Nadia and David

Tonight was our big staff party. Luis could not make it as he had friends fly in from Ecuador and I had planned on going on my own… But, it was an arcade game themed event and most people had group costumes. I felt a little lost and didn’t want to go own my own as Mario with no Luigi! It was like being in high-school and having no where to sit at lunch. A bit ridiculous really!  So I decided to sit home and sulk.  But, thankfully, Nadia and David had other plans and we had a nice night out for dinner. I love having them here!

Bruce Adventures

I would love Bruce to live with us forever.  It has been so lovely having him here for the last ten days.  He just fits right in with our family.  He just accepts the little dramas that happens with no judgement and is so easy and wonderful. But as it happens he has other plans and places to explore. Today he jetted off to look at North Thailand, but hopefully he will return here before he leaves Thailand.  We got a dinner in with Chris and Kerry to gossip about The Bahamas and a night out as a family before he left us.

Nadia New Year

After a week of being back we finally saw Nadia and family.  I usually run in to them every day at school but after three weeks in UK for Christmas they all brought back not only some Cadbury chocolate but also some sickness.  Finally, after all seem on the mend we were able to have them over for dinner.  Before they came though Sebastian was dying to go to Wow Science Park. So me and Bruce spent the morning with him, us learning about Science and him waiting to be lit on fire.  

Nadia's Mum is also here so it was great to catch up with her as well.

 

Hugh’s Birthday

Originally we were going to Phuket to Sunday but I could feel that was too much for Sebastian. He needs some home time.  That also meant we were able to go to Hugh’s ‘family away from family’ 10th birthday party.  It was the first time Sebastian really got to see his buddies so he was very happy.  It was also the first time I had seen any of our neighbour a in 2025.  We played the family version of cards against humanity. Very funny! Kids loved it!

GARWOOD’s!

What a busy time! Usually I need a holiday from a holiday but this is the never ending holiday. Although, sadly combing with work. This Thursday me and Sebastian jetted off again to Phuket to see our Garwood cousins passing through on their way back to Scotland.  Unfortunately they got ill so we only ended up seeing them for one day. But I was so happy we got to do so.  I just don’t think there could be nicer people. Me and Sebastian went to a water park in the morning and then met them in the afternoon for lunch. A shirt but lovely mini break.

Also a quick visit from Emma!

BRUCE!!

Finally after 2.5 years of waiting, Bruce has arrived!  It was almost a surprise, but it did not quite work out that way.  That is better for me, as I honestly do not do well with surprises.  It has been great to reconnect and now trying to convince him that a few months a year of retirement in Asia is a great idea!

After sharing many a wine and beer together, here we are with are alcohol free wine and beer!
