Phew...

It has been a while, must admit I had nearly forgot I had the blog until I had a little free time and thought hmm maybe I should write this down and then went duh!! you got a blog.

So apologies for those that keep reading and for everyone else - hey it tough sometimes and other priorities get in the way.

So me Julie is back on friday, and we gonna spend the weekend... come on now keep it clean :) getting our digital piccies organised onto the new 'puter and get some eventually uploaded and linked, this will satisfy many people ;) you know who you are.

...and speaking of time, it now February and before you know it, it will be the summer with nice long hot days, drinkies and BBQ's soon followed up by christmas, doesn't it make you think that every year is the same - hee hee - think about it... gotcha!

We gonna be snowboarding next Monday, so will have another week of aches 'n pains to nurse - ooh that might be fun :) oops... sorry, I digressed there... I want to see what I retained from my lesson at the beginning of the month, I'll let you know how we get on.

toodle pip till next time.....

We're in Texas

We are in Texas for a few days, I go back to Seattle on the 14th and Julie is here till the end of the month.

We arrived yesterday and the sun was shining and you could feel the warmth in the air, very different to Seattle which was chilly and damp...

We woke this morning to find, you guessed it, it was raining (hee hee) we traveled all this way to get away from the rain and what happens - it finds us!

We are here visiting Julie's Brother and Sister-in-law and the new baby - they have a 2 year old and a new born, so Julie is doing the old ga-ga thing - nice. :)

We have the camera and wil be taking piccies and some time sooner or later I will post them, just not enough hours in the day to get stuff done, now where have I heard that one before?

Another week over....

It has been another long week full of stressing work things and a fun day in the snow :)

Yesterday went up to Stevens Pass (http://www.stevenspass.com) and we had a skiing/snowbaord day on our boss.

I can ski so thought 'hey, you've wanted to try snowboarding so why not' and snowboard I did. We had a lesson in the morning where one unlucky individual was stretchered off the hill - hmm bad omen I here ya say but luckily the poor lass was the only casualty (not including bruised ego's, bumped heads, aching limbs etc) - I know ache from head to toe literally - snowboarding all day long when it your first time, all good fun.

I'm thinking now I may invest in package deal for a board, boots and bindings and take a few more lessons - I think once I get usedto it I will like this as much as skiing.

And a continuation on the bacon butties - I found some irish back bacon in the freezer (I know it not English or Scottish but it close enough) - I forgot 'er indoors got some and we froze it - it was very tasty and with the remaining pack I made a quiche which was surprisingly good too :)

The weekends coming up and I can feel a nice, lazy, couple of days being in order so with that I'll say toodle pip for now and catch you next week.
