and me being away - needed it! The party was absolutely lovely - it was Gilly's idea and I don't think any of us knew quite what to expect - but I made an afternoon tea and Gilly found banners, balloons and a couple of games off the internet and everyone brought a present for the baby - and the soon to be Mum and the two great Grand-mothers, the shortly to become Nana and Aunty plus the Great Aunties and friends had a wonderful afternoon! Jimmy stayed in to say hello to his Nan - which he did - but then hid upstairs - not a party for an 18 year old boy!

Busy again at work this week, Jimmy has his mock A levels and the decorator starts on the downstairs and a new back door should be fitted. Not going to do too much today though - apart from sort out the back room ready for the decorator! Life's good.
