Another excellent holiday only spoilt by the 'bastard' midges! Gosh, I really hate those beasties! Unfortunately this feeling is not reciprocated as they LOVE me! They love me for breakfast, dinner, tea, supper and any other time when they might be feeling peckish. They love me sooo much that they tell all their friends about me and invite them along for a picnic as well!! As you can imagine this does terrible things to my body and I now have so many spots and welts I am begining to feel that I should be outcast as one of the 'unclean' from the olden days. I wouldn't mind as much if they didn't itch constantly...but they do...all the time! Even the tried and tested repellants do noting to prevent them attacking me. However I will just carry on and keep slapping the creams on!
The day before we went on holiday it was the boy's 18th birthday and as they didn't want a party we arranged for family and close friends to join us for a meal. John and Karen, some friends of ours, opened their restaurant for us and provided one of the best evenings ever! We didn't do any singing or dancing just ate, drank and chatted away. The feedback is that everyone enjoyed themselves and it was rated a 'great success' on our family event scoreboard! I must admit I had a great time too!
William is on with the last of his exams this coming week and I am sure he will be glad when they are over. I know I certainly will. Then it is just a case of sitting back and waiting for the results! Most of the stuff for their unis is sorted / applied for and all finance is now in place so we are ready for the call, so to speak!
