Up around 8.00am and got a few things sorted before Tash and I headed over to Bicester for Theo’s 5th birthday party at the trampoline park.
The usual Bicester family crowd were there with the kids, along with some of Theo’s school friends. I joined in and, while it was hard work, it was really good fun. Nice to properly get involved rather than just stand on the sidelines.
When it finished, we took Tiff’s kids back to Sue’s. Tash caught up with her and found out more about what’s going on with Tiffany and the problems with her fella… not a good situation at all.
After that we came home, grabbed something to eat, and then met my mum up at Shotover for a walk and a catch-up. She did well getting round but was clearly in a bit of pain, so she’s going to get in touch with the doctors — sounds like it could be a hip replacement issue again. Fingers crossed it’s nothing too serious.
It was a really nice catch-up and we’ll do it properly later in the week. From there we went to Wayne and Kerry’s, as they’d had my office heaters since before New Year when their boiler broke down — terrible timing. Their boiler still isn’t replaced, but things are stable again, so we got the heaters back and I can finally work in the office again. Tash was getting fed up with me being under her feet in the house… fair enough!
It was good to see them and we had a cup of tea and a decent chat. So much going on with everyone at the moment.
Eventually we headed home, where Charl and Miles were already there and had made a start on cooking a chicken korma. Lots more chatting and catching up, and Lewis and Frankie joined us on a video call too, which was lovely. Frankie’s growing fast and seems much more comfortable on his belly now — we’ll definitely have to go up and see him properly soon.
Dinner was good, plenty of gossip and laughter, and we had the fire on which made it all feel very cosy. They didn’t stay too late as we were knackered and they’re off to Finland tomorrow, so we wished them luck, tidied up, and settled down.
We were desperate to watch The Traitors, and over the course of the next few hours managed to get through the final four episodes, including the final. It was brilliant entertainment — really enjoyable — and the ending was great. Very pleased for the two Traitors, Stephen and Rachel. Such an interesting concept and well played.
That was that. We stayed up far too late… especially with work in the morning.
End of Day Summary
A full, sociable day packed with family, friends, and movement — from trampolining chaos to quiet walks and long chats. Good connection all round, a cosy evening at home, and a late-night Traitors binge that pushed bedtime well past sensible. Exhausted, but content.
