Leaving primary school

Today was Alex's leaving assembly before she moves up to High School in September. I have to confess to shedding a little tear as it is the end of an era, no more trekking up to the primary school for me ever again! - well until grandchildren I guess :P

This evening Alex has gone to her leavers barbeque and disco as the picture below shows she really is growing up, my baby is growing too quick!

40!

On Friday July 10th Stuart was 40 years old, as a "treat" for the old codger I booked him a tandem skydive. He absolutely loved it as you can probably tell from the photos below where he does not stop grinning.


Getting togged up

In the plane

Sitting on the edge of the plane 2 miles up waiting to jump!!

Freefalling above the clouds at 130mph!

Freefalling through the clouds

freefalling with the ground getting closer and closer

Parachute opens!

After the skydive we headed up to the green farm Hotel in Thorpe Market Norfolk. I would definately recommend it for a weekend away. We stayed in the paston room.

Despite the fact I had a chest infection and spent most of the weekend coughing and spluttering I think he had a good birthday :D

Teenager in the house!

So today we officially have a teenager in the house, Sam is now 13 years old. Trying to get her to have a photo she actually likes is impossible these days so no photo yet!
Mark my words I will get one.

Saturday we are going shopping so she can spend some of the ridiculously large amount of money she got for her birthday - better make the most of it I guess cannot see her letting me come along for much longer. Unless she wants me to pay of course!

microchip - OUCH

poor poor Mazey, she had to go the vets todayu to have her second injections and they microchipped her too. Having had previous cats microchipped when they were being neutered I had never seen this before. OMG what a needle, it was huge and the poor thing was clearly in pain while it was being done.

I now feel like the evilest person in the world for putting her through that, she went quite happily into the carrier at home this time, I guess next time will be a different story!

Still hopefully next vet trip will not be for another 6 weeks when it is spaying time, maybe she will have forgotten by then!

All is well!

Well I think we can say integration has been a success, this morning we woke up to find Tommy asleep in one computer chair and Mazey asleep in the one next to him.


Mazey seems to have settled in really well, Alex is absolutely thrilled with her as she is a very cuddly kitten :).

More Mazey Pics

well, so far so good, her and Tommy have been in the same room together without hissing, they have touched noses and they have been eating in the same room at the same time, fingers crossed! Here are some more pics of her.

Tommy

Last night I caught Tommy totally chilled lying on the sofa, he is one big cat!
