Is it really a month since we last sat together and had a chat?
Last time we met we were at the beginning of a new school term and here we are, very close to half term already. The children are all settling into their new routines and life is getting very busy for them - it's so lovely when they start to get their own interests isn't it?
Rosie's had to miss a couple of things lately as she had to have grommets inserted to correct her 'glue ear'. When she was admitted they were unsure if her adenoids would have to be taken out but thankfully that wasn't the case so instead of two weeks off school, she could go straight back.
My return to Zumba was interrupted by a bad back but fingers crossed that seems to have resolved itself with a little help from the osteopath. I'm sticking with the exercises she gave me in the hope that I can avoid it happening again. I think that I had fallen into bad habits with my posture and ways of lifting shopping and small children.
Tomorrow we are going to visit friends who moved away to a village close to the coast. Weather forecast looks like we will have fine weather for the day so hopefully we will be able to have a walk along the sea front after our lunch. It will probably be the last time we get to feel sand between our toes/paws this year.
Excuse the noise in the garden, a tree surgeon is here to cut down our tree. We noticed several branches dying a couple of years ago and we have done all we can to save it but we have to admit defeat I'm afraid. We have a new tree waiting in the wings to be planted but it is going to look very feeble compared to the 40 year old one we are losing.
I have a 'farewell' party to go to on Sunday. My Zumba teacher is going to travel around South America for six months! She is originally from Venezuela and I think she wants to explore more of that area and show her husband where she grew up. I have no doubt that her travels will be influencing new Latin American dance routines when she returns next year! What an adventure for them both.
Thank you for visiting, let's arrange to meet up again next month, the first Friday in November!

Thanks for the cup of tea. I am so glad to see you moving with more ease, you must show me those stretches. Wonderful news for Rosie only needing the stints to keep her little ears unplugged. Oh so sad about your tree, but it's time had come. Replanting the same type of tree? Well must dash, thanks again for the catch up.
I'm a little late calling in, so i suspect that the tea might be on the stewed side! Really good news re Rosie's ears. :)
I enjoy your little "catch-ups"--especially the tea part!!
How has Rosie done with her grommets? Declan has been sick again - croup and then we don't know what else, fever, cough, pointing to his head and chest and saying "Owie!!". The doctor didn't diagnose anything but said one ear was slightly red so she felt comfortable prescribing antibiotics. He has been just terribly irritable which we attribute to not feeling well. But no indication that they are ready to give him tubes.
Wish we could have a cup of tea together. Maybe a walk in the cooler temperatures and take photos? I would love that.
