Cant think of a title........

Hiya,

To start where I left off, my weekend in Cardiff for Bart's Birthday was really nice. We went to that funfare on the Saturday and it was really fun. The rides were really exciting..one was so scary it made me feel uncomfortable even. I had thoughts the whole time that I was going to fall out and splatter on the ground below. On the Sunday night, I took him to an Italian Restuarant for his Birthday. He had a spicy pasta and I just had a pizza, much to his disgust, haha. He even said how can you come to an italian restuarant and just have a pizza....but, that's all I felt like at the time to be honest. Wasn't really in the mood for pasta. After we got home, once it had hit 12am...I brought out my surprise birthday cake I had bought him, full of candles spelling "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" . He was really surprised and couldn't believe I had hidden the cake almost all weekend. After he blew out the candles, I went and brought out his pressies. He got a T shirt, a Darth Vadar bobble head (He loves Star Wars) and a funny Farting Champion medal thing. This past weekend in Cardiff was pretty quiet, we didnt get up to much as the weather wasn't too good. I had said earlier in the week how much I was missing moms mac and cheese so Bart said we would make it on the weekend. On Saturday night, he decided we were going to attempt to make it, so we went shopping for some things and got home to try it. Everything went to plan and by the time the sauce was done, it was looking pretty much the same as moms sauce. And once it was served, it looked like moms mac and cheese too. As for the taste, well it was good, but the cheese taste wasn't quite the same, which was to be expected as Mature cheddar cheese is different here than the type we get back home. But all in all, it was a very good meal!! :)

Nothing too exciting going on at work, still the summer timetable, so always lots of naughty kids to kick out the pool every other day. I've finally been booked on my Defib course, so that will be on the 14th of October at my centre, so that should be cool.

At the moment, am really enjoying watching the Olympics, well, the little I do get to see anyway. Its so different everything being from a British point of view, so I didnt get to see any South Africans really, besides a few swimmers. But, we are pretty much nowhere at these games anyway so I guess I didnt miss much.

I put up the newest pictures I have from a few weekends in Cardiff....Enjoy!!

Anyway, time to go enjoy the sun on my day off...while it lasts! Will write again soon.
