The Old Lady

Nearly the end of the week

I am pooped! It has been such a busy time of late, celebrating all sorts of things, that I am completely exhausted. I am supposed to be extremely busy at work too but I dont seem to have the energy for that as well!

Mum's birthday went well. The Duck ride was in an ex WW2 vehicle- created for the D-day landings- which can go on land and in the water! It was brilliant. Not least because the 'guide' on board had all sorts of interesting facts about London and it made it all very interesting. I had lunch with her on my own which was lovely and then the rest of the family joined in for the activities later in the day. The theatre wasnt even as bad as I was expecting and Mum loved it which is the important thing. Just a weekend away 'en famille' left and all the celebrating is done! I hope they NEVER forget their 60ths as so much time and effort has gone into celebrating them! It was sweet to see them holding hands as we walked around London yesterday afternoon too- I guess I dont go out and about with them often enough these days to be used to it but it was something I quite enjoyed watching.

Tonight is 'go to the gym and clean the house and go shopping' night ahead of a dinner party at ours tomorrow.... Lots to look forward to then !
