Sunday 11th Oct

It was a long weekend of hangovers or early mornings, so, sorry i have missed three days but here they are. We spent all day Friday sorting out the buffet and house for the party in the evening, we did manage to get a couple of hours rest in before the first guest arrived at seven. I think we both had a really good time and got to bed around two in the morning, every one seemed to enjoy themselves and most of the birthday cake went. As a result i woke on Saturday with an unpleasant headache and languished on the the sofa whilst ant cleared away most of the mess. Just after lunch we went down to David and Mark's and headed with Mark to the hospital to visit David, he seemed to be in good health and chatted away, though he was frustrated at being made to stay in bed. When we got back we settled in for a restful rest of day, i did go online for a little while but could not really be bothered, and the headache wasn't helping matters.
On Sunday we were up at three in the morning to get ant to Brussels for his flight to work, i was amazed how many cars were about at that time on a Sunday morning. It all went well and i was back by half eight. Needles to say i was a little tired so i did a bit of housework, cleared some of the washing backlog, gave the kitchen a bit of a going over, then settled down for a restful afternoon, watched season one of are you being served. I phoned gran later in the day, and as i was chatting went upstairs to find water dripping from the ceiling of our bedroom onto our bed, which sent me in to a bit of a flutter as i dragged the feather duvet off and got a bucket under it asap. I don't think it did too much damage, as i had the fire on i put the duvet in the living room and it has dried out nicely. I watched a bit more tv in the evening then went to bed by ten and read, Feral Future is a really interesting but also slightly scary book, i would highly recommend it.
So the birthday season is at an end, all over and done with, but from it we now have a lovely holiday to look forward to, in less than a week, the girls are being a bit funny about food as they got so much rubish off the buffet they are now turning thier noses up at normal food, so that will have to be nipped in the bud, and i have to find and solve the hole in our roof, i think it is just a slipped tile, or at least i hope it is, once i get it sorted i will have the ceiling to paint, so thats a bit of fun for the future.
