Friday

How can it be Friday already?

Two highlights of this week have been going to the christening of Becky's granddaughters on Sundayand J's school concert on Tuesday. The christening went very well and it was a lovely sunny day. Both children looked lovely and neither cried at all except the older one because she didn't want the cake to be cut up. Understandable really, it did look very pretty.

The concert was really very good. There are some very talented pupils including a piano prodigy in Year7 who played his own composition and was amazing. J played in the steel pans group which went well. His friend John sang a solo which was very good. All in all a very enjoyable evening.

On Wednesday went to Becky's for lunch-smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber rolls. Really nice to just sit in the garden in the sun.


Have been busy clearing out our bedroom (one of my New Year resolutions). I've been watching that programme 'The Hoarder Next Door' which has really inspired me. Bit by bit it is getting better. The other day though I took a bag of stuff to the charity shop and ended up buying a jigsaw and some books and came out with almost as much stuff as I took in. Sigh.
 
Have also been planning P's retirement do at work, getting in caterers for about 50 people. Food looks yummy. I think I'm going to be sitting serving drinks.

 The baby blackbirds disappeared, probably ended up as a meal for a jay or magpie.
