Holiday.

Gosh it seems like ages since i typed anything. We came back from holiday tosay. It was a brilliant week. I forgot how much fun it is being away fom everything. The Cottage was amazing. Very swanky, huge television, fourposter bed, American style fridge, en-suite for the master bedroom. I picked up loads of things i want to do in our house/ flat when we can finally buy one ourselves. The children loved it. Though we were all fed up with pub food buy the end of the holiday. There is only so much scampi and chips or lasagne you can have. We always had one meal out and 2 meals in a day. That seemed to work well. We did shit loads of walking. Mainly up hills. If you've ever visited the Isle of Wight then you'll agree that there are alot of up hills and very few down hills. My lovely little kiddies walked liked champions. The holiday also reminded me how much i love spending all my time around hubby, it's crap we have to do things like work!
I have no idea whats been going on it the real world since the IOW officially still thinks that WW2 is going on so i cannot count it as 'the real world' also we didnt put BBC News 24 on once. For us that' s very good. We're news junkies. There are worse things to be addicted to. Like Tic Tacs, speaking of which we watched Juno. Hmmm not sure it doesnt deserve oscar nominations but it is a really good little Indie film and much better that the usual hollywood twaddle ( i love that word).
The Hubby is now on Facebook. He's giggling with glee at each new face he recognises and is so chuffed that most of his old school friends look older than him.
I am also still enjoying Facebook, still recognising people. I love emailing everyone to find out what they've been up to. It's so interesting seeing where there lives have led them. One of my old friends is training to be a Doctor. Seriously if you had met her at school you'd be as baffled as me. She was one of those people that could of been on the herbal essences adverts and now she's being a doctor...weird. Another of my old friends is married and training to be a teacher, she was so great, she used to always big up Kashmir and one of the greatest compliments ever given to me came from her.
Guess it makes you wonder what they think of you? If it's weird to them what your doing? Or is it completely normal and they always saw you doing what your doing now? For instance one old friend is now working for an airline and it well suits him, through and through. I'm just pleased that Facebook introduces you back into peoples lives so you get to keep up with all the little twists and turns without, yes i know it's harsh, but without expending to much effort or time. Really it's soo easy to type an email and lets face it everyone is busy, an email can be sent and replied to whenever unlike a phone call. You can also keep in touch wherever they are for free.
