The route
It is a brilliant place to shop as the currency is in British Pounds so we get to save a lot as compared to paying in Euro.
The drive, taken with the Fuji bridge camera
Anyway, the real reason we made the 90 minute drive was to get his belated birthday present.
Hubby’s birthday was actually in January and knowing that it would cost a bomb to buy it in the Republic, he was willing to make a wait. Heheh. Hey, it saved me 150 euros! (Now I am hoping come May I do not have to wait 2 months too) He now has upgraded his camera to a D60 so I now own his old camera. And by the way, all the photos in this blog were taken by the Fuji camera, I think it does the job though.
Whilst we were there, we bought a few baby essentials too. I am now slowly ticking off the list and hopefully come April we should be prepared for the little one’s arrival. With no family support and hubby literally working 24/7 with his on calls, it would not be wise to leave things to the very last minute. I only felt comfortable buying things after reaching 30 weeks and that is why I didn’t bother catching the xmas sales even though I knew we could have saved a whole lot more.
Anyway, back to the trip – that evening I volunteered to drive us home to let him play with his new toy. And here’s the first shot in the car…
A glimpse of my growing belly
We were planning to test the new camera this weekend but the weather forecast is predicting snow and rain. I think it’s best we stay home, nothing beats a good book, warm socks and a mug of hot chocolate. If lucky, I really hope to watch Slumdog after all the good reviews!
This entry is getting way too long, finally I leave you a shot of Pepper lounging at home
Pepper all curled-up
Woiii, you moved and brought the backyard cat along….?!
Hahahaha Elle will be glad..!
Ida, we couldn’t leave the cat behind. Pepper loves your brother too much that she’s constantly looking for his lap! I knew elle would be glad being the animal lover that she is!
i didn’t know u had a cat at home! (eventhough I knew you have been a cat lover for as long as I can remember…)
momster, we’ve had her for more than a year now. Lost her a couple of times and she keeps coming back..hahaha.. we provide her with good food and a comfy bed, that’s why i think! really easy to maintain as she does her litter outside/god knows where….
