Back!
So this is what I’ve been up to since I came back…
Wednesday:
Saw Sarah
Thursday:
Went shopping into Chorlton and ended up making a great ice cream sundae
Went to the Rain bar quiz!
Friday:
Sorted a load of stuff out at home before heading into St. Helens for Sarah’s Brother-in-Laws 40th birthday party at “Le Frog”.
It was a fun event, and my food was nice (though this view did carry through everyone!) It was a cabaret night, and therefore quite a bit more expensive than normal - definitely not worth it I think!
The best part was the lengthy dancing-on-a-chair session undertaken by John (whose birthday it was) when they brought out his cake.
Got back to Manchester after a brief, but enjoyable, train journey.
Saturday:
Busy, busy day!
went off to fruit pick at some farm in Cheshire. It’s the first time I’ve done this since I did it as a part-time job in Weighton. I hated it back then, but it was good this time around!
We ended up picking LOADs of raspberries, a few blackberries and we bought some of their apple juice (the alcoholic variety had run out!)
Then it was on to Mahinda’s BBQ - which was really good!
the most fun part of it was people rapidly erecting a gazebo when it started to rain quite heavily.
We left early, but apparently it went on until 3am or so, which a moderate amount of carnage.
We went back to Sarah’s place and got changed for Jenny’s fancy dress (80s) birthday party. Sarah went as a material girl and I went as Timmy Mallett - It was great fun.
I’d even made (out of 2 badminton racquets, a pillow case, some cardboard and a valance sheet) Mallett’s Mallet, I’ll definitely try and get a picture up on here at some point.
the trips there and back were good fun, with people performing several double takes - especially in the slightly drunken state they’ll have been in on our way back!
the party was decent - some people didn’t bother dressing up though, which was a shame. Concensus was that my costume was the best. We returned home at 1am.
Sunday:
Emma’s birthday BBq all afternoon, followed by a relaxing end to the weekend watching Oceans 12.
Monday:
First day back at work - I sorted out a load of stuff and read all my non-gmail e-mail (lots!) went home and did some work on the garden - which had partly weeded over.
I’ve now got *another* big pile of rocks to disperse somehow. I don’t want to put them into the wall as they’re all a bit naff. I’ll decide after it’s been flattened somehow….
Tuesday:
today…. WHITE RABBITS!!!!! well, it is the first of the month
