Friday 26^th October

I think I’d better go back to writing a daily blog, hubby says that’s what a blog is, a day by day account, (just because he thinks he knows everything!)

It’s been a mixed bag of emotions this week, Tuesday morning I met up with my Zumba ladies with the usual chatting/teasing and of course crazy dancing. We are experts now on ‘Gangnam style’ dancing!

Tuesday afternoon I went to a friend’s mum funeral, very moving and always sad. 

Finally when there was a brief clearing of the fog my big brother and sister-in-law arrived (actually he is big in both senses of the word!!) LOL

They were staying in a rather nice hotel in Rozel, and with their particular ‘deal’ they had a hire car included, so I had all the pleasure of seeing them without worrying about catering for them at home. Mind you I think that was a wise choice on their behalf, who in their right mind would stay in a house with 4 delinquent children?? (Joke!!)

Visiting St Ouen

Wednesday was dog walking and visiting folks out in St Ouen, and in the evening a Fruits de Mer at home, not being funny but we ordered one for 6 people and it could have fed 10 of us!! Having said that sons 2 & 3 had a good go at eating double the amount of normal people!

Thursday morning another dog walk, before I had to go into work and so hubby took them to play petanque on the village green. Despite the very foggy conditions they did manage a game and sister-in-law won (fair and square) . 

We needed afternoon tea after that so headed to the hotel and enjoyed the jam and scones with my in-laws.

You see so far most of the blog has been about food and dog walks- that just about sums up my week!

As my bro has a damaged knee he was declared unfit to play tennis or badminton…..  (He just couldn’t bear the thought I might actually beat him at something!) What do you mean sibling rivalry? We love each other really……

Very sad to see them go today, far too short a visit, but plans to catch up with each other again soon.

My family seem to have got sore throats- 4 out of 5 of them are suffering, I too have  succumbed but I’m sure that my white cells have got boxing gloves on and are fighting back!!
