Lets imagine my iPhone didn’t slip out of it’s case on the weekend. And that it didn’t shatter and die and that I posted lots of lovely photos here. Instead I have nothing except another job for the week in sorting out insurance and a replacement. A bit of a fag too because Tom’s been away all weekend so I can’t text him greetings and updates.

[…] my dear friend Emma. Call this a blog post ‘of two halves’ – the words are on Emma’s blog (go HERE if you want to read about what we did) and the photographs are on my […]
This makes me look very lazy…I did not much at all over the weekend, yours looks so much more fun! I did order some new Thunderpants ( blue blossom design) online though, and got them in the post this morning..yay! Seems we have done similar there.
New Thunderpants are the best aren’t they? I got bunnies, artichokes and a hearts pattern that I hadn’t seen before. I don’t think I saw the blue blossom ones in store.
sounds like the best weekend ever. esp the lunch with me! haha kidding. i sure loved it though.
Lovely!!
