Good morning and here we are, half way through September already. Incredible! Yesterday was a gloriously warm summer-like day and my fingers are crossed for today as well.
As expected, yesterday ended up more busy than I had hoped although it was all home based. I got two loads of washing done and dried on the line, did tuition, tidied and cleared, cooked and dishwashed up and, generally, it felt much busier than it had looked on paper.
Jeff came round, did the necessary, we discussed the allotment work and agreed that the end of October would be the best time, and left it at that. Good for Jeff.
The evening was lovely. There was not a scrap of food left in the serving dishes and somehow (can't imagine how!!!) the evening turned out to be more alcoholic than expected. I will not shame myself by letting on quite how much very nice wine was consumed by the three of us but, suffice it to say, I had enough sense left to cancel the early swim today because I'm not sure I am fit to drive yet. It takes longer for alcohol to leave the system than one would think.
We talked and laughed and laughed and talked and it was late before Dave and Anna left (they walked, no problems with transport) so small wonder I found it hard to relax and slept badly. It was a hot night too, which didn't help, so I'm feeling very bleary eyed this morning and the black coffee is more needed than usual.
I am determined that it is going to be an easier day as I'm still weary (my own fault this time). I have some ironing to do and I might pop to the allotment, just to water and harvest at some point but I won't be doing anything too heavy and I am sure that I will nod off from time to time.
Take care, have a lovely day and be safe, everyone. xx
Sometimes such a get together is just what's needed, glad you had a fabulous time, a good time to remember!
ReplyDeleteIt will be, definitely. Anna's been looking into the family tree and, when they've finished their house move (still local)I'm going round, Dave will cook (or get takeaway) and Anna will take me through what she has discovered about family history. Maybe I can add it to The Book.
DeleteA shame about the calories but it was worth every last one! :-)

That sounds like a wonderful evening, and yes very sensible not to drive first thing this morning even though a swim must have seemed very enticing. I think we are all missing evenings like this just recently aren't we, so when they do come along any brakes on wine consumption go right out of the window.
ReplyDeleteYou make a very good point. It truly was a lovely evening, just the three of us and lots for stuff to talk about, a nice dinner and . . .
DeleteMaking memories is good.

That sounds like the perfect evening and I'm so glad you had such a good time.

Sounds like a lovely evening, Joy. I've been teetotal for a couple of years now, but there's still the odd time when I'd like a drink or 4 with friends...xx
ReplyDeleteI understand that.

Sounds like a marvelous time.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I do love a bit of family time anyway and, living on my own, having people to share the evening with is an occasional treat that I really appreciate. xx
