ROYAL HALL GLAMOUR

Tonight we went to a party for one of Theo's classmates at a place called Royal Hall in Malia.
It is a huge complex high in the hills above Malia with the most amazing views of the coast and sea.
It has a vast ballroom for weddings etc and various eateries including outdoor bar areas. It has the biggest swimming pool we have ever seen; it is glam glam glam!

Sadly I did not get to investigate the spa or the restaurant but the children enjoyed the purpose built ballpark/soft play area complete with clown/minder. It was lovely; all the tables set up with party balloons etc and great buffet food all in silver tureens!

Even the lobby and the lifts were impressive (see photos) to us hillybillies from hicksville.

Theo says he wants his 6th birthday here and Ella wants her wedding reception in the ballroom.

GULP!!!

DOMINIC'S FIRST LITTLE FRIENDS PARTY

Hi,

These pictures were taken tonight; Dominic was invited to a friends 2nd Birthday party. Ella and Theo came too.

A good time was had by all and Dominic enjoyed watching the birthday candles being blown out; a nice evening.

Another party tommorow night for one of Theo's class mates; oh what a social whirl. I have IT kids!!!

LONG TIME NO POST

Hi to all my readers

Hope you haven't given up on us!

I know this sounds flaky but I kept forgetting to get batteries for the camera and so never got round to blogging.

Well, I've had my 36th birthday; came and went in a flash!

Duncan's next - the big 40 on 6th June; I've got him a lovely present which I am so excited about but can't tell you yet!

Ella is fine and well; working hard at school. Out alot with her friends on their bikes; down to the other village, Limnes, where mum is living so she can always pop in for a drink and a chat.
She has been raising some tadpoles for a few weeks but they have now gone back to the wild; to the stream in Limnes; quite a few turned into the tiniest little frogs; cute!

Talking about tiny and cute; Theo (after his disastrous one week goldfish) has a lovely new pet; a guinea pig Buddy. I suspect I actually love Buddy far more than Theo but hey! I will attempt to post some pictures.
Typically he has some scurfy skin problem, being from a petshop so I am waiting for some lotion from the UK but....

There is a petrol strike here so post and deliveries to supermarkets are delayed. Luckily Duncan and I filled up just before it began and hopefully that will last us as we have two parties to get to at the weekend end; one for Dominic who has a new mate; Robert, about the same age; they don't really play together but bumble around the room like two little orbiting planets, occasionally colliding over a toy.

Dom is doing great; latest eye checkup all well and a shunt check due on the 23rd. I think he may be entering the terrible twos slightly early as he is starting to get cross! Hey mum, what do you mean I can't climb onto the dining table, you are SO mean, whine whine grumble!!!

The second party is for one of Theo's school friends; a nice little boy called Manos. I like his mum too so that's a bonus. Their party is in a big posh function hall on Saturday night so I'll have to get out the glad rags.

Theo is doing well with his school work, both Greek and English; he is being a bit of a shouty boy at the moment but its probably just boys!

I'm fine, not yet started my summer job at Mini Golf; it seems abit quiet this year but at least I have had a couple more weeks to get sorted because once I start that's it for the summer, although I can't wait for all our friends/family to come over (you know who you are and I am a Primark size 10 har har!!)

Anyway, off to watch National Lampoons Vegas Vacation (the only one we haven't seen). The others leave me in stitches and Duncan shares my humour so love you and leave you for now.
