Another crammed week here - brace yourselves.... or flick to the end for the joke... Last Saturday I spent a fabulous day with Peter shopping for a hedge for his front garden - as you do - it was nice to be spending someone else's money for a change - anyway, that evening we had a lunar eclipse here in UK - and we had a great view from St. Irchley - a freezing cold clear night.....I spotted it starting - and whipped the duvet off the bed and we sat ourselves on the bench in the garden snuggled up underneath it - and had one of those 'once in a lifetime moments' together - and out of the (what can sometimes only be described as...) harsh daylight, and under the moonlight, (especially when it was fully obscured) I think he finally realised that I am indeed absolutely ravishing - he's taken his time, but coupled with the fact that he's way overdue for a Specsavers appointment - I was in the right place at the right time :-) ... which was probably more convenience for him? Start placing your bets.........
Then on Sunday to make the weekend complete, Sue (my rambler buddy) came round for a girlie afternoon, consuming lots of tea and a rather decadent piece of Sue's home made chocolate cake - whilst covering a broad range of contemporary topics such as men, thongs versus Bridget's in hill walking, men, mad cow knickers from Dorothy Perkins and men..... this is what weekends are all about!
On Tuesday Me n Peter had another 'nice' moment - went to see Einaudi at Symphony Hall - really unique haunting music from his new album Divenire - and we met up briefly with Rob, Issie Alex & Flips afterwards - all of us eulogising over his synthesiser... as you do.
On Wednesday me and Sue went to see Hot Fuzz - if you haven't been - don't bother - few titters but pretty dull really - unlike the meal afterwards in Chiquita's in Rubery - which was far from dull - again if you haven't been don't bother - they had no heating - and apparently hadn't had any all week? People were sat in their coats - I've never seen so many 'sizzling dishes being ordered with people warming their hands over them on the tables! The pecan pie came with an 8" long blonde hair - which was a nice finishing touch I thought!
Yesterday, I learned that I am officially getting old - I went to Specsavers - and have got to have a pair of glasses for driving and a separate pair for close work :-O. I've ordered pink ones for driving to match the car - so I wont get them mixed up - I refused to have bifocals - that's just a step too far at the moment :-)
Last night I took mom to see her fave Lenny Henry - he was excellent - you feel like you're sitting in his front room and find yourself answering his questions and nodding away and laughing as if he's asked YOU personally - brilliant!
Mrs Speich e-
mailed me to say the wedding cake - cum house moving cake tasted as
good as it looked - always a relief - and that she and her new husband ate the top of the cake - which as you will see is a 'house', and themselves and horses and gyrocopter in a rather unique ceremony in their new house once they got the keys - it does say in the pagan world, that part of releasing the past and moving ahead is to perform a simple ritual - and this was theirs :-)Have a great weekend folks - welcome back to LASR of the Lakes :-)
Tomorrow, me and Peter are off on a roofing expedition - I am going to be his 'Anneka Rice' and we are going to rustle up a conservatory roof in an afternoon :-) - I'll see if I can get some shots for the Blog :-) He knows how to treat a woman eh?
