What a weekend we had – so much done!
Friday Night we met up with Kathryn and Pete in Summertown and went to the Oxford Kitchen restaurant. We had a lovely evening and it was really pleasant and the food was excellent but there was a catch…the total bill for the 4 of us was £236.00!! A little bit taken aback I must admit, even though we’d had a view of the prices etc. Didn’t ruin the evening but made it a bit of a dampener to be honest! It was great food but it wasn’t worth that much money! Ah well…
Next day we were up and at the world and did all sorts of jobs, going to do a car boot on Sunday so went through the office area and cleared out all the items we didn’t need/want any more. Didn’t seem to have a great deal but it made some space in the office anyway so that was good.
Charlotte then called Rose and the four of us (Tash!) got the canoe and went down the river a little way and had a picnic sat in the middle of the river. It was nice and relaxing and it was fun listening to Charlotte & Rose gossiping. We didn’t go too far as Rose had to be back for work but it was a couple of hours nicely spent.
Walked Bella in the afternoon and got her to go in the river. She’s a lovely dog and knows when we arrive we’re going to take her out for a walk so she gets so very excited!
In the evening I looked for a new camera and we then went to Rye St Anthony school to pick Jack up who’d been there all day with Ben Millwood. When I got there his Dad, Martin, was chatty but also the mum is Karen Winston I’m sure. There were also two lads from Marston Saints days remembering me from Cold Arbour so that was a coincidence. Jack had a great time and we had a beer with them
Sunday we were off to the Kassam for a car boot sale, got a decent pitch and put our stuff out and watched as people went by. It does make you appreciate the life you’ve made for yourself whether by means or luck, some of the people walking past do seem from another planet. That’s not meant in a snobby fashion, it’s just interesting to see people from a different walk of life and wondering how they get by. We sold a lot of the items we had available and it was a constant stream all morning and we made £70.00 profit. Not bad for stuff we were ready to throw away.
We did go to the bottle & clothes bank to leave items we didn’t want and threw away some other stuff but a couple of jars we kept for the kids kitchen at Uni!
In the afternoon I bought the waterproof camera I wanted and also organised my train and hotel for the next two days as I will be staying in London. We had a BBQ in the afternoon and Miles & his brother came round so that was nice for Charlotte and Jack. We played a couple of games and then Tash, Lewis & I were alone so we played Crib (Tash won and I only taught her yesterday how to play!!)
Got an early night as I need to be up at 5.30am tomorrow
A very nice and relaxed weekend, even if we have spent a lot of money!!
