Photo a Day : 30 May 2012

30 May 2012

As I type this post, Hugh is out having a drink with his friends to celebrate becoming a qualified Personal Trainer.  He's had an interest in fitness for a little while now and had gradually been researching stuff on the internet and building a training programme for himself.  The more he got in to it, the more he realised this was something he would like to do professionally.

Over the past 6 weeks he has studied like I have never seen him study before.  It has been intense and, I think at times exhausting, but he has loved it and  he has learnt so much. Today he had his final assessment and passed. He is now keen to get started, keen to build up a client base and keen to do and teach something that he really enjoys.  We're really pleased for him and super proud!

Well done, Hugh!

 I also need to say thank you to him for letting me take his photo this evening. He was tired  and felt he wasn't looking his best but he humoured me :)

I took Claire to the Princess Royal hospital for blood tests yesterday. Alice fell asleep on the way there so I sat in the car with her while Claire went in.

A self portrait (unfortunately not in focus!) Another day where it got up to 28C and I was able to sit outside to eat my lunch.

 My niece, Theresa, brought Alyssa and a little girl she looks after round to play with Alice in the morning.  Alice was so excited when I told her Alyssa was coming and apparently Alyssa felt the same about coming to see Alice :).  I can see that these two little girls could become good friends as they get older.  One of the few things I sometimes think we missed out on by growing up in South Africa was the fact that we never got to know our cousins very well.  I'm really hoping that Alice will enjoy having family around her as she grows up.
