News from Sutton

Well, Lauren finally finished the last of her A-levels last Thursday, so there's a big sigh of relief all round! Then on Friday she took her driving test ... and passed - yeah! Of course it's a well-documented fact that all the best people pass 2nd time, 1st time is just lucky (-;

Also, Elena and some of her school mates who are doing their Duke of Edinburgh Award went on their 2 day, self-navigated walk. Obviously, this involves an overnight camp and carrying all your own stuff round with you so it's all a bit of a challenge (which is the idea really!). How some of them coped 48hrs without GHD hair straighteners, I don't know!

I guess the next big (ish) event is my birthday on Friday (see side bar for other dates), hope to be going out for a couple of beers possibly followed by a curry. Haven't done that particular combination for a while! Last weekend was a friend's 50th birthday party which turned out a good night. The weather held out well and we all stayed outside right up to the end in the early hours. The guy doing the music (another friend) was showing us his pretty impressive DJ set-up. It's all very PC-based nowadays, no more 'wheels of steel'! We even indulged in a bit of karaoke (well, some us did!), the great thing about having all these tracks on disk as opposed to the 'ole CDs is that would-be crooners have got 100,000s of tracks to choose from at the click of a mouse.

Well, I'm just off out now on taxi duty (I don't mind really, when it's *your* kids coming home on their own!) so I'll speak to you's all later.

Some Holiday Snaps

Looks like it was OK for the BBQ, then? We had a game of tennis that morning and got pretty warm, I must say.
