Had a nice, if busy, weekend. Dragged John out shopping on Saturday morning... popped to my fave store (one of) - TK Maxx to but some new schnazzy bake-ware and stuff for my new schnazzy kitchen... God, I am SUCH a domestic Goddess ;-) In the afternoon, John went off to footie, and Mark and I spent a scintillating but much needed afternoon going through all the the boxes of kitchen stuff, and decided what we needed to hurl out (quite alot), what needed upgrading, and the rest we washed up and put away. This was made all the more fascinating by our new toys - new dishwasher, new hob and oven, and new tumble dryer (courtesy of Janine and Simon - thankyou!).
In the evening, John came back and joined us in the village for a couple of beers and an Indian meal. His *first* Indian meal (in a restaurant) ever, would you believe?! I guess our generation in this country takes that kind of experience for granted!
Sunday, we had a really nice day out - to blow the cobwebs off. We went up to Potter Heigham in Norfolk, and popped into our favourite discount store to buy some new dinner plates etc... had fish and chips by the river, and then drove up to Sea Palling for a trampse along the sand dunes. Gorgeous... In the evening, John worked, and Mark and I went for a bit of a drink, and came home to admire the soft-closing mechanisms on our drawers and cupboards! heh... ;-)
Yesterday was pretty uneventful - I went to a step aerobics class after work with Lynn, and managed to tie myself in a big knot with it (not least my knickers - when I discovered that a whole load of 50+ women seem to take to it like a duck to water, and I am left failing around, hopelessly trying to follow what they are doing.... grrrrrr). I like to think that it is because it is suspiciously like line dancing, and my brain clearly has "issues" with participating in such a thing :-D The evening was not exactly finished off well though - Mark didn't stop working on the kitchen until almost midnight, at which point my stomach was ready to eat itself - and his patience had entirely worn out. Cue much pouting, and snarling... ;-) The almost-finished result does look wonderful though!
Anyway... had better get off. Am on the turnstiles tonight for the Histon FC v Stafford Rangers game, and I have to duck past the netball girls on the recreation ground next to the pitch (who may disembowel me for missing training tonight!).
Lots of love and kisses - especially to Jen... am thinking of you chickie!
