Oh yeah - another weekend of mixed blessing and smacks in the face.

It started off on Friday - when my digital camera decided it was dead. I had owned it for 12 months and 10 days. How did it know? Bastard thing. I was annoyed because I needed it for the afternoon as it was Rhiannons first Xmass/Nativity thing at school.

So I left work to catch an earlier train than I needed to I could get back to Weston and buy a new one before racing to the school.

Great plan! But let down by the train being buggered and not being fixed til 5mins before the train I would have caught left, which left me enough time to pop into Sainsburys and buy a �4.99 disposable camera instead of going to Argos and buying a new digital one.

But the Xmas play/muscial was brilliant. Rhiannon was an angel "flying like a thunderbolt". She looked as cute as cute can be and did her dance moves perfectly (as far as I could tell). I was sat there with tears in my eyes, a very very proud father who had suddenly realised that his little girl was growing up... Eeek!

Saturday and Sunday were spent visiting Ikea, cleaning and being told my car was knackered. Looks like my head gasket has gone as I have lost compression on 2 cylinders. Should find out later how much it will cost (on the cheap) to get it fixed.

Yesterday evening, Shell and I hosted a dinner party in our new dining room. A roaring success. But loads of leftovers - so we will be dining on pork curry with bubble and squeak for the next couple of days :)
