Where has time gone? Lewis turned 30 this weekend, he was down in Oxford on Thursday but was going to be back in Manchester on his actual birthday on the Monday which was a shame that he wasn't spending it with his family down here - but there we go!
So normal Thursday here for work etc and then they arrived about 5.30pm so they had a good run down - took Bess for a walk and caught up with things.
They announced that they're having a baby boy and did know about it some time ago but had kept it quiet.
Lovely to know and very exciting - Tash handed over the presents we'd got for the baby but now we know we can get boy things now!
We then had dinner and a nice evening.
Friday morning was Easter Friday so no work for us, I went out for a run - only for an hour and when I got back Charl was over and they were all waiting to open presents and have breakfast. Once that was done we then went in the hot-tub and then got ready and went out to Bicester as we had an hour booked to play Padel. We were pretty useless but Jack was fine and it was a bit frustrating as there were no quality rallies or anything, just messing about - but it was nice.
Back home and we got ready for evening meal and then got Mum and went to Beaconsfield where we had a nice booked at The Crazy Bear there. Tash got some champagne ordered and then we walked down the road a bit as we were in the Snug in the Thai restaurant and were treated to a 10 course taster meal. That was go good and really enjoyable. No rush and loads of food - a great evening.
We paid (£750.00) but that was fine as it would have been that much had we had a party or something so we didn't accept any money from people trying to pay us.
Along with the 30 year savings account Tash has been running and gave to Lewis (£5.6k) I think he's had a pretty decent celebration - although I do wonder how "appreciated" it actually is - there's never much coming from either of them, that's a lot of money to hand over. I don't know.
Anyway, it's done - hope they do appreciate it.
Back home and everyone tired and ready for bed.
A lovely birthday and decent day today, a shame they're going back up North tomorrow for other birthdays (not Lewis's) so he's not around on the day in question and we are not invited up there either. It's going to be interesting (or very hard) when the baby arrived to determine how welcome and comfortable we feel going up there - just hope we're invited!
