Hiya. So I appear to have lost my husband to the weird virtual world that is 'Second Life'. This is an online world with literally millions of people logged on and they all interact with each other. You create an avatar, or character, and go flying around cities exploring cool stuff. It is very freaky but I can see how it could be very very addictive. I spent about an hour tweaking Nicks characters face to make it look like him.

I had to go to a work do last night for one of our local advocates firms. Wasn't as boring as last year, but that could be cos I decided to drink lots of wine this time around. There were nibbles.

Also this week we went to our friends Sue & Laurie's gorgeous cottage out on the west coast for a meal. She has this hot plate thing made of stone that you put in the middle of the table and then you chuck meat & fish on it. It has a grill underneath and you each have a tiny frying pan that we loaded with cheese and put under, It was great fun, although very messy and there were a few plate smashes/drink spillages by the end of the night! It got quite hot though and we had to open all the windows as we sat around the table.

Nick is away this weekend as he is up for another RTS award. He won one last year and this time around he is up in a different category which is the documentary one. It would be awesome if he won it! While he is away I have a Wii night planned round at a mates, I have never been on a Wii and am very excited. I also am going around to my Dad's for tea on Sunday and we are going to get out loads of old photos and have a laugh looking through them.

My sister's little twins, Rowan & Ralph, have not been very well and had to go into hospital : (
They have had this nasty brochalitis thing which makes it hard to breathe and because they were not eating they had to be monitored and fed by a drip. Poor things. Rowan is back at home now but Ralphie is still in. Suz is staying with Ralphie and sleeping at the hospital while Si as at home with Row. Poor Simon has a food poisoning so they are all under the weather. I so wish I was there to help! I wish they lived closer.

Well, that's all I can think of to write for now, hope you are all well my blogging chums! xxx
