The Light Side

This morning we attended a Remembrance service in the village. The Guides were in attendance with Julia and I (as a parish councillor should have been there in official capacity but didn't realise, so stood at the back).



We had a quick lunch then rushed to Bournemouth to have a look round the shops before our photo viewing session. We've had some professional photos done in a studio and went along to review the photos and decide which ones we wanted to buy. It took over an hour for us to decide but we got there in the end. It was great to have so many good ones to chose from.



Then some more shopping in Bournemouth and home for tea.

Halloween was an eventful day for us this year. Julia's car which broke down the night before started again and I managed to drive it to the garage (although it broken down again on the garage forecourt). My son forgot to take some money for bus fare so couldn't get a bus home from Study Club - unfortunately with all the road works (the main Sandford road is shut this week) getting anywhere near Wareham is near on impossible around 16:30 which is when he rung us to pick him up; so he went to our friends Leslie and Andy, so that Leslie could bring him across to home on her way to helping Julia with Guides. Unfortunately Andy has toothache so she ended up not going to Guides. Only having one car put paid to my son and I seeing the pre-release of 30 Days of Night (a zombie movie), so we stayed in a watched part of a horror movie at home once I'd picked him up from Andy and Leslie's.

No trick or treaters this year, so the Halloween fun was left to the Guides who all dressed up, including Julia.

Julia and my daughter returned from their Guide's camp Thursday. They endured high winds and torrential rain but they survived! They spent most of yesterday sleeping, getting over it.

Having been at home all on my own for the week it's lovely to have them home
