Evening all

 

Hello all.  I thought I'd add a picture or two here of my village pub and the river.  I think I may have put the river on before.  Last Saturday we had a riverside festival on during the day and evening all centred around the pub and river.  This was done mainly to raise funds for the local youth club, which has been running a few years now.  I only managed to get there very late in the evening and there was a fabulous group playing rock and everyone was dancing and the atmosphere was really good. 

Martin is still here, I am worried about how he is going to deal with his workplace but I think he is going back to Leeds on Tuesday to face the music.  He is still terribly upset about the break up with Julia.  He went out with some friends on Friday night and came home in tears on Saturday morning, I think everything is coming out now and maybe thats not a bad thing.  Its coming up to the anniversary of us losing Barbara, his mum, and things always seem worse at this time.

He has missed not only us but his friends as well and has been busy catching up with them all.  I am not sure when he is moving back but it could be this week.

Work has been ok this week.  I had a lovely evening out with the department when they booked the roof garden at a local pub for a barbeque.  Only trouble was the blimming roof garden was about 4 stories up and I kid you not when the last part was like climbing a very steep ladder.  I was worried that I'd break my neck getting down if I had too much to drink, looking down when I got to the top it was a straight drop down.  Anyway, after 2 glasses of wine I felt I had better get myself off home while I could.  I didn't even pop to the loo whilst I was there knowing that I could only make one journey down those stairs as I wouldn't find the courage to go up again.  God knows how some of my friends got down there when they finished.

I have been the laziest woman ever today.  I have only just got showered and changed into fresh pyamas!  At least I look a bit more human now.  I love doing thisbut always keep my fingers crossed that no-one pops into visit us!

I don't know if anyone is watching Big Brother but I am becoming very fed up with that Charley one and hope she gets voted out this week.  I try to sneak in watching it when I can get the plodder off Paul (e.g. when he falls asleep).

Just remembering from when we were young.  My mum was always thinking someone was at the door and making us go and answer it.  Often there was no-one there and mum would always say, "it must have been my imagination".  After another time of doing this my little brother, Peter, said "Mum, why is it every time I answer the door your imagination runs away", we all fell about laughing.  Hmm, doesn't seem so funny written down. 

Anyway, heres a picture from where I grew up.  I found this site where I really enjoying going back in time.  I spent many happy hours at this cinema (we called it the pictures) and I used to love singing, "We're all for one, we're one for all, we are the grenadiers" at Saturday morning pictures.  This was when it was still called the Empire, which was a bit before my time.

 

and then sadly, it was all knocked down when I was about 15.

Aww.  I used to prefer Edmonton in the old days really.

Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely Sunday, what is left of it.

Hugs, Terry x
