Hi all,
Sorry I've been so lax at blogging recently, but a quick update as follows....!
Dominic's eye is not getting fully better; on the 12th we go back to the hospital and a decision will be made whether to re operate on the eye; it seems like the Gortex is 'cheesewiring' through the tissue and so the eyelid is slowly drooping again. Poor old Dom; will keep you all informed....
On a lighter note; it has been carnival time here in Crete; last Sunday was carnival in Neapoli (see photos of main square all decked out and Ella & Theo dressed up). Last night was the school party; all the parents and kids, a huge sound system and a roaring bar-b-q. Despite a 30 minute electricity blackout, a good time was had by all. I got very drunk (BAD mother) and today have felt truly ill; serves me right.
Today the kids had half day and a party at school. Sunday is Malia carnival; mum is planning to take the two bigger ones and I am having a spring clean. Bet Duncan can't wait! Hee Hee!
The highlight of this week of celebration is 'Clean Monday' (this coming Monday) when we all decamp to the beach with around 1000 others for bar-b-q and kite flying. The last 3 years have been great fun so fingers crossed the weather is like today; warm and windy. I'll take the camera and fill you in next week.
Dominic, despite the eye, is coming along leaps and bounds. He is in love with the 'Wiggles' at the moment; I'm posting some photos of him staring up at the TV ; he is looking set to continue the great male Giddings tradition of TV GAZING (sort of like a modern take of fire gazing I suppose!!)

Ella is becoming quite the lady; she is pictured here having a pedicure as an early birthday present from the lovely 'Sue the foot' our chiropodist. Note the 'posh lady of leisure' face!!
Hope you are all well? Quite a few of you are coming out this year - can't wait to see you all !!
