    noey has been having fun at school as well i think and is still zooming about the house trying to help with everything she can and loving any european meal that jane presents her with!

    i picked up some prints of my some of my photos which are going in a mini exhibition with some friends at the end of the month so that’s exciting

    and i spoke to the man at the bank about mortgage rates which the man at the bank was really excited about, which was nice.

    and jane is really busy.

    i drove in to work this morning to get some new tyres for my car as they were nearly as bald as my head.  there’s a place right next to my office and the convenient thing is you can leave your car there all day and save on parking

    150507_IMG_4566

    school for all today.  kezia had orchestra after school and esther had tennis

    150507_IMG_4569

    i worked from home today as kezia had a dentist appointment.  jane picked her up from school and took her there.  i did the reverse (but not in reverse)

    other excitement were some excellent window cleaners came along. they did a great job with the windows now looking so clear it’s almost like they aren’t there (eg below)

    esther had millions of musical things and so did kez i think.  kez also got her music performance uniform (above)
