Weekend

Why oh why do weekends go so quickly? So quickly, that I can't remember one end from the other.

Ah, Friday we had a very lovely Chinese takeaway.  Sian was babysitting for the Howards, so she had hers and drove round in her little car, which I drove back.

Saturday was a bit of a rush but was our own fault.  Shaun was coming round at 11 to pick up some books, have a coffee and chat, along with a look at the fish, so we pottered around until then and then it was midday and we had to rush to B&Q to order some bricks, but we have to do that over the phone, so that's been put off.  We've still got the blocks, sand and cement though.  Came back and ended up taking Anna to trampolining, leaving her there and taking the papers (which I should have dropped off earlier) to mums.  Anna was worried when I got back and was a bit teary because I hadn't texted or phoned her.  No, because I was driving I said.  Then I said "you need to be worried when I'm not here at 3.00 to pick you up rather than in the middle of the lesson". Bless.

Had dinner round at Chris and Tracy's.  Pat did the starter of large prawns (shell on) on watercress with garlic butter sauce and they were bloody brilliant.  Chris did spice encrusted halibut, with a lovely risotto and tracy did a very alcoholly trifle.  It was bloody lovely all of it.  It made spending £250 on food last week rather galling to be honest, but there you go.

Pat went fishing with Dean on Sunday and I lay in and read my book.  It was a very relaxing day and Anna and I put together the roasty with no tears at all. Pat finished it off though!
