As is often the case, a period of inactivity for my blog has been due to a great many things going on in the real world.
It was Fi’s Mum’s Birthday on June 19th and as a surprise we decided to pop over to Calonge and pay a visit. Many thanks must go to Jim for organising (and paying!) for the surprise. He successfully ensured that everyone knew about our trip except Patsy.
It was so good to go back to Spain. Amazingly it was the first time that we had been over since our Christmas trip and we had a great time, although it’s hard not to with beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, a swimming pool and loads of food and drink. It will almost certainly be the only time we’ll be able to go this year. Fi is now 29 weeks pregnant and the airlines start getting twitchy about people flying when this far into a pregnancy. Thankfully though we’ll see Fi’s parents quite a bit more this year.
Fi needed to have the first of fer Anti-D injections at her 28 week midwife appointment. An unpleasantly long needle was used and it didn’t go into her arm. It goes without saying that I had to look away. I’m not a great fan of watching people get ‘stabbed’ as the midwife so eloquently put it. Everything continues to go as planned with the increasingly large bump. Not long now….
It was my 31st Birthday last Thursday and it was a reasonably quiet affair. My parents came up from Cornwall on Thursday and Fi cooked a great dinner for us all. We continued with a Spanish theme on Friday with a lovely meal at La Tasca with the usual gang and then ended it all on Saturday with a trip to see Batman Begins. Incidentally, it’s as good a movie as I’ve seen recently. Finally let me thank everyone once again for their cards and presents. You're all too kind.
Actually, Birthdays are the in thing at the moment. It's Paul and Rach's in the coming week so expect more frivolity.
