meanwhile, back in athens

for some reason pictures from Athens seem to be floating to the top of my still-to-post folder.

here’s a wild greek dog .  they are everywhere.  a few even jumped up and barked at me.  i didn’t like that.

kezia’s birthday party

20080127-080127_350d_img_0992.jpg

it was kezia’s birthday party yesterday and i’m exhausted.

about the only think i had to do was to cut this banner so it would fit on two lines.  of course i chopped it at the wrong bit and we ended up with ‘happy birth’ on the second line.  ooops.

for the first time ever with our girls we got an entertainer in (as we weren’t sure if our house would be up to the job this year – in fact it was, but hey ho).

20080127-080127_350d_img_1139.jpg

the entertainer chap was very good and at one point got the kids to wrap jane and tanya up (it was going to be me, but jane kindly took my place).

big shout out (as they say) to jane’s mum, tanya and julie for their massive helpage too.

geocaching

yesterday we went for a 4 hour walk on the ridgeway.  we didn’t expect it to take that long.

of course, it was all down to geocaching.  we found 13 yesterday

080126_350d_img_0940-2.jpg

i think we walked about 12km up and down hills, and kezia only needed two short carries.
