Over the last month or so we've started decorating the lounge/dining area. I completed the dining area at the weekend, so we're onto the lounge over the next few weeks. I'm expecting this to take a while as we've got both boys' birthdays coming up over in early May with associated parties at the weekends. We also have a Christening coming up on Sunday which should be fun.

Today, we went over to Jacky's for lunch to celebrate Georgina's upcoming birthday. Jacky took us out to The Weston Cross where we had a very nice meal. One nice thing about this pub is that they do not skimp on the vegetables served with a Sunday lunch and it was all nicely cooked and not stodgy. In the afternoon, we had hedgehog birthday cake, which was excellent also!

As it's Saturday today, we did homework. For Ben, this turned out to be his activity bag which had a farm animals theme. He liked the matching pairs games and the fuzzy felt best. Jon also went to guitar lesson today and seems to be getting on okay, even though he found today's lesson quite hard.

There's something about photos with reflections in them that I really like.]]> http://www.the-allens.net/blog/index.php?itemid=809
At lunch, I went to find a Post Office and found one in the Jewellery Quarter. Whilst there, I took a photo of this cafe:



Hard to know what to say really!

As a result I get very little else done, so I took a still-life picture this evening:
