NEWS FLASH: I PASSED MY THEORY TEST ON SATURDAY!! One down, one to go - the "practical" (driving) test.
I am getting to be an expert on weather predicting with the cows. Today a few were sitting with just a couple standing. I took it to mean it will be wet (as it was then raining) with clearing in the afternoon. At the moment (at 3pm), the sun is shining. I rest my case.
Busy weekend with dinner (I mean tea) out to a Thai restaurant with a few people from work. Tried a new dish and because the waiter liked me, gave us a free appetizer of tuna and ginger. It's nice to have clout. We all tried Thai beer and sufficiently walked out with a warm glow.
Saturday evening we went to my cousin's daughter's engagement party. It was held in a football club in a village called Blofield. We ate, drank, danced and became merrier by the minute. Lots of families there and I must note that it is a little disconcerting to see 5 year olds running around singing at the top of their lungs "Don't you wish your girlfriend was HOT like me? Don't you wish your girlfriend was a FREAK like me...........don't chu? DON'T CHU?!"
Sunday was "Roger's Day" and we took a picnic to a place called Wroxham and sat along the broads, feeding the birds. You haven't lived until a swan has hissed at you. It's like getting scolded by your mother. Ok, ok, I'll eat my veggies instead of trying to pawn them off on you.
We looked around the shops and in the evening had tea time with friends.
Meanwhile, the house is still in shambles and we find new and creative ways to cook our food each night. This week the sink has moved to another part of the kitchen and I'm getting to be an expert at playing "find the coffee today". The never ending joys of D.I.Y.-ing (do it yourself).
