Hi Friday peops
Maybe Friday 13th wasn't such a clever date for going to the dentist - not too bad though - have had bottom deck front teeth built up - that's exciting isn't it? I'm a bit scared about eating anything hard now for a while as they could shoot off at any time apparently..... so I'm having Haggis tonight - think that's sloppy enough to suck between my teeth? Bumped into a fellow TGIFer in there - who was having bigger stuff than me done - so hope U R OK Gilly?
Last weekend's birthday celebrations started Fri. at Sharpie & Junie's - spoilt rotten in the eve - then after champers breakfast/cake & candles - left for home :-)
Sat.eve - with Sue - free tickets to 'Taste of Birmingham' (thanks Sharpie/Junie x)... - sadly after only one good sausage experience (duck) - from the Hyatt - yes sausages again folks - they do keep cropping up don't they? we then tried the steak from the Hotel du Vin - sadly we cut through the bamboo plate first :-O... and then the final straw came when we chose Jonathon's for the 'sweet experience' as it described the rich chocolate sauce over a raspberry and strawberry meringue.... ;-? ......well, Sue had no meringue - and our rich chocolate sauce was flaked chocolate in double cream?! So we walked back to the Bengal Chaa for a real Taste of Birmingham! They're having a laaaarf!!!!
Sun. - nice fruitful chilled gardening moment - hacked the bushes back - three bags full - how do I manage that with such a small gravelled garden? Alex flew off to Oz today so I waved at the clouds at 2pm - the neighbours get used to it! Then lit my chiminea in the evening and watched the sun set on my birthday weekend.
Mon. eve - Sue came round and we tested an olive and rosemary (fresh from Sue's garden) muffin recipe out from my birthday book from New Zealand - thanks Griggsies :-) and I delivered hot muffins to the neighbours, mom and dad and Sue - as she had to leave half way through the cooking to go to Weight Watchers :-D
Tues. eve was officially the end of the five day birthday fest - me n Sue went to the SPICE Champagne tasting at the MAC - Dave and Caron were there - they are TGIFers - newly wed - so rarely have time to open my TGIFs - you know how it is ;-) .... We had a lovely New Zealand sparkling wine - Hunter's Miru Miru - so we had the New Zealand muffins with it - and toasted you Kiwi's! Dave offered us a lift home - which was nice - but picture three tiddly girlies sat in the back of a very nice Jagwaaaar - trying to direct him the easiest route to drop us all off sequentially - poor Dave - he wont be offering again in a hurry :-D
And now a special mention to two pals who have had a pooh week - and let's all sing... thiiiings can only get beeettteeeer! Lisa all excited about moving into her new house in Stockport last Friday found the bloke still in there when she got there - plus a gas leak which he hadn't owned up to - and tho he apparently was on his way out... fair enough - he left behind every stick of furniture - even his bedding and toothbrush! Yuk! Three skips to take it all away! So then she moved into her aunt's temporarily and blew up her aunt's fridge freezer - oops - hope this weekend is better sweetie. Jenny has had a bad week too - tho it started so well last weekend with her being wooed by a Jump Jet pilot (as you do...) and picking up her new second hand car........yesterday it rolled down the hill (without her in it!) handbrake had failed, so Jen on discovering this sensibly parked it at the bottom until she could get it sorted - and a lorry driver then reversed into it - writing it off (and the car next to it too!) so Jen hope you're feeling better now?
I'm off now - supposed to be walking on Sunday - and guess what - yes - more rain......
Hope you are all well and happy....Kimmie x
Couple of jokes for Jen:
One day a blonde was in a car accident. Nobody was harmed, and she was still able to put on lipstick.
An officer comes by and asked what happened.
The blonde said "It was the weirdest thing. I was driving down the road when a tree popped out of nowhere, so I swerved to the left then another tree popped out of nowhere so I swerved to the right then another..."
Before she could finish the officer interrupted her and said "There isn't a tree here for a hundred miles, and ma'am, that was your air freshener swinging back and forth!"
A blonde was trying to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems selling it, because the car had almost 230,000 miles on it.One day, she told her problem to a brunette she worked with at a salon.
The brunette told her, "There is a possibility to make the car easier to sell, but it's not legal.""That doesn't matter," replied the blonde, "if I can only sell the car.""Okay," said the brunette. "Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and he will 'fix it'. Then you shouldn't have a problem anymore trying to sell your car."
The following weekend, the blonde made the trip to the mechanic.
About one month after that, the brunette asked the blonde, "Did you sell your car?"
"No," replied the blonde, "Why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on it!"
