July



Well I think the most important things to happen in July have to have been Lit'lun turning 13! and me turning. . . well ok lets just say my Birthday was at the end of the month! It seems like such a short time ago Lit'lun really was a lit'lun, and in fact from here on in I will call her by a different name, as, even though she is the youngest she is as tall as me now. (number 4) she is our 4th child after all! She broke up for the summer holidays and went to stay with my mum for the first week as my Husbands and my shifts were such that she would have been home alone, and that is just not happening!
One evening during swift water training down at the harbour (with T24) I happened to mention how I would like to go out on the harbour masters launch, not realising that one of the team members was actually the deputy Harbour Master, the following Saturday saw me out for the day with the Harbour Masters team on their RIB's attending their emergencies within the harbour. It was brilliant, I had a great day even if it did start at 8 30 am and my first meal was at 4pm, just like being at work really.
I was asked if I would cover a few of the private ambulance shifts at a horse race meet which I did as its nice to have a bit of extra cash now and again.....or so I thought..... (see August!) and then The Blonde bird and Lou decided that for my Birthday we should go to ladies day at the aforementioned horse race venue, but, not just turn up.....on no, we were to be going in a Limo,.....but not just any Limo, oh no,...... A pink Limo with champagne and all. we had such a good day there was a small group of us went, and what made it extra good was the fact that everybody won some money, but best of all the horses all got to go home, none of them got injured (which is why I don't usually go to the races.)
The following day was my Birthday, My Husband took us including BOTH girls out for the day for a wander, then when we got back the two of us went out for dinner at a quiet country pub/restaurant it was a lovely end to the day and the month.
