I didn’t blog last night, and nearly didn’t tonight! Hannah was having her sleepover, the little girls slept until very late in the car on the way home from town and were bouncing off the walls until nearly 10pm, by which time we were all exhausted and simply went to bed. I am much the same tonight, however I have persevered and at least washed the dishes and am catch-up-blogging!
The Food and Wine Festival was great fun for Kim and K, despite being pretty late by the time we finally got to town. They got to try and buy some lovely wines and K really enjoyed the olives at one of the stalls as well. They were pretty, um, rowdy by the time I picked them up lol! We saw the police set up to breathalise as we left town, and as he had noone pulled over, I assumed he wanted me to. He said to us that everyone was giving themselves up! Kim then apologised to him for speeding through a temporary speed zone a month ago when they were having a drink-driving blitz, he hadn’t seen the signs. The fellow told him it was fine, looked at them, looked at the kids in the back, looked at me and told me not to worry about the breath test LOL!
The kids and I had a great time at Kati’s baby shower, I won a block of chocolate for guessing her girth – I got it exactly! 114cm, for the record 
She had guesses from 98 to 186cm ROFL! I took a kilo of cherries just in case there wasn’t anything for the girls to eat, even though we’d just had lunch, but Kati had made gluten free cupcakes, which were very nice despite the PINK and BLUE icing on top, which Beth decided couldn’t possbily be food, at first!
Today we had a bit of a slow start, but got to town eventually. Hannah decided to stay at her friend’s house while we went to the markets (after Kim had checked their pony’s hoof, which we had run out of time to do on Saturday). The markets were a bit of a disappointment, there wasn’t much there really. There was a woman with some very nice looking cupcakes, and she did make gluten free ones, but she had sold all of them already. I have her fridge magnet somewhere, just in case I ever get stuck and have more money than time
Got stuff all done today, really, apart from getting the kitchen tidied up towards the end of the day and making the nicest stir fry I’ve made so far! I got the sweet elements right, not too much chilli, chicken a bit over cooked but OK, it was just really really nice. Which was very good because K had never eaten anything like it before – she’d never had rice noodles!
I’ve got my second load of washing on for tonight, need to head off to bed by midnight so I have at least a chance of getting up to run in the morning. Need to put the iPod on the charger! I’ve been trying to download the Hamish and Andy podcast from Friday all day, but it keeps failing. I think because it’s taking too long with the internet being shaped 
Only 3 more days. That’s also the deadline to pay the rest of our holiday accommodation! Crikey! Best get onto that too
Night all *waves*
