The Buckingham Blog

Look at this. It's me doing a blog on our daily going-ons for a change .

I've been on holiday this week so I don't have an excuse not to do it this time. Not that I try to avoid it but the rest of the family tell these things better than me anyway.

Right, enough waffle....

A busy little week so far. Yesterday started with Julie going to the doctor's to get Krystal checked over again. Her rash on her face still hasn't gone yet and apparently it should have by now. We've now got cream for it which seems to be doing the job so far.

Rather than waiting for them Kory and I went down the supermarket to buy some yummy ingredients for dinner. It's only the second time we've cooked it but we decided to make Mango & Chicken yummy!!

After lunch and the kids had their sleep we headed off down the beach. We thought we'd try and avoid the need to park in the city centre and then have to walk down the beach for this year's fireworks display. Instead we took Kory down to Rambos for an hour to let him have a play and build up an appetite for dinner. 

When his belly did start to rumble we headed off to Jimmy Chung which is a local chinese "All you can eat" buffet. It's the first time we've been to the one down the beach and it was actually quite nice and the range of food was HUGE! We had loads and Kory, although saying he was full-up, managed to polish off 3 tubs of jelly. "1 Red, 1 Green and 1 Orange" as he kept reminding us all night!

Once we were all stuffed we headed back to the car to get all wrapped up for the fireworks display. 

In case you don't know everyone in Aberdeen goes to a large field just at the side of the Amusements.

 
We didn't tell Kory but we had a surprise for him...Glow Sticks. Here's a wee picture of Julie and him with them. He was chuffed to bits!

The fireworks were slightly late in starting but once they did start they were actually quite good for Aberdeen. Usually they're rubbish! The rain stayed away long enough as well which was good.

Kory was a bit scaried of the noise but even with his head buried in my shoulder he still couldn't help but watch them. Krystal slept through the whole thing until the very end. Typically when we had to head home  .

The kids were completely knackered by the time we did get back though and Kory actually did seem to enjoy himself. He's still going on about it today and pretending to be a firework hehe.

Anyway it's getting late and I've gone on long enough.
