The start of March brought an end to my few weeks of being "between jobs", which I utilised rather well with various DIY jobs getting done and started up the biltong making again which was good. Then on the Monday the 4th, I had an early start getting into London for my first day at Thispacerrd spacerBrspaceridge, followed by a fairly hectic first week of learning and onboarding. However on that Thursday, I met up with Lee, Adrian and Harvey at Beer Engine and then at the Ship for a few catch up beers which was good.
On the first weekend, Ellen had PQA in the morning followed by Leo's birthday. And then Sunday was Mother's Day which we had at home in the morning and then up to Holmbush for coffee and cake at Harris & Hoole.
The next week was busy at home with work as well as the flooring in the hallway and kitchen getting fitted. Then that Wednesday was Ellen's birthday so all went for dinner at Marrocco's that evening.
The middle weekend was busy with Ellen's PQA in the morning, Six Nations on the TV in the afternoon, Vee's party on the Sunday morning and then Ellen's party in the afternoon.
The next weekend was rather relaxing, it felt like one of the first weekends in ages where we didn't have a list of house jobs to urgently get done. On the Saturday we had Lorena and Lana over for a bit of the day, and then Sunday was nice and sunny so we got to open the patio doors and kids played outside a bit... in between the scaffolding :) That evening we drove into Hove for ice-cream from Marrocco's on the beach.
This weekend is the Easter long weekend, starting off with a small Easter Egg Hunt for Ian on Friday morning with a few friends from Busy Bees. That afternoon we had drinks over at Tom and Elle's place. Yesterday we had the morning at home and a bit in the garden then headed out to the Marina in the evening for dinner at Five Guys. Today we spent at Wakehurst walking around the gardens and enjoying the Bluey Trail which they have there at the moment.
Still got another day left of the long weekend and the weather isn't too bad, was originally predicted to be wet and miserable. Hopefully get out for a walk along the beach tomorrow if possible :)
