I wouldn't say I drank
too much yesterday but... There's no denying that much of yesterday
evening was a blur. I woke feeling like death warmed up at 3am. I do
that after a serious drinnking session. The cure is to get up and
drink a pint of water. So I did that, but then couldn't get back to
sleep. So I got up again and had brekkie at 4.30am. Sometimes if I
get up for an hour I then can sleep afterwards. So I got up, had a
shave, posted the photos from yesterday's wedding and went back to
bed.
I dozed fitfully until
7am when "Furry Face TM" declared
"Red Alert". I knew Lacey was going to be with us
today; but no one told me she was arriving at 7am. But I didn't mind.
We spent an hour or so watching stuff on the Nickelodeon Channel.
Lacey seemed content
watchinig telly and "Furry Face TM"
was restless so I took him round the park. For once the place wasn't
heaving with the Saturday morning jog-a-thon. He behaved himself
(mostly) and as we walked we saw a
Jay flying past. You don't see them very often in Viccie Park.
We then drove down to
Westernhanger Castle. There was an "Alice iin Wonderland"
themed day. We thought Lacey might like it and I was sure that I
would.
We were wrong.
Personally I was rather
disappointed to find that the event was aimed at the pre-school age
group. It is possible we might have enjoyed it more if we had been
able to hear anything of what the characters in the show were saying;
I wouldn't say that I wanted my money back (mainly because "er
indoors TM" had paid) but the
entertainment was twenty quid down the toilet.
I saw the show got rather
slated on social media too. A shame, really. We had such high
hopes.
Mind you there were
several stalls selling all sorts of stuff. We were rather taken with
the magic stall and we all came away with magic tricks and magic
wands and stuff. Pausing only briefly to have photos taken withh
Minions we then went to the American Diner for a spot of lunch
where Lacey started amazing us with her magical feats. I must admit
I've always been taken with magicians, and I can do the bamboozing
the public by talking loud and fast and confidently. I wonder if I
might become a magician?
Cheryl joined us at the
Diner, and we then went round to Asda to get the makings of dinner.
Narrowly missing a "CrackWatch" opportunity we came
home for a cuppa, made a few plans for tomorrow then drove round to
Dan and Cheryl's. We played magic tricks, had a rather good bit of
diner, then I slept through Ant and Dec on the telly.
A really good day all
things considered. I
took a few photos of what we did...
