Last Day of my Week's Annual Leave

It's Saturday, and it's my last day of my week's annual leave. I could not believe how the week has gone so quick. Nothing special happened. I am just at home most of the time because we can not go somewhere far because the children are still at school, and besides, I am not perfectly well for the first few days of the week. As usual, not feeling 100% after three days of Tonsillitis, having tremors and jittery and not on my usual strenght. I feel that I am not getting any younger, and everytime I am not well, it takes longer time to get back to my usual self. Getting and going old, for short.
Last Thursday's crabbing, we thought of riding the ferry today, but this morning the wind is strong and the sky is grey, so I thought of our safety immediately, and although the children are disappointed, they understood after I explained to them my concerns.
Anyway, we will just stay indoors, rent a film, stroke the rabbits, play nintendo DS, oh, and saying that, I am hooked to Brain Training. I would not tell you how old my brain is but I am working towards it.

Another Good Time

Today, I am so bored, so when the children came home from school, we decided to have some fun and do what Novie did last Tuesday.... Gaya-gaya ba.

Is that how you live your life..... Crabbing?

Just being nosey

Dad, Jessica, James: all busy getting crabs, making sure only the big ones goes to the bucket.
Watch out for that cunning seagull up there, it's after your catch.

Bored, because he's got no luck with crabs, and felt that monkeying about is gonna make it!

This seagull is patiently waiting to get hold of our bait leftovers

Fresh and live, kasarap gataan! Huwag maingay, ang mga puti kasi, kapag nanghuhuli nito, binabalik din sa tubig pagkatapos, di ba naman mga aning! Basta kami, sarap ng hapunan!

Family's Pamper day, My Labour Day.

Well, I had a lovely day off yesterday, and to make it extra special, I brought the whole family to dine out. Just being together as a family is worth celebrating. All of us enjoyed being served at a local restaurant, but unfortunately I forgot the camera so wasn't able to take photos of the place and the food, but it's superb. Then we went to Asda to buy some groceries to start with, but ended up looking at the charts and DVD's. Kids also got a new game for their Nintendo DS's. We went home exhausted but thrilled.
Just before bedtime, I got my foot spa kit out and gave my two kids and husband a good treat each, plus a much needed soothing massage. Ahhhh, joy! I ended up with worn out hands and arms, but seeing them relax and enjoy is a perfect sight.
And guess what? Today, I was on a late shift at work, from 13:30 to 20:00 PM, and soon as I got home, my boy asked me......Mum, are you gonna give us a massage? (Me): What??? Yeah I will, for fifty quit, have you? He just laughed.

A Day to Bond

Freddie, Jessica, and James.... Shame, I can't join because I am holding the camera

We had a very relaxing day out today as a family. Again, it is our priority to bond, despite our busy lives. The kids are going back to school after a week's half term, Freddie is as busy in his business, while me, well, full time intensive care nurse.

Dad and son, walking as bestmates.

This is the only photo taken of me, and yes, a stolen one also by my hubby, caught me unaware whilst keeping an eye on the two kids running around. Well, not moaning, kind of good one anyway.

Indeed, it was a fantastic day. We started swimming with friends, then decided to have fish and chips, and ended with spending few pennies at the Pier Casino. Though we didn't win anything, we had a great time.

Again, being the camera holder, unable to join them part two. It's not fair at all!!!

Youd do not have to spend huge bucks to be happy, it's how you share time and joy to each other.

The fish and chips. Pure British.

After a wholesome but leg aching day, we only have a couple of these special chocs to bring home....Stupid, ain'it????

Visit to Cambridge City, United Kingdom... Wet! wet! wet!

Jessica and James under the rain. Yeah, it's such a wet day, but it didn't stop us just enjoying beautiful sights.

This big tree is just a very nice background for a girl trying to show her "growing up" pose for the photoshoots.

This is Jessica, James, and friend Kyle in front of St. Catharine's College.

King's College, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city of Cambridge.

The troops in front of Anglia Ruskin University - one of modern Universities in Cambridge .

Just a pose whilst waiting for the rest of the gang.

The kids, by the entrance lawn of Corpus Christi.

Picnic at Easton Farm Park

Just having a nice picnic, munching sandwich, cheese, crisps, boiled egg, ice cream, sausages, and what have you, under the sun. Great and inexpensive way to bond. It would surprise you when kids talk. Just listen, and you would learn a lot from them.

Jessica, James, and Friend Alex on their busy tractors while roaming the farm.

Jessica and James trying to climb that giant tree. Whoever gets up first will be told off big time. Tigas ng ulo!!!Pag nalaglag kayo, kuba kayo forever. Hala, babA!

Me, carrying this goat, really cuddly. Just wishing to have a farm like this one day.

Jessica and James busy working, feeding the animals
