Long Gap in the Blog...

Well, since the end of October, I have been a bit lacking in the Blogging department... What has been happening ?

OK, This week is obviously Amy's 13th Birthday - so quite a major event. We took her and a few friends to TGI Fridays yesterday as an alternative to a party. Much fun and merryment was had by all present, and the staff were fantastic. May take a day or two for my hearing to return to normal though... 5 (almost) teen girls in one car makes a Motorhead concert seem quite tame in the volume stakes...

Last Week, that was Amanda's 40th Birthday - another milestone event. On that occasion we took 18 guests to the 'Himely House Country Club' for a meal on the Monday night. Again, a good night was had by all - it turned out to be a late night for the kids (11pm on a school night is not really reccomended), but they coped well, and enjoyed it.

A few days before that, we were at Symphony Hall, Birmingham to see Katherine Jenkins in concert (again), and once again she was fantastic. Her 'guest' tenor was an Iclandic fellow named "Gardar Cortes", and he was quite spectacular in his own right - and thats from someone who does not really like Tenors!!

The 'BBC Good Food Show" was also a recent event - waaaay too much money was spent on that day! Including £20 for a small(ish) bottle of 12 year old, oak matured, Balsamic Vinegar!!

Finally, I got around to putting some pictures from Deb's wedding into an album. If I get time later I will try and sort out the Birthday Pictures for Amy and Amanda...

OK, enough time on the computer for this morning... I have two days off, and I really need to spend some time in the Gym - I have managed to put on about 4 pounds recently... That really has to go!
