Farmyard Adventures

Quack!

Today Morgan, Bili, Steve and I went to the Amelia Trust Farm. It was really good. The animals were all really friendly and didn't mind being hugged by Morgan who wants to hug everyone and everything at the moment, he also got to feed the ducks and chickens which he enjoyed.




Morgan also liked the goats, although Steve wasn't too sure!



Everyone liked the donkey, although Bili said she found him a bit "greasy" !?! Everyone had a good time (although Bili was scared of all the animals) and I'm sure we will go again. If you like farm animals and that kind of thing then I suggest you make a visit!

Yummy Biscuits

Made biscuits with Morgan today. They were very tasty.

A Week In The Life Of Sian

I've been really crap at updating this blog recently. It's seems like so much has been going on recently that I haven't had the time, also Ross has re built my computer and I had to re install various bits of software and all that kind of malarky. Anyway here is a quick summary of some of the things I've been doing:

Most of this week has been spent helping my friend Elese and her little boy Dewi move house, mostly this has involved sitting around, drinking coffee and talking about it, but somehow she managed to get it all done and is spending her first night in her new home tonight. It's been scary for her to leave Dewi's Dad and become a single parent but all in all it's for the best. On a purely selfish level though I'm a bit gutted that she's moved further away from me as she used to live at the bottom of my street and now I'm actually going to have to walk further than a few steps to see her.

One of my other friends has had some big news too (you know who you are!) but we'll leave that for a future post.

The rest of the time has been spent taking Morgan out on day trips in the lovely weather we've been having. We went to the Rhondda heritage park



It was really nice and Morgan had a lovely time playing in the park



I have also spent some time pottering around in my garden




Morgan had a great time planting seeds ( or eating compost depending on how you choose to look at it) He mastered the watering can too, although he soaked himself and everything else within a 10 metre radius in the process!




Tomorrow morning will be spent drinking coffee in Elese's new house, it's a hard life innit. Then tomorrow afternoon I am looking after Dewi which I'm sure will be nice for Morgan, if he can get his head around sharing his toys. So there we have it, my week in short and a promise to at least try to post more regularly.

MP3 Joy

I thought I'd better update my blog as I haven't written anything for a few days, but to be honest I've not done much except play with my new toy, my MP3 player that is. It is just so fantastic! I can't praise it enough. I've been listening to all sorts of things and stuff I haven't heard for ages, it's amazing to have all the music you want at your finger tips, also the sound quality is so superb it gives me shivers! One of the best things is you can put it on random and it plays a compilation of all the songs you have on there. Anyway I could go on and on but I'll just say that I highly recommend one for your listening pleasure!


Tracy Jenkins, if your reading this, make sure you come and see me one day next week. I know you said you were all whinged out but I'm sure we'll find some more bitching in us somewhere if we try hard enough! Keep your chin up kid.

MP3 Player...!!!!

I have just ordered myself a beautiful little MP3 Player. After much searching on the internet I decided on the Creative Zen Touch. I have wanted one for ages but didn't know if I would use it enough to warrant the cost, but I thought "what the hell, you only live once!" plus it's my birthday in July so I'm calling it an early birthday present and hoping I will get at least some of the money back from generous relatives! Also as I will not really have much of a chance to use it in the daytime or Morgan will wonder where his Mummy's gone, Ross can use it to listen to music on his way to and from work on the train, really then I've only bought half an MP3 Player! Ok, flimsy justifications over with, it should arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday! I am Soooo excited it's ridiculous!

Dental Health Care?

Today I had a traumatic visit to the dentists. I went to find out if the wisdom tooth that is giving me jip was coming through properly. After putting my mind at rest by saying "We'll just wait to see if there's enough room for it to come through and then decide if we need to take it out" (thanks for that) and prescribing some antibiotics for the infection I found myself pinned down with several implements of torture in my mouth while he replaced a filling that had nothing to do with why I went there in the first place. After he had completely numbed my face and I had my mouth open as far as it would go (dignified!) he said "Did you used to live in Creigiau" to which I replied "Urgh Uh Uh" read " How did you know that?" to which he replied "I used to live there too, you lived in Parc y Felin didn't you?". I felt suitably freaked out by this as I didn't even recognize him and he knew which street I lived in! Weird.

Anyway he then tortured me for 40 minutes and charged me £21 for the privilege of leaving me looking like a stroke victim.

On a more pleasant note, my friend Sunny came to visit today, again someone I hadn't seen for ages. We had a right laugh about old times and looked through old photos of when we traveled Europe together after university. Bili and Steve are due any minute too for an evening of drinks and playstationing!

Bank Holiday

Spent a lovely bank holiday with Ross and Morgan. Went to the big park in Porth on Sunday (See above) and had a lovely time rolling around in the grass with Morgan and watching him fall down the hills because he was running faster than his legs could cope with. We all went swimming today which was surprisingly nice since I actually think that getting into what is essentially a big bath with a load of strangers is a really weird thing to do. I have been told that I do tend to over think these things though. Morgan loved it, after an initial moan because it was cold he really got into it and splashed around for an hour.

I'm a bit disappointed now though as I just watched Matthew Stevens lose to Shaun Murphy in the Embassy World Cup Snooker final. It was a tense match and I always hate to see the Welsh boys lose. Oh well, there's always next year.
