Weird night's sleep, hot and bursting for a wee from about 2.30am, finally gave in at 7.30am!! Not good weather sadly, overcast and drizzly which is a shame.
Got the kettle on the go and relaxed listening to music and fighting for internet! My solar battery died, I might get rid of that. Load of shit!
It’s Olivia’s first birthday today so all their side of the family are coming over around midday. Hope it brightens up as we’ve got the canoe ready to inflate.
Wandered over to Gaz and Nikki’s caravan and had sausage and bacon sandwiches which was nice and gradually family started arriving, they all turned up which was lovely.
I went and pumped up the canoe, that was quick and easy, and then we took it to the lake side and just me with Theo and Ralph went in and had a paddle about.
No one else used it when we brought it back but it was a bit of fun for them. The weather was overcast which was a massive difference compared to yesterday but it was okay I guess.
We went to the hot house for food and drink and it was a nice atmosphere and everyone just sat and chatted. Olivia was spoilt with tons of presents as you’d imagine and she enjoyed her cake! Gradually people made their way home, and Gareth and Danny had gone off to watch the Grand Prix qualifying (which I wasn’t invited to!) so I made my excuses and had an hours snooze in the van which was nice.
Had a couple of gins waiting for Tash to come back and deflated the canoe and such stuff but still no Tash so I went back to the pub and they’d gone back to the caravan. But weird she didn’t come and get me, but miffed about that.
Danny and Vics left after about an hour and we then had dinner in the caravan. Lovely steaks that we had provided. Lots of chat and didn’t get to play crib in the end but it was a lovely and enjoyable evening.
Back to Vinnie and crashed out quickly.
A good and memorable day.
