We have had a very busy Sunday. Our eldest granddaughter stayed with us last night, and treated us to a lie-in this morning, not waking up until almost 9.30am! After some breakfast we take the dog for her morning walk, and my wife takes our granddaughter into the children’s playground by the village hall for 10 or 15 minutes – something that’s repeated when her parents come to collect her at lunchtime.
When the miniature whirlwind has departed, we have a quick tidy up to restore some semblance of order, and brace ourselves for our next visitors. My wife’s youngest brother, wife, daughter and dog drop in, bringing my birthday card and present (more beer!) and some rather nice carrot cake. We enjoy a good old chinwag, a communal dog walk and another visit to the children’s playground (for the benefit of my wife’s niece).
Our next visitors arrive late in the afternoon (my wife’s mum and dad), also bringing my birthday card and gift (you guessed it – more beer!).
This evening we go to Cromer Community Centre to see Wreckless Eric. It is a bit of a mixed bag of a gig – some great new material, one or two oldies, and quite a lot of screaming guitar and feedback, which I didn’t particularly enjoy (I must be getting old!).
