I bought Georgina a copy of Fallout 3 this morning and then took the kids to The Engine House at the Severn Valley Railway this afternoon, whilst she played her game. We enjoyed ourselves as there were few people there, so I didn’t have to worry about how noisy the kids were :)

DS cases
I ordered some DS cases from Game‘s website and they arrived yesterday. When we got one out, they were much to big and very generic, so they had to go back. Fortunately, Game have a sane returns policy, so I was able to take them back the branch in Birmingham and get a refund. Whilst I was there I checked out the cases they had in stock and found a much smaller one that was more suitable. It was even in the sale, so I saved money :)
This is a photo of the man who holds the Subway sign. He’s always on the phone!
Rain
Today both kids managed to be rude to their mother and I shouted. The day didn’t improve at work where I managed to be very unproductive all day and didn’t get half the stuff done that I wanted to. To cap it off, it rained all the time during my walk around Birmingham at lunchtime.
Hopefully tomorrow will go better.
As a result of the rain, today’s photo was taken indoors with my new flash and I quite like it, even if I did have to take 73 pictures to get this one!
A walk into town
Snow!
Brrrrrrrr
Scott and Megan
The first half of today was taken up with the start of the “clearing out the garage” project. I did fairly well and removed a car’s worth of stuff to the tip. I also put 5 items up on Freecyle to give them new homes rather than put them in landfill. One of the items is Georgina’s old Biorb aquarium and we had a little confusion with the first person who wanted it as they only wanted the air pump for their current aquarium, but it’s the wrong type. Hopefully a few people will turn up tomorrow and collect.
In the afternoon, Scott and Megan visited us. The boys got over-excited as usual! Scott in particular was a champ this visit and played hide and seek with them for a good while. Jon and Ben also shown them their new DSs, played new board games and we also got out the marble run which was great fun. I took lots of photos with my new flash too :)
Working from home
A New Year
We’ve had a relaxing day at home as it’s so cold that we wimped out of going to the zoo. Instead we went out for a meal at the Three Pears and it was excellent. I do like how well they treat children there and the food is good too.
In the afternoon we played on the Wii and Jon and Ben have been enjoying their new DSs too. I also managed to get up the Christmas photos.
