Celebrations
The weekend of the 24th September (yes, I know it is now the 12 of November and I am really behind in my news) was a fantastic weekend for me, despite it being the end of another year of my life (scary)! I had a full house, with my folks and my brother and his fiance visiting me for the weekend. They all arrived just before lunch, which was a mix of cold meats, pork-pies, salad, chips and... sushi!! I thought I would see if I could pass my new addiction on to my family members and was impressed that everyone tried at least one piece. Lunch was enjoyed and after clearing things up we did stuff. I say stuff because I can't actually remember what 
we did really other than chat, look at my bike, laughing at my brother riding around on a pink bike tinkling the bell, getting ideas as to how to "jazz" up my bike (cards in the spokes and streamers on the handle-bars) and then opening presents (me). I got some very nice things including money (always goes down well), an ornament of a wren (picture to right), a book (Power of One by Bryce Courtenay) and a very large, fluffy hedgehog.
Later in the day we were joined by my friends who brought me some lovely flowers and an ornamental hedgehog (I see a theme developing here but not
sure why...). On introducing my new hedgehogs to each other (picture to left) we headed to the local pub to try out the food and drink. We had great meals and the "entertainment" (aka people watching) was amusing. Little did I know that there would be a toga party happening at the pub (many guys walking around with sheets around them), but it added to the amusement of the evening.
Sunday saw us catching up on "X-factor" and "Who wants to be a millionaire?" (sad lot us!), fixing a lock to my sliding door, more chatting and doing of stuff and then saying cheerios to the family both before and after lunch. Later that evening I was treated to a meal out by my friends to help wrap up the celebrations. Thanks to all involved in making the weekend a fantastic one! Really appreciate the visits and the laughs. And of course the presents!
