Home and Away

Our lovely friends

We moved 2 weeks ago and are still surrounded by boxes, ( some of them have been packed for 3 years)! However all is well, apart from the oven doesn't work and the washing machine is a tad touchy. Oh and water from the shower leaked through the kitchen ceiling yesterday,( now I know why the kitchen lights keep flickering) and the new bathroom doesn't arrive for another week... But it is lovely to be in our own place at last and to be able to choose the way we want things. Today I forgot the oven didn't work and bought vegetables to roast, oh well.... Last weekend we went to a bit of a 'do' in Bournemouth, (on the south coast) and had a whale of a time with some friends from Norfolk and Sussex, we stayed 2 nights in an hotel on the seafront and it was beautiful. We even managed drinks on the balcony at sunset ! I made my first ever speech and even made my audience laugh, I quite enjoyed it actually and wasn't nervous at all. I really must be getting old..... The girls singing was far better than the guys who were all far to drunk!!

Mark sang with the band though, completely unrehearsed, and I was so proud of him, he was brilliant.
