I’m aware I haven’t been in touch for a while, to be honest it’s all been a bit of a hard slog, being solar powered, these grey days are starting to take their toll.
So I had a word with myself and the husband and booked a holiday. It’s only a few weeks away so I thought it might kick start my exercise and diet plan, which also encourages a happy mood. I’m on these vanilla protein shakes for breakfast and lunch which I add powered peanuts and a banana to. They really are quite delicious, but not the liquid lunches I’m accustomed to.
We’re going back to Origo Mare in Fuerteventura. It’s clean, it’s warm and sunny, in fact today it’s due to be a balmy 23*. It’s a self contained holiday village built around a water park, like a little oasis. Actually when I went there with Kayleigh it was so empty it looked like one of those purpose built locations for practicing bombing, but let’s not talk about that! It’s owned by a French company so the food is magnifique and there’s plenty of it.
The Twinkles were babies when we last went so don’t remember it at all. I was chatting about it with Harry and this was his recap,
“ so, we’re going on holiday? And we can go swimming every day and to a mini disco every night? And we can have cake for breakfast and ice cream whenever we want? I don’t believe it Mummy. I don’t believe it’s real. Something like that would just make me far too happy and I might go bonkers!”
Not much you can say to that really, but a big fat hug did the trick!
Ollie keeps just telling me he doesn’t like airplanes or flying. At what age can you start taking Temazepam not to be confused with marzipan?!
Actually we were watching Aladin and some naughty chap got pushed down a well by some other really naughty chap and Ollie turned and asked me if they’d pushed him down the well so he could turn in to wishes. Bless him, I did explain it doesn’t quite work like that, otherwise who knows what odds and sods Ollie would be throwing down a well should we happen across one?
We’ve had a very lazy, indoor weekend on account of all the bogies. All three boys have the lergy and I’m drowning in tissues and snot.
We did break out for a few hours yesterday to go to a Ninja Party. It was okay, their outfits included masks and we all did a lateral flow test before. What a brilliant idea though! Even the party bags and cakes were a class act and pizzas from Dominoes, this was taking parenting to a higher level and has set the bar. The boys have already said they want a ninja party for their birthday in November, notes taken, job done and they shouldn’t have grown out of their outfits by then the lanky beans!
Right, I suppose I’d best go wake them up. A very happy Monday to you and a happy birthday to Auntie Angelina Ballerina. Actually she isn’t a ballerina, but that girl can defy gravity doing aerial acrobats on a piece of silk, I get exhausted trying to put a ribbon in my hair!
