It's Been a Funny Old Week (and a bit)

Blimey! The last few days have been a bit hectic around here. Today, all we can do is lie on the couch and read the Sunday papers prior to going to the social club for a drink with Johnny Badger ( Bottom of the Plot) in honour of his seventieth birthday.
It started last Saturday when we went out for a Valentine's Day candlelit dinner and to see Elvis. No, not the real one, he's dead. We saw our local Elvis impersonator, Kevin Paul, who is really good. However, what with dinner and everything, we didn't get home until 1.00 a.m, late by our standards as we are usually tucked up by ten because we like to have a read. During the week we had the 'legendary' fire down the plot and lots of visitors. Plum also finished another quilt ( a small one) which is for our niece's best friend. We are also cat sitting, Ziggy, for a neighbour who is in China for three weeks. Friday we wrestled with a turkey prior to cooking it for games night on Saturday and then we went to the theatre with Sarah to see Stepping Out. It was a good but another latish night. Yesterday we had ten for tea and games which meant lots of food preparation helped by Terry and Yvonne who cooked some yummy cakes for us. We had a nice surprise when Simon and Nat (his girlfriend) came for a visit in the afternoon. This was followed by Henry who thought he had come to the wrong house as all the furniture had been moved which was not to his liking so he stomped off. Meanwhile, Molly played musical chairs until she found the one in the sunniest spot to lie on and claimed it for her own. Games night was a lot of fun (our team won of course) .We have never played Pictionary before, and it was a hoot - artists we are definitely not, Articulate and Trivial Pursuit are our usual tipples. It was another late night had by all but worth it for the fun memories we will have.
