Easter Weekend...

Well, Spring is well and truly with us. It is Easter weekend and the weather is lovely and sunny. The kids seem to be as healthy as they have been for a long time, which definitely makes this easier for us, although there is still the odd moment when things get hairy. But this period of relative calm allows me to look at other things in my life that get sidelined when being a parent takes up all of my time.

Liverpool are having a great run in Europe at the moment. They managed to get past Barcelona in the previous round and they played PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday in the first leg of the quarter-final and won 3-0 away from home. In the Premiership they are currently in third place and had a great win against Arsenal last weekend... so things are good at the moment on the football front.

England are not doing quite so well in the Cricket World Cup. Although they were very close to beating one of the tournament favourites, Sri Lanka, in their last match. Hopefully England's form will continue to improve and they can get some positive results in the rest of the Super Eight matches.

Marla is still working hard on her Masters project. She goes in to work often on the weekends to work on it, which is hard for her - but hopefully when it's all over it will be well worth it.

Well, hopefully we will be able to enjoy the Easter weekend and the good weather that is forecast. I'll leave you with a couple of rather splendid photos:
