I'm slightly worried that Mr W is becoming obsessed about the dandelions in our lawn - he spent ages the other weekend digging up dandelions and then he was at it again this afternoon. He threatened to do the same with the daisies but I managed to persuade him that may be futile!

This is the moment Mr W arrived home tonight after running back from work. I'm impressed he's still smiling after 2h 40min on his feet and nearly 17 miles added to his weekly tally! Or maybe the smile is just because he can see his tea waiting for him on the side...

Every week our work canteen posts the menu for the forthcoming week in our coffee areas so we know what to expect when we head up there at lunchtime. Tomorrow's main course sounds exciting, but I bet it was a bit tricky to catch!

I thought we were supposed to be in the middle of a recession, however judging by this article in tonight's Standard it appears there are still some people with plenty of money to throw around. Apparently dog parties complete with pup-cakes, doggy bags and party games are all the rage in London at the moment - makes me think there's a word missing from the headline...

Who knew my parents and godmother would take me so literally when I asked if they could clear away the breakfast things and said that everything could go in the dishwasher... :)

Having missed last week because we were on holiday, this evening was my first time back at Brownies since before the summer holidays.  Lots of cute newbies and some who make us chuckle without even trying.  Tonight they were making mosaics with lots of little pieces of coloured paper which reminded Carol of a previous child who in order to pick up pieces of paper from the floor decided to put glue on the bottom of her shoes and run around - it worked apparently but neither the shoes or the carpet were in such a great state afterwards!
