We were sailing..

Cor those cruise ships are brilliant. An utterly excellent holiday on MV Aurora and who'd have thought their facilities for children would be so good. M had an absolutely marvellous time, and so did we. More food than we could eat and a decent amount of plonk to wash it down. Rotterdam wasn't really up to all that much, but perfectly pleasant and the on-water boat museum was lovely. Bruges was as delightful as I remembered, and not as hectic as the last tour that I did with my sister last time we cruised with Mum and Dad. On that occasion we were dragged from our beds at 0630 with hangovers and frogmarched around the city - who'd have thought that the average speed of a little old lady was so fast!

Speaking of hangovers I have been mortally afflicted today buy what I call "double jeopardy" which is the combination of a girl's night out and the arrival of the painters (to put it euphemistically). I wasn't expecting any internal renovation at this stage post-m/c, but in general it is welcome as it means things are getting back to normal?? Dare I hope? Anyway, the counting and bedroom action can now commence, and I must keep taking the tablets!

The girl's night out was excellent though. Much fun had, although yet another of my friends has been visited by the miscarriage fairy - grrrr! Can't she find another beat?
