Father's Day Weekend

Well the weekend went well - daughter went to an amateur boxing match Saturday night as her friend from work was fighting. Turned in around 1.45am, after going clubbing, quite inebriated and saying she was too old to go clubbing now at 23 lol. Amy (my sister) popped in for an hour for a chat and picked up Rhondda's puppy bed that she has outgrown now. Amy does car boot sales so she will probably sell it there. She keeps saying she wants another dog but don't think she will actually get one anytime soon.

Green Singing Finches

Sunday was Father's Day and the kids all planned a nice surprise for OH. The 3 of them have clubbed together to buy him 2 pairs of birds, Green Singing Finches and Bengalese Finches. The Green Singing Finches are really difficult to get hold of as they are quite rare, and very expensive! Daughter purchased 2 of them, but has to wait for the hen to come from France in 4 weeks time. She has been trying to locate some for several months.  Eldest son and DIL visited with the kids, then after they left youngest son arrived. Daughter brought the birds in when she finished work and our youngest son stayed to tea. Nice day all round really as toddler had company with her cousins here to play with.

It was another quiet day today, Monday, apart from daughter's boyfriend and his friend calling in this morning. Toddler has a bad cold but seems OK in herself. OH was home early today and helped with the toddler as daughter worked. He went off to the cinema with his free ticket that he was given at work so I had a nice chat with my sister Jane - lucky I have lots of minutes on the phone lol. Have a busy few days now. Tomorrow we are having a barbecue to celebrate Summer Solstice. We are not Pagan but OH always celebrates Midsummer's Day with a bit of a party for family and friends. We are starting around 3pm and then it will just go on until everyone goes home. Daughter has the night off - she swapped Tuesday's shift for a shift on Wednesday.  We are off to the opera on Wednesday night, so her 2 friends are babysitting for her. Then the big day for voting in the EU Referendum is on Thursday, and I'm going to try to stay up all night to see the results!!

My Next Job lol

Bit disappointed that I can't get Rhondda in to the groomers next week or this week as she is fully booked, and then going away for a week! Will probably bath her myself if we get a nice day next week. Really wanted her clean and cut short as we are going away to the caravan again for the Beer Festival. Not really my scene but OH will love it, and I think youngest son is coming for a few days too.
Bye for now All the best x
