Another one of those hectic weeks! So hectic, that I’ve had little chance to blog! I finally got my hair cut on Friday, after sojourning due to the closure of my regular barber. A work colleague suggested a barber near to my work premises, so I thought I’d give it a try. All my friends say it’s a vast improvement and looks so much better, so I guess the barber gets a thumbs up. 🙂 (Either that, or my friends aren’t telling me what they really think…or is that just me being paranoid?)
Given this week was the last week of the Easter holidays, I had the luxury of having Friday evening to myself. Given Sarah had recently had a birthday, Karen and I decided to make her the focus of attention and have a small ice-cream party in her honour. (Thanks Ruth for the idea!) We obtained copious amounts of ice-cream, a cake, some candles, a card and some gifts, all we needed was a venue and some bodies. After some negotiation, we all bundled round to Karen’s place, with Sarah apparently unaware of the true motive for the gathering. Once all were assembled, the cake made an entrance, accompanied with the melodious tones of “Happy Birthday”, with the cards and gifts in tow. The birthday girl was speechless, but quite evidently happy. Mission accomplished. 😀 The rest of the evening was spent playing party games and enjoying each other’s company. It was good to spend the evening acknowledging a remarkable young lady.
Saturday started off down the snooker hall with Alex, with me eventually coming out ahead by 5-2 frames. We then met up with the usual suspects for a wander around Osterley Park, although the weather was cold, windy and overcast, the conversation and fellowship was warm and bright. We finished the evening watching Fawlty Towers on DVD – I’d forgotten how funny they were! Definitely one of the finest television comedies ever!
