Saturday

Morning everyone.  It's Saturday and it is a glorious start to the day  I'm so pleased because today a friend is getting married and the forecast couldn't be better.  It makes me very glad for her.

Yesterday was busy but happy.  
It started with Slimming World which was great fun even though the weigh in was not the best ever (slight understatement there).  Then I dashed home to finish off getting ready for my friend coming round.

I haven't seen C since before lockdown.  Then, we had a meet up planned which we had to cancel and we never got round to arranging another so we had so much to talk about, we didn't stop from arrival to departure.  It was lovely and we agreed to have another one soon.
C was my student at one point and then she got her first post at 'my' school.  Well over a decade, probably nearer two decades and three children later, she's still there, working two days a week doing PPA cover so there's a lot of common ground.

C left when the cleaners arrived and I grabbed my shopping list and went to Morrisons.  The bill was a bit eye watering but that was because not only did I treat myself to a small joint of lamb for tomorrow, I got a nice bottle of special bubbly for the bride and groom today.  I have no idea what L wants - they are not a young couple and already have everything needed to continue their lives together and I know L likes bubbly so . . .

So today I am chilling this morning and off to a wedding and reception early this afternoon.  None of it is too far away but far enough to drive so that stops me drinking - which is a Good Thing!  Several old colleagues will be there too which will be lovely.  L used to work at the school and she and I worked together for a number of years.

I think today will be a very happy day indeed.  I hope yours is too.  xx
