Strangehaven

More Brioche, that's what I'm going to get, when I've finished this I think?
Have scoffed two so far, but need to get rid of them from the weekend right? so one more can't hurt, and my cuppa tea, is just begging me to go and get one right now! or I suppose I could get a pain au chocolate.....Some friends accidentally left those with us, ummmm which one....I'll be back!

Yummy, pain, that is au chocolate, not pain, as in ouch, funny thing language eh? do you think the English made it pain on purpose?? the pain with chocolate......? drat just dribbled my tea as well, this is not an auspicious start to the morning (mind you nor was dh and dd2 waking up at 5am, at least managed to get dd2 back to sleep) anyway I digress, so what did we get upto this weekend?

Stranghaven http://strange-haven.blogspot.com/ that's what, at the Danelaw Viking Village in York

I think everyone had a good time? as it was the first event ever, its hard to tell, but those that played seemed to enjoy themselves. The crew player ratio was high, which is always nice and the plot went to plan without too much nudging in the right direction or from my view it did!! It was wonderfully warm as well, which is always nice when your living in a mud and straw hut, and I didn't scream once at Spiders above my head :-) in fact I was very good and went to sleep with three of them in plain view :-O

Dh and I did laugh at last nights Dr Who re run when we got home though, they've been copying his time line ideas again!! ( or did he whip it from them? will we ever know?) liked the stone angels though. Imagine lots of very frightened children this weekend. Mummy our fountain is coming to get us!!!! far better than attacking Bassetts sweets any day.

Hmmm 9.15 better get on with updating everyones stat sheets me thinks, and drumming up trade for future events, flyers to write, much crack on!!

The weekend

Well the weekend got divided into four sections really

Sat am I took the kids out to a friends, got two nice cups of coffee and an ear to listening to my whinging about dh working all morning. I know he has to do it, but just wish he'd share the workload a bit, when he could if he wanted to, if you get my drift. He's just rubbish at delegating/letting go of control! arggggghhhhhhhhhhhh she screams.

Sat pm, Strangehaven writers meeting, they assure me this went well, cause I was upto my eyeballs in kids as usual, I love em, but sometimes I wish they'd play happily by themselves you know! still I'm sure they'll grow up too quickly anyway, and then I'll be wishing they were small again. We did get to go out for a nice walk around some local woods (bar the dog muck, people don't do bagging very well round here at all, hurumph) so the woods may get used for the odd smaller event at a weekend!

Sunday am we dashed for a swim, then upto Leeds for ss's birthday. Bowling with the step family, all rather odd, dh said his ex FIL was being nicer to him than when he married his daughter, lol. SS had an ok time we think, bar the middle bit, where he decided he hated bowling? but they did Quasar as well afterwards, so hope he enjoyed it, meal and Dalek cake too.

Got back here and fantastic friend did us a BBQ, so didn't have to faff with food for everyone, love you lots mate!
Shame dd2 had to fall down the step mind and graze her hands, but she's gotta learn, right?
So bed for the little ones, then more work for us!! the joys of self employment.
