It’s Sunday, Elliot has been poorly and so we have enjoyed a PJ day 🙂

Thankfully Elly is seemingly feeling a lot better.

Daddy washed Emily and Bruce and cleaned up the garden including pruning the boys’ bushes in the front garden.

We have watched both of the cars movies and are just sitting down now to a wonderful Sunday Lunch that mummy has prepared for us all :-). Yum !

Poor Elliot cried in the car n the way home from school with a tummy ache. daddy just assumed it was because he was hungry so got straight to work with some dinner for them. He wouldn’t eat it all and was crying again although now with headache, hand ache, face ache etc etc. So, he went up to bed and snuggled up and dropped off for a snooze.

We checked his temperature and low and behold he had a raised temperature so we supplied him with some calpol and within an hour or so he came round again.

He has been telling us that he has felt unwell for the last couple of days but sadly daddy just thought it was anxiety for an upcoming book fair at school. Turns out daddy was wrong to make that assumption.

We are hoping it is a quick thing as Elliot handles being unwell as well as daddy 🙁

K3 NJB replacement is on its way to Mr Barker – Simon has just dropped off the replacement he ordered from DVLA with Gregory.

Hopefully this will be the last that we hear of this silly number plate fiasco…

We had three or four lovely days where the temperature actually almost made it to 10ºC but then on Wednesday the cold came back 🙁

Mummy worked a couple of days last week so daddy day care kicking on Thursday for the day – hence it was haircut day 🙂 OK, so we also took a field trip out to Toys R Us 🙂 We were going to go to Wakefield on the bus as part of the field trip, but sadly we were kept in the barbers for just over an hour and a half as they were MEGA busy 🙁

All back to school tomorrow and we are hopeful that the temperature builds back up again as we were sure that we got a glimpse of Spring earlier in the week…

Elliot and Oliver had a sleep over at Granny Cuckoos last night as mummy and daddy went out for a lovely meal with friends Ed and Sharon. We went to the Blackhouse on East Parade in Leeds – it was a terrific meal with great company – particularly some of Ed’s impersonations 🙂  Part of us wished we had gone for the Wagyu Fillet of beef, as we shared the Chateaubriand (since we not had one for years and it is a bit of a favourite of Simon’s), and felt a little let down with the overall cut of the meat.  There was a live pianist who played some great tracks – in fact Simon thought that it was just a CD that was playing, only to be not right as he enquired as we left… 🙁  Overall, a great night that just demonstrates we should do stuff like that more often where possible – just need to locate a good babysitter for the kids so that we don’t have to rely on Granny Cuckoo all of the time.

The kids have had a great time at Cuckoo’s as she has setup one of the bedrooms as a playroom and we took some of their toys over.  Accordingly, Cuckoo and Nard saw little of the bous since they disappeared into ‘their’ room and played, watched TV etc.

Back to school tomorrow so homework etc is presently being run through and clothes / uniforms located 🙂

Tyler came round to play today (and is hoping for a sleep over – let’s just see how their relative behaviour is first… 🙂 ) and the bos were adamant that they wanted to play outside.  They played out for about 4 hours in the end, including playing with the dogs.  Obviously Pepsi was uninterested in playing given he is a miserable old hound, but Max was up for it.  The sun has been out all day, with temperatures actually touching 10 degrees Celsius believe it or not.

Accordingly it is going to get cold again tomorrow – let’s hope not, it has been lovely today and long may it continue.  Daddy was actually tempted to sit outside and work under the gazebo it was that warm 🙂

Oliver is not in these photos as he went to the Kirklees Light Railway in Clayton West with mummy, Paula and Cayton.  Cayton has got slightly better today (hence they went out) but is clearly still under the weather, the poor little monkey.  Hopefully he will steam out of the illness and get well real soon.
