Let's party

Get it on... the party girl has returned... three parties in one day!

Well ok the first two were quite sedate affairs and the last one I was too tired to talk very much, as I knew it would be a case of me sprouting gobbledygook if I did and I was spot on. God I hate it when I'm right.

I started the day at my physios housewarming lunch. I was lunching with my four expert physios, but I suppose you could call me an expert too... at having it done!
Anyway if I did keel over, I was in the right place today.
This nearly happened as I played 'knock down ginger' on a neighbours house earlier thinking I was at Hannah's new house even though I had a piece of paper in my hand with the address on.
When I realised my mistake instead of fronting it out and apologising to the owners, I legged it... well as fast as a person on oxygen can leg it!
Hannah's house was a lovely house and the garden was a real suntrap.

Next was straight on to Derek's mother and father's 60th wedding anniversary BBQ in Earls Colne. I do believe someone had moved Earls Colne as I honestly couldn't remember how to get there or even which way, even though I have been there many times in the past.
This confusion is getting a bit worrying now, although it has to be said, Ann is the worst map reader that I know of. If she has a map reading badge through being a leader at Scouts, then there hope for me yet.
That was also a lovely occasion held in their garden and I really felt a pang of jealousy that my marriage had ended after 29 years. Still that was by mutual consent and we are still good friends and I still nag him, so I am lucky I guess.
I was amazed at just how many different cards that they had, with only one repeat. I only had a choice of two in the shop where I brought mine, so I was very impressed with the range that they had. They even had a card from Queen Elizabeth II, how amazing is that?!
It was lovely watching how close all the grandchildren are to their grandparents too, warms the cockles of your heart.

Next and lastly on to our friends son's birthday BBQ party. There we were surrounded by bright young things which was lovely again, as I've known all of them since they were little. And my youngest son was there as well with all his group 'Hounds' and believe me, they really are bright young 'cool' things.
By this party, I seriously needed a cup of tea.
I can't believe that I said 'Nighty night' to them as I about to leave and it was the first time that I had even met the two newest members, the pianist and the bass guitarist. The shame of it, I sounded such a mum... So uncool!

I am now extremely tired and got short shrift for phoning my mother when 'Britain's got talent' was on TV.
Bless her I shall have to censor her photos from this film when I get it developed, as I took her camera by mistake to Poppy's and Les' anniversary and she will wonder why she doesn't remember being at the party of the couple cutting the cake.
I have to get up fairly early tomorrow as she has a new gardener coming round and then we are off to somewhere by the sea or by a lake. Depends on my energy levels.
So early to bed tonight.

Lots of love Debbie x
