We then spent the rest of the afternoon, and into the early evening, having fun in the garden. The kids ran around and played, the adults sat around drinking beer, ouzo, raki and (in my case) coffee and chatted. Graham did another fake tattoo on Steve’s arm. Paula gave Graham a fake tattoo to cover his real one, and even I had one!
Also Graham had his hair cut, and Steve had his highlighted and cut. This latter was a joint effort between, Jackie, Paula and Thom! 
At one point the kids disappeared next door to play with the kids there. Later the barbecue came out again, and we all had burgers and sausages.
Jamie really enjoyed her special day, as did we all. All in all, a wonderful afternoon
Brunch/Lunch/Barbecue
The brunch which turned into lunch, was great! Jan did us proud with Sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, mushrooms, etc., etc. The kids had stuff from the barbecue too. I think I ended up having third helpings! Yum yum. 🙂
Post Class Communion
Well, the class communion went well. All the kids really enjoyed themselves. The ceremony was very special with Father Grant making it very personal for the kids. It was also his birthday today, and the kids lead a round of ‘Happy Birthday’, which he wasn’t expecting. All the kids were presented with medals and certificates. Jamie looked beautiful!
The family is back at Graham’s now. Looking forward to our brunch (which has turned into lunch).
The Eminem Show
I’m just listening to The Eminem Show and chuckling away to myself. 😀 Very funny lyrics.
Quieter now
Things have quietened down now. We’re mostly sorted for tomorrow. It will be an early start — we need to get up at 7! Jan wants to be at church at 9:00 so she can sort some last minute things for the kids’ party.
Busy weekend
Another busy weekend. Cleaning the house this morning. Shopping this afternoon.
Tomorrow is Jamie’s class communion. We have to be at church at 9:30, and we’re having the family round for brunch at Graham’s house afterwards. Then Jamie’s got a barbecue at Finola’s house for Finola’s birthday. I’m not sure if we’re all going to that one.
Various other things to be fitted in too.
A busy Bitty day
A strange day today.
As I arrived in work there was a problem with the production system. So we spent a couple of hours scratching our heads trying to figure out what was wrong. In the end we moved the code over to the backup server area and it worked from there. It had to be an environmental/configuration problem but nothing was known to have changed 😕
I then spent nearly three hours doing a ‘quick ten minute job’! In between, I just seemed to be constantly responding to different request to ‘just look at this’, ‘can you help me with that’, and ‘can we go over this design for the other’. 🙄
In all a very ‘bitty’ day.
Still Poorly
Well, I still felt rough when I woke up this morning. But I had to go in work to brief someone before an important meeting. I needed to make sure that we weren’t taking on too much work for a new project with tight deadlines. But I wasn’t well and went home before lunchtime.
You know, it used to be that a cold didn’t make me stay off work. I guess its my age 🙁
