Earthquake!!!

Posted on August 30, 2007

We all woke up around 5:45 this morn­ing. I just fig­ured it was because Squidge was cry­ing. I picked her up and left her in bed w/ Wally. I went down­stairs to make up her morn­ing bot­tle of milk, glanced at the microwave 5:48. Once she was back in her cot drink­ing her milk I started watch­ing the news and aparently there was an earth­quake here in Man­ches­ter at 5:45!! Now I’m not say­ing I felt any­thing and that it was scary because I didn’t and it wasn’t. All I am say­ing is that it’s weird that we all woke up at the exact time the earth­quake happened.

Also wanted to say that I’m miss­ing my friends and fam­ily back in MA. I’m sad that Wendy and I don’t hang out and that our girls won’t be the best of friends. I’m hop­ing that once she’s done with law school we can rent a house on CC dur­ing the sum­mer and spend a week drink­ing, chat­ting, swim­ming, eat­ing and hav­ing a good time. It might never hap­pen but I have dreams of us doing that. I’m a silly fool.





Red House Farm

Today we went to a maize maze and had a really good time. The weather was very nice and Squidge had a great time w/ C-cutie. We had a nice lunch at the farm– except for the wasps that bugged us when Squidges jammy sand­wiches got to the table.

Thanks to B for tak­ing such fab pho­tos! I left my cam­era at home (stooopid) but thank­fully B came to the rescue!!





Formby

Mon­day was a hol­i­day here and I forced Wally to take us to the sea. He looked at me like I was stoned (appar­ently all of Eng­land heads for the sea dur­ing a bank hol­i­day week­end) but off we went in search of a nice beach. We found one in Formby. It had sand dunes and nice sandy beach and we had a blast. It was windy and no way would we go swim­ming because it is Eng­land after all. Squidge had a blast eat­ing sand. And when I say she was eat­ing sand I mean she was eat­ing big fist fulls of sand. YUCK! I kept try­ing to get her stop but finally gave up. She loves the stuff. I’m wait­ing for the sand poos.



My favorite photo– she loves the water and looks like she’s the hap­pi­est lit­tle girl in the world.

I apol­o­gize if this post doesn’t make any sense. It’s 2:30am and I’m exhausted! I’m off to bed now.
