I took the Bloke for dinner to the local pub it was quite inpromptu since we hardly ever get rid of ALL kids and suddenly this night we did, BUT I was sooooo tired after doing a study group with three friends 11.30am till 5.30pm that I couldn’t be bothered going out, so we went for dinner and then home for a DVD.. not that kind of DVD either!!!

The next day I took the Bloke and young star son to the museum as the second part of the date but the exhibition we wanted to see.. the line was out the door.. “A day in Pompeii” so we’ll go back another time, instead we spent a lovely winter’s afternoon wandering around the gardens nearby and had a picnic lunch of fish n chips..
