Another year bites the dust, 41 for Andy.
Strawberry ice cream, yeah!
Bastie flouts the rules and shows scant regard for the golf club's collar policy.

Daisy and Zach try out my new exercycle for size.
Hurts (the band, not another broken ankle), at Irish Village with Kath and Gav.
On stage action.I can't believe how fast time is flying by at the moment, the end of the school year is hurtling towards us at warp speed.
In the past month Andy has gotten another year older, we (well, I) swooned over The Royal Wedding and the kids gorged on chocolate over Easter. Summer has arrived with a bang, mornings and evenings are ok but we're creeping in to the mid forties during the day. The hose is getting a lot of use to cool down hot little bodies!
We've had a garden spruce up, the gazebo got revarnished and curtains up, the outdoor sofa set cushions re-covered, the tiles re-grouted, new plants, the back steps boxed in by trellis (complete with gate) and a few new cushions to finish it all off. It was a couple of weeks of workmen spending their afternoons snoozing under the gazebo, using my new food trolley as a work bench, taking three attempts to get the job done properly (ish) and generally being an utter pain in the arse but it is finally looking really good.
We've had a few changes inside as well. Bastie has moved in with Daisy and Zach which he loves so he now goes to bed with a smile rather than broken heartedly sobbing. His room is now a play room which is fantastic, all the kids love it. I love it too, stairgate on and I'm off downstairs for a coffee in peace, woo!
We saw Hurts at Irish Village with Kath and Gav last night. They were great, very theatrical and fab live. Andy has spent all day on the couch as a result. We're going to see Joe Cocker on Sunday night at Al Badia Golf Club, last outdoor concert of the year. It's gonna be hot, my money is on Joe keeling over.
