We managed to wake in time to watch the opening ceremony and I thought it was really good apart from Paul McCartney, he really should give up now along with Elton Jon - far too old and no voice now. Really enjoyed the opening of the games and I think they did very well and felt very proud to be British.I found it very emotional and cried a lot which does not bode well for my behaviour at Kirsty's wedding!!!
So with the morning taken up watching TV we missed coffee so went out and had an early lunch before doing a bit of shopping and collecting my photos. Not too impressed by some of them as they have cut off the heads so I need to call and find out if they will reprint them.
We got back and I took Tot out and Jon set the fire ready to light. When I got back I started to prepare the dinner and Jon kindly did all my housework for me. He does it so well and really puts some good elbow grease into the polishing.
I had a panic making my tarte tatin as the recipe didn't work for the caramel and I had to start all over. I should stick to my tried and tested recipes when I have people coming for dinner and leave the new ones when I am not under pressure.
I managed to get everything done and ready before our friends arrived. It felt a bit like Come Dine With Me!!
Dinner was really good fun and we laughed a lot, ate too much, drank too much and all ended up downstairs playing pool till far too late. It was 3.30 by the time I got to bed which is why I didn't put my blog on and finding myself sitting typing now and sipping water. Why do we do it!!!
