Hot Summer

Okay so it's unbearably hot in the office, I'm sat here in a vest & flimsy skirt...no shoes on & a fan on either side of me! apparently though we were pleased to find, there isn't a legal maximum heat limit for office workers..only a minimum so we've been 'politely' asked to stop making a fuss :O(

Anyway that's quite enough of my moaning for now :op


So getting on to what this post was supposed to be about...

Friday saw me finishing work at 15:30 to go meet Gaynor it was a scorching afternoon so we grabbed a cold drink & window shopped for a while before heading back to my house to give her the 'guided tour' of the place...not that its in a 'showoffable' (real word...honest) state at the moment but there are more important things in life to worry about, aren't there? :S.

Anyhoo...we drank tea & nattered about all the things that have changed over the past few months...(& there was an awful lot!) Gaynors moving soon too, also shes been seeing someone for a couple of months (who sounds lovely) I'm really pleased she's found someone nice, she told me about people getting married in the village & the latest gossip (I felt so out of the loop) it was really nice though & we had a giggle.

After she left I made myself useful & did a few chores before Mark came home from work with our "Chippy Tea" & we snuggled up on the sofa & watched Team America (of all things) which was of course hilarious, a great end to a lovely day.

Saturday Mark was working again so I had a toddle into town to see if I could locate a store with the Die Hard 2 Blu-ray we've been after...after a while browsing the shops it was apparent that the Tinterweb held the best offers for us...but it was not a wasted journey because on the way back I stumbled upon a Guinness World Record attempt at the longest human locomotion train being held in the Market place...I wandered past just as the choreography was being taught...it was pretty fun to watch sadly the turn out wasn't enough to break the record...but maybe next time hey :o)

After arriving home I received a call from my friend Lou, who had the shocking suggestion that we should spend the afternoon sipping wine & sunbathing in her garden...so obviously I accepted & lazed around there for the day until Mark came for me after work (bless him).

Finally I'm on to Sunday...& what an awesome day that was, firstly 'M' & I had the best lie in ever (which was much needed & appreciated) then we met up with our friends June & Omar & headed over to Stockton to have lunch at the Dun Cow [possibly THE best Sunday Lunch eating establishment around here...*here's some random trivia for you* it's the one Tony Blair took Bush too years back].

After lunch Omar suggested we should check out Archers Jersey Farm Ice Cream Parlour in Walworth...after sitting for a while listening to his description of Ice Cream so good it's like stealing cake mix while your Mum's baking & the contemplation of fitting even more tasty food into our already over stuffed stomachs we *of course* decided to give it a try...& I'm glad we did. When we arrived the queue was huge so I decided to go find shade with Mark while Omar kept our place in the queue & June went off to stroke some of the Jersey Calves on the farm (who were Uber cute may I add). Once Omar had persevered & got to the front of the queue we all piled in & ogled to array of tasty Ice Cream before us I opted for a large tub with three scoops *oink* which were Double chocolate, toffee fudge & Hokey Pokey *wow that taste reminds me of NZ soo much*...needless to say we were all rather sleepy after our day of good eating so returned home soon after where Mark & I had a lazy afternoon/evening on the couch watching Top Gear & various episodes from series three of Nip/Tuck.

A fab weekend in all *^_^*
