Denis and Bev came for lunch today. Ann had prepared a full lamb roast and Bev did us proud by baking a variation on a Bakewell Tart with lemon curd instead of jam – the yummiest dessert I’ve had a in a long while. Cheers Bev!!
After stuffing ourselves, Lee and I rescued the kitchen, whilst Ann and Denis caught up with each other’s news and Ann showed off our wedding photographs – hard to believe that it’s taken us almost seven months to do this!.
Meanwhile, Bev and I then tried to convert the video she shot of Denis in a Lancaster (his birthday treat, earlier in the week) to DVD format. We failed miserably – and I’m not sure why! In theory we had all the kit to do the job with ease, but I have a feeling it might be that the recordable DVDs were ‘+r’ format, and I think it’s only the ‘-r’ type that play in domestic DVD players.
We finished the afternoon chatting about our forthcoming train-holiday to Germany – and somehow ended up discussing hats and underpants! Weird!!
Time soon whizzed-by, and before we knew it, it was 5pm, and time to say our good-byes. It’s been a great family day, and we’re all looking forward to the holiday.
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
