Elmo from Sesame Street asked everyone yesterday “How is everyone doing?” not realising how many people would respond with; not very well!  If a person had asked us that question, we would all probably have said “fine, bit tired and fed up with the weather but okay” when in fact we probably wanted to say “no we are not fine, it is January, there seems to have been twelve weeks in January, I still haven’t been paid and I am so tired of all the bad news”!!!!!!!!!!!

I am definitely fed up with our weather, cold, grey and more rain; I am definitely fed up with the news and all the doomsayers of another World War; I am definitely fed up with swimming at the moment; I am definitely fed up with ALL political parties; I am definitely fed up with one of the companies we work with and a million other little things! 

So we have turned the first page of the calendar and it is now February, I hope it is going to be a bit better! 

This was yesterday morning sunrise and a frosty morning, it did not stay like this for long, it was soon grey and raining!

Things are moving along with Eldest, Partner and their baby.  At the moment it is the third week of February but they are keeping an eye on things, so anytime from now until then!!  They have everything ready; the nursery is done, bag for the hospital is packed and car seat ready.  We have been getting them some things of course and this was my latest purchase.

Isn’t he cute?  and is quite big!  He will be put on the shelf for when Baby is a bit bigger!  At the moment Teddy is on the top shelf of my desk out of someone’s way!  Coco thought it was for her, nope!!!!!

It’s Friday tomorrow!  Yeah.  Although DH is out tomorrow evening setting up the swimming announcing system and then there all weekend.  Next week he is away all week at a business exhibition and then when he gets back on Friday repeats the whole set up and weekend event again!  I am quite glad when these two weekends and this exhibition are over!  Then Youngest will be away with the older swimmers in Lanzrote.  I do so wish I would be going as well!!!  Of course we may be busy by then!  Before we know it, it will be the end of February!  When I was little I always thought that February was a realllllllly long month, although of course it is the shortest.  Not this year of course as it is a Leap Year.

Happy Thursday you lovely lot. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
