News Update ...

It's official … I'm a slack blogger!

But let me take this opportunity to play a little bit of catch up.

Hubby left for New York … WITHOUT ME … spent three weeks there …WITHOUT ME ... and then came back … surprisingly without me.

He's been complaining and moaning about tiredness and jet lag ever since ... but I think he needs to suck it up … because he spent three weeks in New York … WITHOUT ME!!



Buster got hairier and hairier …


Until I finally took him to a groomer and got it all cut off … well except for that bit on his right ear.


Master 17 had his yearly exams … which he didn't stress about at all … which as usual stressed me greatly!  We await the results with baited breath!

In other Master 17 news … something wonderful happened … something amazing … something that made me the proudest mother of all time!

He was offered the position of 2015 School Captain!!!

Which he enthusiastically accepted … of course.

Where he gets his motivation, drive and initiative is a mystery  … because it's basically the opposite of me … but I'm incredibly grateful and proud.



His co-captain is one of his best friends … which just makes the whole story even more perfect.


Yep … we are a very happy family indeed.

    1. It sure is a possum … that's the school symbol … probably due to the fact that we have loads of them around here :0)

    1. He's been back almost a week and he's STILL milking the jet lag for all it's worth … I suspect a scam ;0)
