Musical memories…

All the music has had me wandering down memory lane lots today, well I say wandering, mostly I was skipping and dancin’ in that ‘hey I might be overweight, the wrong side of 30 and look more than faintly ridiculous but I still got it’ way that embarassing aunts and mothers dance to Hi Ho Silver Lining at wedding receptions up and down the country every Saturday night during the summer in hired scout huts, town halls and reception rooms in pubs after one too many Babychams. But I shan’t share those memories here, they are far too special to be sniggered at by my more lofty readership 😉

I got all my ebay stuff listed, then started walking round the house casting an appraising eye over every surface looking for things to sell. A couple of cds made it on there and if husbands, children and cats stay still for more than a few moments I am there, ready to whip out the camera and think up a punchy item title for them. 😆 I then nipped out to get barbecue guest supplies, choosing to go to the nearest supermarket which necessitates crossing the railway line. The gates were down there and back which meant the other supermarket would have been loads quicker and probably cheaper but never mind.

Coming home I saw the Thank You Neighbours (who Kirsty and James were very priviledged to actually meet – Lucy has met David too) full of stories and anecdotes about their trip this week to the Isle of Wight and the gifts they selected for Davies and Scarlett’s Christmas presents while they were there :rolls:. Then we set off for Lucy’s. We’d planned to walk, been behind schedule and Ady decided he’d drive after all and ended up being early.

Children had a great time despite D & S taking the baton and S having a whingy few minutes when we first arrived and D having some crazy behaviour which really, really, really annoyed me. Colin cooked loads of lovely food and it was a lovely few hours. Came home and watched X Factor then packed the children off to bed who were both asleep almost instantly – I am even prepared to concede behaviour was due to tiredness much though I loathe that excuse.

No tea for us as we’re still stuffed from bbq food (I called my burger Cheryl and my chicken drumstick Ian) so we’re watching more Simply Red on the Biography channel live in Cuba, which reminds me of the time…
