No big news yet, another happy weekend at the Challis-Palace. On Saturday we popped back to Ikea to get some photo frames and found a cat mask too, so Fidget can really be either a cat or a bear at Halloween. We picked up a new digibox with hard disk recorder, which is very exciting so there is no chance now I will miss any strictly!!! On Sunday our neighbours came round for Sunday lunch, M cooked a chicken with roast veg, mash, red cabbage, runner beans and gravy (though the gravy was tasty, he is intending to work on the look of the gravy next time as lumpy wasn't the word!!). It was really tasty and lovely to have our neighbours round with their two girls I and Y. Fidget plays really nicely with them. I and Y like dressing up, so in the morning I had toured round the house pulling together some bits and pieces that would interest them all, including hats, bags, a tiara, masks, and some princess dresses with potential. During this process I pulled out a dress that M had brought Fidget back from China, she wanted it on and it looked lovely on her...

On Monday, M was off work again (still on his 4 day week), we didn't get up to much, but did pick the rest of the chillies that I had grown this year to pickle them.

I am fairly proud of the haul...

During the afternoon, M managed to get some video of Fidget singing...

After getting her t-shirt damp, Fidget didn't waste a chance to get her Chinese princess dress back on...
