Monday, February 8

Should have blogged before probably, even if just to say I'm not dead (because I'm not - I survived my talk!). Apparently I appeared 'very relaxed', which is remarkable since I was shaking. Maybe I pulled off the Michael J Fox trick of constantly moving to hide it. :)

Lots has happened since I last blogged. Last weekend we went to Fosse Meadows, which was muddy, cold and not terribly exciting. Probably a good place to see birds at a different time of year but the walk itself is not that thrilling.

Had a busy week at work but made it through to Friday... and the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain! Mum and Dad came to visit and we all went to DeMontfort Hall to see them. I think it was a better (more intimate) setting at the Ashby Folk Festival (when we saw them last) but it was cool seeing them in a big sold-out venue. They did quite a few songs I hadn't heard them do before. And a few that I've heard lots of times. They're so talented, at both the ukulele and singing, and so funny. Hooray!

Saturday Mum, Dad and I went to Newarke Houses Museum. It was good (recently redisplayed), but they could have said a bit more about the building itself. The Wygston Chantry House (which forms part of it) is (apparently) the only surviving Elizabethan urban gentry house in Leicestershire. Then we went into St Mary de Castro church. I'd never been in there before. The gentleman on duty there talked to us at some length about it. :)

Sunday we had a dedication service at church (sort of non-Anglican christening) and then Rob, Ali, Mat and I went to Steam Toys in Action. Mum and Dad were doing pop-pop boats there. We looked at lots of things, ate cake, drank tea, and generally had a good time. Hooray!

Mum and Dad went home this morning. They made it, despite the snow. Not that it has settled anyway. Seem chilly but it's not freezing. Ah... winter... ;)
