just hanging out in Cambridge...

We have been hanging around Cambridge since Carcassonne - some trips to local attractions but nothing too strenuous. J has still not been all that well. Weather is warming up and we have had some lovely sunny days - mornings mostly and rain in the afternoon. Big M and I have started playing Tennis on the way to work. There is a free tennis court next to the bike path. J and little m have also had a bit of hit with us after school.
The long awaited panda jumper has arrived special delivery from Tasmania - it is a big hit and little m has hardly been out of it since! The little flashy badge things and chocolates also went down well, although the badges were a bit of an intelligence test for dad to get them working.

J has been growing his hair and still likes to engage in a bit of body art. Hope he doesnt to decide to cover himself in tattoos later.

There is an old cat over the road with 1 eye and 3 legs that likes to stop and chat, which the kids think is fantastic. They miss 'their' cat from the Eltisley Avenue place, although we do still see her around from time to time. This old ginger cat looks just like Old Tom, a character from a cartoon at home and the kids also have some Old Tom books so they are very pleased to finally meet Old Tom.

Last weekend we all went to the guitar shop. J and I bought the electric guitar to share until we get home to Tas when he will buy a new one...unless he wont let me have the guitar back in which case I might have to get a new one. For those with an interest is a Les Paul style ESP LTD EC-50 with a 15W Roland practice amp. The neighbours are all very happy because we can plug in headphones and they cant hear us practicing (well they cant hear me practicing anyway). Little M fell in love with the 3/4 size steel string acoustic and we had to get that too.


Summer holidays are largely unplanned as yet but we might take the tents to Wales again if weather permits. M is home for the next few weeks but then starts another round of travelling in Europe and US.
