It's been a nice week for me other than the weather. I've several of the 'children' to stay which is always nice. Hubby and I spent a late afternoon at the beach hut and enjoyed an impromptu barbecue and the dog came too and loved it.....
...I received a clean bill of health from from the doctor after my routine NHS health check....but my weight was a shock. However, the nurse said that I had a nice waist which made me smile.
I went swimming at the local leisure centre for the first time and joined in an 'Over 50's' session which was hilarious because absolutely no swimming was being done by any of the other folks at the session...just lots of chatting whilst bobbing up and down in the water. I gave up and went into the 'lane swimming' session which was much better for me. At least I could swim without interrupting conversations.
I watched 3 films in 24 hours which was most unlike me. First of all hubby and I went to see Jurassic World in 3D which we both thoroughly enjoyed. This was preceded by a 3 course meal with drinks at Pizza Express. I honestly can't remember when I last ate a three course meal and while Pizza Express is hardly cordon bleu, it was very pleasant nonetheless.
The following day I went with my son and three of the grandchildren to see Minions. That was fun and the children enjoyed it. Son was traumatised at the thought of seeing the film but hadn't seen his nieces or nephews for some time and had the day off so he agreed to come with me. He enjoyed the film more than he expected and the children are always pleased to see their 'silly uncle'.
Then that evening I sat and watched 'Hector and the Search for Happiness' via Netflix. It's a film starring Simon Pegg and I had never heard of it. I thought it was great. It's probably not for everyone but I think it's worth a watch.
Last night, after the rain had stopped and the skies cleared, we had another barbecue but at home this time. It was a small affair with hubby, daughter and son in law and it was lovely. The food and drink were just right and a nice time was had by all.
Next week things change again when one of our girls and her boyfriend come to stay with us for a while until they decide what their next move is going to be. It will be lovely having them here but it will feel strange too as we have had the house to ourselves since we moved in last November. Next weekend we are off to the Cambridge Folk Festival which is going to be great....Frank Turner will be there!
Oh, and I almost forgot to say that one of our daughters has got she and I entry to a signing that Frank is doing in London in August and we get to meet him too apparently which is going to be a bit mad. i might be able to get a photo with him. That would be amazing!
That's it for now. Apologies that it's not a very interesting update. I guess it's just a sign that my life and my mind are pretty stable at the moment which is great for me but not so good for blog readers!
Take care everyone.
