Playing Catchup!
Well, I've had a busy few days and I have to thank you all for working so hard on winning me the Easter Prize at my childrens' school. I will post a picture of me eating all the lovely chocolate, OK? (btw I haven't won it yet, but I will....muhahahahhahaha).
Tuesday night I went to 'Club night' at my local tennis club. Club members just turn up and play doubles with whoever is there. I was a little apprehensive as I thought I would be so much worse than everyone. I can play quite well but I'm quite sporadic. There are some wondrous shots and some pants ones. I played again this morning and we 'perfected' our backhand slice. I really feel like my tennis is, at last coming together. I'm really thinking about it and my positioning in doubles is getting much more second nature.
Anyway, that's enough tennis (yawn). Last night hubby and I WENT OUT - ON OUR OWN!
Well not quite on our own. I think there were another 800 or so people with us! We went to see this man. Oh, how funny he was. It's a long time since I've seen a stand up comic - maybe 8 years. The only joke from last night that I can remember is this one:
"In Ireland they don't have 'illegal' and 'legal' they have 'oh, that's grand', 'oh, you're taking the piss' and 'oh, you've gone too far now' (say it in an Irish accent it's funnier).
My friend N's daughter babysat for us....which was nice.
Oh, yes, and yesterday I went to Bury St Edmunds with my big sis (I have two big sis's but the other one lives in Bangladesh so don't assume it was her, haha. Although she probably would have come if she could have. She's also a GOOD shopper - if I remember rightly she spent nearly three hours in our local TK Maxx one year (they don't have many shopping opportunities in Dhaka as you can imagine). Anyway, I digress, we had a lovely time, coffee, shopping, lunch (Tapas), shopping, home. I bought a luvverly pure silk dress in East for £20 in the sale (orig price £99). And yes, it does fit, and yes, I do like it!
And here is today's Amaryllis watch! It's definitely grown hasn't it, doctor. (sorry I keep repeating that joke but I can't help it)
Oh, and here are the latest graves. As promised they are related to the porn industry. I apologize now for some of them being VERY VERY BAD TASTE!
Hmmm, we'll say no more about those!
I'm away tomorrow night until Saturday night. Every six months, me and the kids meet up with two old and extremely good friends and their kids. It was B's wedding I went to way back before Christmas when I was still a Londoner. We haven't seen each other since then so we have some catching up to do. I really love these friends. One of them B, went through a nasty divorce a few years ago and myself and C (my other friend) pulled the stops out to support her through the dark days...we had fun along the way too! It's brought us all very close and we are very supportive of each other. But more to the point, they are a great laugh and love alcohol!! Both C and B have now got dogs, so looking forward to meeting them. We are meeting at C's house as we usually do because her husband is a long haul pilot and so we are completely 'sans men' apart from their two sons who are rapidly growing up!
Bon weekend a tous!

have a lovely weekend...loved the porn photos...give B my love, C probably wouldn't remember me but say hello anyway...and tell B she should have a blog as well! Not too demanding, am I?
Have a great time. xx
Well Martina I would have to say my fav is muffin beng a muffin type of gal as you well know! I prefer ping pong myself and would gladly take you on anyday as well as being the crepe queen I am also sthe pingpong queen! Enjoy that chocolate, you've worked hard for it Hummmm!!!
Yep I have invested in a proper job crepe pan and I can tell you it's the bees knees, when you come my crepes will knock your socks off! Have a fab weekend with your friends :-)
We are! It's hotting up, it's 10 already and later who knows?
Loved the pictures! 'Tommy' is based on a real person by the way - so it might be the person who lived near you. He is a member of my family in fact - it obviously runs in the family!!
I made almond and lemon cake yesterday - lovely stuff. I should have a baking blog I think. I've got Nigella's book and I'm working my way through every recipe and then writing a little message to L on each one that I do so that I can eventually give it to her. It says what she was like on the day we did the baking together and what we were up to. I think it might make a nice present.
I'm jealous of the silk dress. Just don't do what I do and drip baked beans or something down it within minutes of putting it on!
We missed you yesterday!
Yes, have a super weekend.
Your friends are so lucky to have you. You are the nicest person who I've never met (if you get what I mean).
Not sure about the tomb stones though. We could all find ourselves on List99 for accessing pornographic images if we're not careful.
PS The nose has entered the peeling stage.
Come on Luce, get your blog out! where are you?
(hee hee)
Yeah I get my tips out!
Glad to hear you had a good time in Bury St Edmunds. Where did you go for coffee? Was it the new Starbucks?
