Well, what to say? Nothing much has been happening here recently. The kids have been playing too much Playstation Harry Potter games (NOT my doing, I can tell you - and it won't be happening again!!). I'm way behind on my course work but I have managed to clean out a couple of cupboards and made a grim reaper costume for Mr Adam. Just to make a bat costume for Miss Lucy now - for Saturday night! My mum is having a Halloween Party for the family and we are all to dress up for the occasion - kids are sooooo excited but didn't want to wear their usual dress up stuff, so out with the sewing machine. The grim reaper outfit came out okay after I had unpicked one sleeve because I had put it in the wrong way round (it was inevitable - that sort of thing always happens when I'm being extra careful not to make a mistake). He likes it anyway. I've a hospital appointment this afternoon, so Lucy's will have to wait until tomorrow.
We have been on a couple of nice walks, one around Linlithgow Loch which was really nice and we saw loads of wildlife (crested grebes, cormorants, etc etc). The funniest bit was when a very large male swan walked (waddled?) up behind Dave and tapped him on the back with his beak - the look on his face was priceless (Dave, not the swan). But, I must admit that the weather is so much colder it's been keeping me inside a lot more than usual brrrrrr!
The biggest excitement of the week (you can tell I don't get out much)was getting my Student Union card - how cool am I? I feel so young and well, 'studenty' now. If only I could still fit into those faded jeans and hippy top...... Never mind eh, I can get an extra 5% off at Amazon, so it's not all bad!

I had a NUS card for several years whilst doing c&g, used to use it everywhere here and even in Germany!
Still miss the little discounts :)

Have a fabulous time at your party, it sounds like a lot of fun.
Way too much playstation, way too much computer - I get you!!!! Lots of wildlife around your Loch - is there a monster in it too?????
Its all go doing the things we have to rather than the things we want to isn't it. Never mind we all have weeks like this I think I've just had 2 of them!! Have a great Halloween with the children
Hi Susan, I wondered what has happened to Foxgloves blog, its all adverts and as much as I try I cant get to read how she is. I miss her and wondered if she has two blogs? Hope the studying is going well
