Saturday

I can't believe how fast the day has gone over it doesn't seem like five minutes since I got up!!.

I finally fell asleep about 12.30 and then I heard Heather come in about 1.00 so fell asleep properly.

I woke feeling more awake than I thought I would.

I did a lot of the preparation for the bbq this morning and then Jon and I went out for a coffee and to buy bread rolls and the burgers and ice bags and all done we were back home just after 11.00 and Heather was still in bed!!

I carried on with my preparations, we were expecting 24 adults and four children and one toddler so a lot of food was needed.

I was all ready at 1.00 and Sharon and Des and Margaret were the first to arrive so I won the bet Jon and I had.

The rest of our friends arrived in dribs and drabs and Jon set to and cooked the sausages, burgers and chicken satay skewers. We catered for far too many and had a lot left over but it disappeared over the afternoon. The puddings went down very well and the afternoon went over so fast and I hardly had time to chat to everyone before people were saying it was time to go. Just what happens when you are the hosts.

It was lovely to see Bianca's little one, Simone. She has grown so much, 18 months old now and really sweet and very friendly.

Most people left but Sharon, Des, Margaret, Bianca, Jason and Simone stayed on and we had a lovely time the weather was perfect and all in all it was a lovely afternoon.

Once everyone had left it took us some time to clear up - thank goodness for paper plates etc!!!

I made us some sandwiches and then I fell asleep and woke when Jon and Heather were off to bed!!

I really need my bed now so off I go.

WEATHER
Blue sky and sunny 25 degrees.
