Rob had the day off and we went to the gym first thing (yea I know I'm a little obsessed) and then we spent the day in Cambridge. Considering it's only 20 minutes away from us, we never really go there, but it was a beautiful sunny warm day (my dad said the same as the day I was born...ahh!), and we decided to go for an amble.
We had lunch at Browns, my (now ex) favourite restaurant. OMG how slow was the service??? I wouldn't have minded had they said, sorry we'll be slow, we're short staffed, but....NOTHING. Just slowness. And the wrong stuff came and then...slowness and so on. I could not even wait for a pudding, which, as you know, is the only reason I eat the main course. So it did my diet a favour at least.
We walked miles around the small back streets and I got some cool bits and a bag and some jeans. It's still a novelty for me to take small size stuff into the changing room and it fits! I can never quite believe it!
I got some really lovely presents too. Here you go with a small selection of loveliness:
The trowel is inscribed with the words: Liz My dear perennial friend, blessings be upon you and your garden love Mary. How lovely is that??
Last night a few of us went to an Italian place for pizza and Sergio the Latin Singer was there so we all had a singalong which was so funny!!!! My sister has the loudest voice and got completely carried away!! Everyone sang Happy Birthday which was a bit embarrassing, but we had a fab evening!
We bought cakes in Cambridge but didn't eat them as we were so full, so I have them to look forward to later....
Portia is coming along. The back is finished, and I am on the front. I can see a line, though, where I joined in a new skein. Same dye lot. Can you spot it? I'm trying hard not to look. It is at the back after all........
