Well Matt and Jo Parkins have left us today . i took them to the Airport for their 13 hr flight to new Zealand where they will join Neil and Nat and Dan and Emma. it has been great having them with us a real blessing . they have fitted in really well and got to us all better and some people at joy too. Charlie will definately miss them, they took him for great walks and gave him snacks!!! I had an interesting day yesterday I was driving Mike's car to get serviced when i was approaching green lights at a junction only to see and hear two emergency fire engines steaming through the Red lights at the junction I braked to aviod them only to be rear ended by another car . I was very lucky not to get pushed into the oncoming firetrucks or spun around, Mikes' car performed brilliantly but it did get a bit damaged in the process !!!! Still it's only a car as Mike said, when I let him know whilst he was in Norway!!!! The house is now full of teenagers watching videos as Sam has brought all his school friends home after a PEP rally at school not sure what one of those is but hey !!! He has a day off tommorrow for Veterans day not really sure what that is either, but it seems like remberance day as a public holiday
