Well it has been a relaxing weeked on the downward stroke to the next bout of chemo on Wednesday.
Friday saw the introduction of SKY HD multi-room to the Swordfish family to complement the blue ray home cinema and LED TV. Even I am gadgeted out now. I sort of won Kitten over to my entertainment infrastructure master plan when viewing Harry Potter in Surround Sound with the kids, though she finds it hard to admit. iPod hooked in too and tele is internet capable so "Teach" will be drooling!
I popped out on Friday night to Notoplip's football club end of season do. I usually go away for the end of season bash which takes place on FA Cup weekend (next weekend). It's always a riotous affair but I will have to give it a skip this year. The boys have had a good season.
Huffty moved up an age range group at football and was pleased with himself. He's football crazy and we took him to a football trading cards swap session on Saturday, whilst Boogle went to Werthers17's daughter's birthday party.
So all normal and fun stuff. The best was saved until last though. After spending a couple of hours getting the video toolbar working at the top of the page (I got the feeling that Kitten would have preferred to see me do something more useful), we went to Lance Corporal and Big Boss's house for Sunday Roast and to watch Chelsea stamp all over Manchester United's dreams of a 4th consecutive Premiership title. Well done the blues.
Chelsea's victory only just surpassed Lance Corporal's roasties (which were superb) and I demonstrated amply that chemotherapy need not dampen one's appetite; sorry there were no leftover roasties for you Big Boss.
It was good to catch up and the kids had fun too with their daughter who is the same age as Boogle.
Having friends and guests for lunch can be a lot of hard work but it seemed such a relaxing day, we enjoyed having you over, Thank you Kitten for you help as usual and the delicious chocolate fudge cake. Big boss has had more than his fair share of roasties over the years, so glad he actually left you any and you enjoyed them. As you can imagine Aladdin was in very good spirits (inside and out) returning from the match at Chelsea and was disappointed that he missed an xbox game with Huffty, he promised to make it up to him next time and Pocahontas said it was worth missing horse rangers for the afternoon to spend some time with boogle. As for Jenson Button what happens in the club stays in the club!! Looking forward to a few lazy summer bar-b-q s with the swordfish family xx
ReplyDeleteYes, thanks again, and we won't put the Jenson Button story on the blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Didier Drogba story then?
ReplyDeleteDrooling!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTeach, every man needs a hobby. I have just succeeded in turning my house into my "metaphorical" shed.
ReplyDeleteInterconnectivity of the different components is the next phase of the hobby.
The kids have already been playing "Moshi Monsters" against each other over the internet. One on the laptop the other on the PC.
Even Kitten appreciates the surround sound. Though I have had to turn down the subwoofer to ensure that I don't alienate the neighbours :-)
