sorry mum

we're just about to go grocery shopping for tonight. We're having a fancy dress dinner thing. As usual jamie and i are a little last minute - still gotta think up a costume and make dinner for 20. its going to be a fun afternoon!

I think the highlight of the morning was mum sending me a picture text of her bottom. genius! i wonder if she'll be cringing when she looks at the blog at work?? i hope so :-)

hoping to get some fun photos of tonight too - watch this space.

team komolafe

mia and ruben

this week started well with a coffee with the komolafes - it was so good to see lynne and segun again. it has been a while since we last caught up. It was my first chance to see new wee baby ruben - and to get a cuddle. Mia has grown up so cute and really sweet natured too. Its so good to spend time with old friends.

mia is defiantely uber cute - she has the tshirt to prove it

brel

jamie mid set - better photos taken with the slr but not uploaded them yet


so its been a while since the last blog, but i wanted to tell you about our fun night out to glasgow last thursday. jamie had a support gig for the felt tips at brel in ashton lane, the west end. When we first arrived it was like being in spain - it was really warm and everyone was sitting about outside the bars. It turned out to be a fun night. i love glasgow. Jamie played well (if i do say so myself) and we got chatting with a reviewer from the herald who said he had really enjoyed jamie's set and took his number.
I think the highlight has got to be stuart's first ever kfc on the way home.

thats the very bag - a momentous event!!

How do you get that old without having tasted the delights of kfc??

needless to say - stuart enjoyed it

a quick hello

its been a busy week. not very bloggable but fun. Just thought i should say hi before i head off to work. jamie's off work this week and im enjoying getting my breakfast made for me :-)
Anyway gotta run.

walkies

after the business of the gig on saturday night I missed church on sunday morning (call myself a christian huh??) . which was a shame because EVERYBODY has told me it was really great. paul was talking about grace - at least i should be able to get parts 2 and 3 over the next few weeks!

sunday afternoon brought a peaceful leisurely stroll and catch up with our favourite springer-owning friends Karen and Jeremy and their little baby Nathan. Well... I say peaceful... it was appart from the guy pumping out beats from his turntable complete with mahhussive amps and own generator... as you do!

the big amps - sorry pic is small - i wasnt getting any closer to the madman or his followers!

baby nathan seemed to enjoy the hardcore dance anthems rocking out the braids

Cara really enjoyed the walk especially having jake to play with - I enjoyed a chance to get caught up with Karen :-)

sunday strolls

the 3 Tour

jamie in action

Jamie had a support slot on the 3 tour's stop in edinburgh. It went down well - 7 cds sold - and lots of compliments :-) it was really good to see yvonne and dl too and to hear them playing with neil alton and gareth davies-jones. i was really touched that my workmates and friends came along too. Thankfully they seemed to enjoy it (or at least they pretended to convincingly)

lots to catch up on... the dominion

the dominion

well it's been a while and I will endeavour to fill you in without missing anything out.
Last Thursday Bagger invited Jamie and i out to the cinema. But not just any cinema... the dominion - a family run cinema that is more of a night out than a quick film kind of place. It has really friendly staff and a bar and fantastic recliner chairs

jamie and bagger - how many cinemas let you take your beer in?? there were free pringles too - but I had eaten them pretty smartish :-) once you pop you cant stop

going on a thursday night meant the place was quite empty. The film we watched was ok - but not magnisficent - so ok that i cant even remember the name of it! But thanks to the dominion and a bucket of kfc it was defiantely a good night out!

the view from my very comforable reclined seat - dont worry you copyright people - it was just the pre film adds

poor puppy

the lack of pedicures has taken it's toll. Poor Cara needed another operation to remove another dodgy nail. This time she came home with what is described in Scotland as a red "stooky". It's very cute!

amazingly the sock hasnt been chewed off... yet

she even has a little wellie to put on when she goes out for walks/pees. Its made of a saline solution bag and a bandage. Cara's got quite used to it and now sits at the door with her paw up ready for wellification and more amazingly she sits when she comes in for de-wellification!

"oh wellies they are great gosh wellies they are swell..." mr billy connolly - genius

the saddest part of the whole thing is listening to cara groan in pain - every so often there's a little whimper from her. Is it wrong to make prayer requests for a puppies paw?
