is an excellent family movie. We got it out of the library and really enjoyed it. It has all the right ingredients, cute dog plus other assorted animals, funny bits, sad bits and tug at the heart strings bits. It was originally a children's book so will look for it when we go home.
We had hoped to have friends over today but they were not well so we spent the day doing normals and generally amusing ourselves while avoiding the frequent rain showers. We had lots of fun with the latest young scientist club kit-photos to follow. The raising experiment was a hit as usual and M was mesmerized as he hadn't seen it before. We also got to make slime, though ours seems a bit rubbery rather than gooey. Sam is very eager to get the next kit as it is all about volcanos and he loves making them.
We managed a swim at our new gym yesterday and I am sorry they lied--that pool is not warm! Even sam said it was chilly and he plays in the sprinkler. Once we got splashing around it wasn't too bad but it could do with being about 10 degrees warmer. M is taking sam tomorrow while I get my hair done and he is really excited about it. We hope to go at least once a week, more if we can.
L and M came to play yesterday and the boys spent the whole time playing some complicated monster hunting game. they both had on safari hats and seemed to be hunting the monsters from scooby do. It is amazing how well they get on, it is like they have always known each other. L and I had a nice visit and she brought us a lovely flower for the garden. We are so lucky to have found nice friends so quickly.
Car is all better, only a blown fuse-but I won't even tell you how much they charged us as they work at an outrageous hourly rate. I wouldn't mind so much if the guys doing the work actually got half of that per hour, but I bet they don't. Forget college-sam is going to open his own garage!!

Glad you guys have made some friends and are starting to enjoy yourself. Maybe you need to wear a wet suit in the pool, haha. Getting your hair done huh, touching up the grey are they, haha. Looking forward to seeing you soon, glad the car is better. Take care.
I couldnt live without my friends. So happy for you. And you're right about the cost of car repairs! It's a real rip off!
Glad it was nothing major for the car, but fully understand your horror at the hourly rate cost.
Really glad you have settled in and made friends already, so important :-)
a girl's got to do what a girls got to do. sam was very disapointed that I didn't come back with purple hair!
