Playing catch-up again...

OK. Time to update the old blog. My posts are becoming fewer and further between. I do have a legitimate excuse this month though. The twins are just now getting over their bout of Chicken Pox (does that need to be capitalised?). It started two weeks ago when Morgan was sick in the night, that then turned into the whiney clingy phase, which eventually transformed into the spotty "pox" phase. I have to say it has been one of the more challenging periods we've had since the kids were born. They have been out of nursery for much of the time so I have been at home with them far more than usual, and coupled with a random attack of impetigo (still don't know how to spell that), which meant they were both on anti-biotics, it has been difficult. They both seem to by much better now, but the spots are still around causing a bit of itching for them. Thank goodness we'll only ever have to go through it this one time!

In other news, Paul and Rachael were married what seems like ages ago now. It was only three weeks ago, but blimey, much has happened since then. It was a nice wedding ceremony and a very groovy reception, with Rachael's dad's band providing the music. Jolly good. And congratulations to them for finally tying the knot.

We are continuing to play softball with mixed results although we have won our last two games. The weather continues to be changeable - glorious on Tuesday, but pouring down for much of the rest of the week.

Other things worth mentioning include Liverpool's Champions League loss to AC Milan, 2-1. It was a decent game during which Liverpool may just have been the better team, but they were unable to take the few chances they created. The much anticipated visit from my Flickr friend from Aberdeen three weeks ago was a great success - we showed her and her friend around some of the sights of Bath and had much fun over dinner and a game of Ticket To Ride. Speaking of board games, I am still attending the Frome games club on Thursdays. It is a great way to keep learning new games and I've met some nice (if slightly geeky) people.
