TGIF :-) Hearts and Heads Rule!

Hi Friday peops

Did you miss me?

I was up in Patterdale again – gorgeous little village near Ullswater Lake. Had a fab long weekend with the SPICE gang – strode across striding edge - first time I've done Helvellyn since I was a kid! Enjoyed several romantic ‘Ken & Dawn’ moments as they celebrated their engagement – with an amazing special ring – it’s amazing – it’s invisible - see pic :-) Apparently he keeps blowing the ring budget on flasks to make his new fiancée hot drinks for the hills, fleece tops to keep his new fiancée warm and………… :-)

aaaah....

There were bottles of champers hidden in tarns, ‘Last Rolo’ moments on the hills, pre dinner drinkies, and I made them a cake – from the heart – shaped like a heart. I do enjoy my cake making tho it does get a bit sticky in the kitchen! In fact tonight I’ve just steamed my kitchen floor – as I had to have the plumber in today – big leak in the kitchen – and after his ‘head stuck under my sink’ moment he peeled himself off the floor with this sort of slurping cum ripping sound looking to see where the noise was coming from – so I knew I had to do something!

In the week dad had a biopsy taken of his bonce after the hole he’d dug in it didn’t heal very well – it’s the gardener in him I reckon – he will keep digging! Anyway they forgot to stop his warfarin and on Wednesday morning he got up and like a scene from ‘Carrie’ had developed his very own bright red water feature on his bonce – again it’s the gardener in him… and was once again decorating the house – he’s getting quite good at this now!! Naturally by the time we arrived at A & E it had stopped – phew!! I think they were in two minds whether to call in social services as I don’t think mom hid the axe quick enough and her cover story to the paramedics was quite amateur considering she’s such a fan of ‘NCIS’ !:-D Hopefully the mobile phone photos will diminish now it has slowed up – it’s very off putting when you’re in a meeting and a picture of a scab is sent through!! Yes honestly! (Thanbks mom!) Mind you I have to admit I took this shot of him in A & E!

Weds night the ‘Phil Palmer’ groupies went to see him ‘Singin in the Rain’ at the Crescent preceded by rather a lot of pasta and pizza – was great to see the kids - new teacher Nicole again – and catch up with Jenny – the kids actually arrived on time – it’s sort of sad when they grow up and start being grown up isn’t it ;-) …and last night I met up with an old friend from student nurse training days - accompanied by a rather large burger moment in Moseley first! So bit of a bloater tonight…Planning on doing the John Williams night out at Symphony Hall in October if anyone wants to join us?

This weekend I mostly be sleeping!

Have a great weekend folks
