Day off!

Today Mark and I decided to have a spontaneous day off work. We had a really lovely day - after dropping Tully at nursery I went back to bed and had a bit more snooze time and then read my book for a while.

Then we went out to lunch at Francs which was really delicious, before trying out the cinema that opened relatively recently in Altrincham for the first time and seeing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

It was a little crazy at times with very bad science which always upsets me (I can't watch most cartoons as the apparent lack of gravity and other bad science drives me insane!) but overall it was quite enjoyable. Jonny has already given it a better review than I could here, and I pretty much agree with everything he says especially the iron fillings and the fridge comments! The only bit I feel I need to add is the annoying sporadic use of magnetism throughout - something theoretically showing magnetic type properties that seems to come and go randomly. Grrr! :)

10 Years!

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of Mark and I getting together. We both kind of forgot about it on the day as since we got married neither of us have done anything to recognise the day. Luckily I have a recurring appointment in my work Outlook Calendar to tell me, so it's lucky I've never got a new job (or at least a job in a new company) otherwise we'd never have known!

Maybe one day we'll go back to Hungary and revisit Budapest, and more specifically Keszthely on Lake Balaton where we got it together after each partaking of a cocktail or 5! :)

Scan

We had the second scan today, and took Tully with us so she could see what it was all about. The baby was in a slightly odd position so they couldn't quite do all the checks they'd normally do but everything they could see was normal.

The one thing they could check was the sex (hurrah - I don't like surprises at all so I'm not sure how I'd have coped if they couldn't tell) and it's a boy! I was very surprised as I was so sure it'd be a girl. I can't see me with a boy somehow but at least Mark will have someone on his side instead of having 3 females nagging him!
