''it's been along time since we rock-and-roll'd...''

...but boy, havn't we been busy again in our trans-cultural household...since the last entry made on 27th June, the following has happened..
1) T and I have celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary ('wood' for those of you out there, still interested to ask!)..our first few anniversaries involved romantic wekends, champagne and chocolates...this time it was an indian takeaway and a lack of card from a certain someone (Toti ;-).
2) I have been promoted..today I officially started as ward development manager (Band 7, for you nursey folks). Same ward, same staff, same issues, more hard work!
3) T has got a new job- deputy managers post within a rehabiliation unit run by a registered mental health charity..he awaits his start date and is envious of my quick beginnings..his wages have increased more than mine though!
4) We have all been on holiday to Norfolk on the East Anglin coast..originally we were meant to go to Cornwall but interviews scuppered that and we had to change our plans at the last minute.It was fortuitous really-we had a week of glorious sunshine whilst the rest of the UK (including Cornwall) suffered torrential floods. EBB loved being ''on 'oliday..in car-van''. We all did. And J made so many great pals, especially Adam-we hope to see you real soon.
5) I had a night out in Mcr, salsa-ing with the 'old' (no pun intended) girls from work..it was great and it was fab to see you all :-)..couldn't salsa though..sorry Erika!!
And still to come...
1) J reaching the big 1-0 on Friday..how time flies. We love him to bits and are so proud of what he has achieved this year, especially this year after his rough time in Iceland. But as one of T's clients said today..''ahh, yes! 2 is a wonderful age..at 10 they just think they are 20...believing they know everything..in fact knowing nothing!!! ;-). '' We love you loads soon-to-be Birthday Boy (and baby brother).
...So, all this and we still had J's success at sports day, the unexpected loss of Amma Sigga (R.I.P), EBB's language skills improving by the day, my having to move my aunt and uncle to another residental home together with sell their house etc, J starting to wear braces (you have been fab, Jolly-One), Grandmum and Pops loving their recent trip to Iceland..ohh! the list is endless...
..it may have been a long time since we rock-and-roll'd..but we just havn't got the time to do such things!!!
Love, Peace and Kind Thoughts to one and all from us all....
Best Summer Wishes From J,T,J and E xxx
