Kelson is falling down!

Well it's been very rainy here and it's caused real trouble in our wee hillside suburb.


A major landslide on Monday night meant 4 homes had to be evacuated, with one house hanging off the edge. Tuesday saw more rain, and more chunks falling down, then today they actually pulled the house down )-: It's so sad for those people who have just lost thier home. They were able to go back in and get some of thier belongings though, but not from the lounge as that part of the house was in midair. I saw the demolition on TV and you could see thier pictures on the walls, books on the shelf...

There's been heaps of slips in the last couple of years, but this is just a bit too close for comfort! I think we'll be OK though (fingers crossed)

We're going on holiday!

Look out London, Scotland, France & Majorca!

Woohoo we're going on a big trip! Jack and I are flying over to London with Mum on 26 Ocotber. We'll head down to Majorca for a week - meanwhile Stuart will have arrived in Scotland - then Jack and I will go up to meet him and see all the places Stuart used to haunt and all his friends and rellies. After a week or so in Scotland, we'll all head back to London for the rest of the holiday - which will include a weekend in France!! So that's 4 weeks away for Jack & I, and 3 for Stuart. It was originally just going to be Jack & I but we all couldn't bear to be apart for so long! We can't wait!!

Change tables are for climbing on

I think he'll be climbing out of his cot soon....

Here's a spaghetti face! Open wide....


Jack got his first molar today! They have been threatening to erupt for some time and causing him some bother I'm sure. His poor gums look pretty tender - so hopefully this is the beginning of the end of teething (somehow I think it will be a while yet tho) That brings the grand total of teeth to... 9!
And since he's got a sore mouth Jack thought he might just slip on the back steps and cut his top lip )-: AND give Mummy a heart attack in the process. However, just a graze and no stitches required, phew. After dropping a rolling pin on his foot and rolling his head into the hearth, it made for a bad week... Jack got to have his first popsicle though which he LOVED! (for about 5 minutes anyway then he just tried to chew the stick).
