Me on Monday ~ The School Friends Edition

It was a wet weekend but we refused to let it dampen our spirits. Yesterday I met up with the Class of '87. We've done it before, you might remember. This year our little band had grown and yet again I had the pleasure of seeing people that I hadn't crossed paths with since the day we left school, 28 years ago. Surely not?

























Here we are at the top of Gold Hill, on our way to meet the rest of our friends already in the pub at the bottom. Yes, it really is August and I'm wearing boots and a waterproof! I didn't take a single photo all day and had to pinch this one from Facebook. I was doped up on codeine and far too busy catching up.

























Me on Monday? Playing board games with my children on another rainy afternoon and wishing it was Wednesday. I've aggravated an old back injury and that's the day I get to see the chiropractor. It can't come soon enough.

In other news my girl got the results she needs to begin her college course in September. We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief now. Happy days. Waving to Sian and hoping there is sunshine wherever you are.

    Hurray for starting college! Wonderful news.

    How lovely to be meeting up again. It sounds like they are a great bunch if they're worth venturing outside for in that kind of cold! I hope your back improves and that you are feeling a bit (or a lot) better by the end of the week

    Well I've just seen on Facebook that the chiropractor helped so that is good. Reunion sounds nice, I ducked out of our '35 years since we left school get together' - the 25 year one left me feeling such a failure, I figured I could do without it this time around :D

    Have a great week especially as your back is a little better now x
