CHANGING COLOURS

Hello everyone,

Please excuse me if it takes a long time to type this out as every few seconds I`m having to dive under my desk to escape the barrage of whizzes ,bangs, whistles and screams of the Dhiwali celebrations fireworks...lol!  Because our neighbours on both sides of us are having parties in their gardens the noise is horrendous.  On a not very funny note, Jake is cowering at the bottom of the stairs, his eyes wide with fear.  It`ll be the same tomorrow with the festival of Eid, and again on Saturday with Guy Fawkes night. Grrrr!

 

Jake this morning before his daily run.

This morning I was at the hairdresser.  I had decided that I`d been blonde for long enough and asked my stylist if she could change the colour. She did and Hallelujah!  I love it...it is closer to light brown than blonde and I think it really suits me.  Considering my natural colour is brown, albeit dark brown, it should too. I also needed a good cut, it`s the same style but looks much nicer, Kerry loved it and as she can be my harshest critic, I always value her opinion.

Kerry has a dreadful cold which she thinks she has caught from Roman.  I told her that is one of the drawbacks of parenthood, catching all their ailments, it will be worse once he starts nursery I told her, "Thanks!" she said!

Jim said he will only be able to take Jake to Upton Park tomorrow and then not again for another week.  The local authorities are building a huge bonfire there for the public firework display on Saturday.  The whole thing is paid for by Slough Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce.  There will also be a large fairground that will stay for a week.  This event takes place every year and the fireworks are really beautiful.  If I remember I posted an entry in my journal last year with the photos I took.  It is always a good night out as long as you don`t mind crowds.  We are not going this year as Jim is on late shift, instead I will be looking after Roman here while Kerry and Slava go to the cinema.

Tomorrow I will have a nice quiet day....Kerry is going out with a friend in the afternoon, Jim will be working so I can wrap the last of the presents and spend more time on the computer.

Upton Park very early this morning.

Jim went fishing all day yesterday and had quite a haul.  He caught eight fish in the course of the day but there was nobody else there to take any photos, or so he tells me....I`ll just have to take his word for it....lol!   He was home by 5.30pm because of the darker evenings but |I know he would have stayed longer if he could. I expect with the winter drawing in that his fishing days are numbered, he`s not one for sitting there freezing, and who would blame him!

Right, that`s it for today.  I hope you all had a very nice day, take care.
