Time for a bit of a catch up – I’ve been busy being ill (heatwaves are not nice to headache sufferers, especially ones who’s medication stocks are a bit low) & decorating & general busy-ness, so I haven’t blogged much recently. Some events that have been happening in the last week or so…
We went to IKEA and spent too much money on stuff for the house, redecorating has led to furniture re-arrangement plans, so we have bought extra shelving & stuff, blinds for the spare room, lots of storage boxes.. and a completely impractical sheepskin rug – my birthday present to myself! Homily seems to think this is hers, mind:
We also went to Bournville Festival – the maypole dancers were very cute but did get a tad confused when they were walking off!!!
On Monday we had the day of work & went to watch the X Factor auditions at the ICC in Birmingham City Centre. It was great fun, and we saw some brilliant people, some mediocre people, and some absolutely dire people! A couple were real side splitters! There were a bunch of hippies that just came on & sang some African tribal campfire song (out of time and out of tune), announced that Glastonbury was far too mainstream, and got very offended when Simon said no! I think quite a few from our day will be on the telly. One of them might even be in the ‘take them on holiday’ stage.
