Had a big night out last night with some new friends.
I got just a little bit disgraceful. We were drinking snakebites (cocktail of beer, cider and blackcurrant cordial) in the end. Never a good idea. But man it was fun.
Feeling quite a bit sorry for ourselves today. We'd planned to go to a kite festival, so we navigated the multitude of tube lines that had cancellations to eventually get there. Ended up being a really good day. It was the first day we have really relaxed and got out and had some fresh air. Ended up playing a bit of frisbee.
The kiddies had a competition where you could decorate your own kite and go in the running to win a family trip to Dubai (WTF? What happened to a free t-shirt or something?) There were only about 8 entrants, so you had pretty good odds if you were one of the kids.
The MC was dragging it on, adding to the suspense of announcing the winner. It was driving the kids nuts. You could tell there were gonna be tears, the kids were really keyed up to win. Sure enough, when this gorgeous little 4 year old won (who could not have possibly decorated her kite herself, we think the yummy mummy tagging along might have had a bit more to do with it) there were tears all round. I was killing myself laughing as these kids are bawling "It's noooooot faaaaaaaaiiiir!" What a cack.
Suck it up kiddies. Welcome to the real world.
I'm now off to play with my new Nintendo which arrived this morning.
p.s. heaps more photies added
