It's been lovely and sunny today, but the wind was cold and reminded us that it's still only March! Sophie took herself off to Market Harborough at 11am to meet her work buddy, Becky, where they were going to shop until they dropped, have lunch and then a drink at The Wine Shed. I pootled about and did some jobs, but it was a very relaxed start to the weekend!
Keith went to see Sileby play at 2.30pm and I carried on transcribing my Nepal diary, which is progressing very slowly! I'd like to add it to a travel Facebook group I belong to, but it will have to be finished first!
Sophie came home at about 5:00pm, and we went out again almost immediately to her friend Daisy's house, where there was a small gathering to celebrate Daisy's 30th birthday. I clearly remember 12 years ago when Sophie and all of her friends were turning 18 and venturing into Northampton's hotspots for the first time! I'm glad that's all over now!
Before going to the house, we called into Aldi, where Sophie bought a bottle of Champagne and flowers. When we arrived, Daisy came out to meet us, very glammed up in heels and a long skirt, as most of the guests were going to a Karaoke bar later. Sophie asked me to collect her at about 7:00pm as she was definitely not keen on that activity!
I trundled home, relaxed for a couple of hours, and then went back to pick her up. She'd had a couple of cocktails so was a bit merry, but said that Daisy had definitely been the star of the show, with drinks named after her, photos of her over the years and a long speech from her mum... Sophie won't be getting anything like that for her 30th next week!
Back home, the three of us sat around the kitchen table and dissected the events of the day over a bottle of red wine, cheese and biscuits. After we'd eaten, we started watching the first series of The Capture on BBC iPlayer. It certainly kept us hooked!
