Hello...
Will try to add a few updates to our blog while we are away...
Our flights to the UK went really well, Orla was a star! Didn't sleep much to Dubai (10.5h flight)...spent her time watching movies, eating, the odd visit to the very interesting toilet etc! She didn't last long from Dubai to London so got about 5hrs sleep in that 6.5h flight.
We arrived Friday night local time and Farmor & Farfar picked us up from Gatwick. Orla was awake late, I crashed before her!
Sat lunch and afternoon we spent at Fi & Gus together with Helen, Mog & Mark and all the kids. Said hello to Amy and family too!
In the evening we had a lovely dinner at the Woolleys...sadly Orla slept through the whole thing!
On Sun we had lunch and a sunny afternoon at the Gardiners with aunties Judi and Jill, uncle Tim, uncle David, Jo, Nicky, Nora and Howell, Mog plus 2 and us.
Monday my body gave in to a temperature and the start of a sore throat...had to canel Worthing visit (sorry Fia and Freya and Maria) - still managed to pop over to the Tiger in East Dean to say hi to Michele, Laurence, Henry, Jane, Terry, Hayley and all of their not so little ones. That was lovely too!
Tuesday I somehow walked through town to get a little bit of shopping done followed by lunch with Nicky and Tracy. Also squeezed in a visit to Mog & Mark's lovely new house!
Then we packed ready for our departure on Wed am from Gatwick to Gothenburg. Orla fell asleep just as we landed!
Was greeted by my parents and my aunt Ullbritt and uncle Anders!
Thursday am I got a dr's appointment when my throat infection was confirmed so I am now on 10 days of antibiotics. Worse than that are the giant cold sores that I have acquired with it all...shows it's all been a bit too much I guess. I hate them!!!
Thursday afternoon and evening was spent at Pernilla and Thomas' summer house (formerly Birgit's place) - it was a perfect day and evening, including a swim in lake Tolken followed by a bbq. We were lucky with the weather as today Friday it has been raining for most of the day. Perfect for resting and some waffles at Birgit's flat (I had never been there before).
Orla nodded off at 4.30pm...she hasn't surfaced...think I'll have an early night too! Slowly catching up on the phone with friends and hope to catch a few next week.
Right that's us for now!
Sean is ok after 1 week without his girls...! Give him a call if you are in Perth! There are still a few fishfingers left!
