Well - still very busy at work, so not really had time to update the old blogola lately! This is a piccie of Mark and I at a wedding we went to t'other week for one of his workmates.
Had a nice weekend (the last one gone). Me old cousin Mark came up on Friday night for a bit of a booze up and a thai meal in the local pub - very nice indeedie! It was a welcome break after doing a very harsh spinning class at the local gym!! I must say that he is currently looking distinctly like a cross between David Essex and a member of the Taliban (long "tousled" hair, ginger beard, and a turkish tea towel thrown around his neck...). No doubt he is trying to achieve the perfect 'boho' look ahead of his 6-month around the world trip - heading off next week. I wish him well - although I must admit I did a bit of finger wagging, and may have said "be careful" a few too many times... bless him.
On Saturday, football seemed to swallow up the entire day almost. I worked the turnstiles (was my turn to do it until half time - pout), but it was a good match - and the might Histon FC managed to get a 3-1 win over York. Marvellous! We spent the evening in the pub with Mark's friends Nigel and Russell, and then joined John (Mark's Dad) at home for fish and chips... (this is sarting to sound like a real lager lout's blog...).
Sunday was a bit stressy, but really rather nice. I cooked (with Caroline's help) for Mark's entire family; Paul and Alison, Jessica and Sam, Katie and Emily, Caroline, Mark, John and Myself. Managed to cook three types of meat/roast, and even served a dessert! Was really nice - and a nice way to show John that family lifecan still go on. I think he is still finding life alone very very tough - and I don't blame him. I have been there and done it, and it's not exactly fun being on your own when you really don't want to be. Sunday evening, Mark and I managed an evening alone - just chilling out in our slowly materialising kitchen.
Monday I went to Sophie's for dinner after I went to the gym for a step class. We had delicious liver and bacon, with lashings of gossip and gravy ;-) Tuesday I had netball, followed by a committee meeting - apparently I now do the PR for the netball club - "The Histon Hounds" heh. Wednesday I had lunch with Adele, and in the evening went to another meeting for netball with Lynn and Sarah, and *then* a meeting for football - I am involved in the organisation of one of the player's testimonial match. I am now in charge of doing posters, invites and DVD covers! :-s We then stuck around to watch the Histon Reserves play, and saw Joe (from netball) taking some pictures at the ground.
Tonight I am having dinner with Robert and Emma - its Emma's 30th birthday apparently, so we are going to the pub to celebrate. Hopefully I wont fall off my bike on the way home! ;-)
And so ends another busy busy week.... and starts another. I am at a spinning class tomorrow night, and I think we are watching Rugby with some of Mark's friends on Saturday. Sunday might be a chance to go and look at new cars... a replacement for Jarvis?! Gulp....
Anyway... phew... hope you are all well?
Lots of love
Hayley
