Reasons to Celebrate......

 
My brother-in-lawK had a big birthday and his daughter arranged a small surprise lunch party for him. This is him arriving and being totally surprised. 

Hubby and I were thrilled to be invited and had a really lovely time. We did however have just over two hours drive each way, in the pouring rain, which was quite tiring (and I wasn't the one driving 😅). 

Monday I had a mammogram, quite uncomfortable but over quickly, and I'm so pleased the NHS do these regular checks.  

It's sitting by the pond with strawberries and cream weather yaay! 

And another food picture! Last week I showed Hubby's belated birthday present from our children and now he's caught up with a very belated Christmas present from me...... an afternoon tea gift voucher! 

He would have been smiling had his mouth not been full. 

It was the Best Western Hotel in Bury St Edmunds. The food was nice and very fresh, the staff were fine but a bit elusive at times and although it was 1:30pm there were still leftover breakfast things on one table and the breakfast buffet table not cleared away 🥺 didn't bother Hubby at all so I didn't say anything not wanting to spoil his treat, but won't be going there again. 

I was expecting to miss our usual quiz night on Thursday. 

This is the online virtual pub quiz that started in March 2020 to entertain people during the height of the pandemic, and yes it's still going, and yes Hubby and I still enjoy it every Thursday evening from 8pm. 

We were going to miss this week's because Hubby and friendP had been invited by our usual Wednesday pub (oh we are creatures of habit) to join their pool team, and the first organising meeting was on Thursday. So Hubby drove to Felixstowe, picked up friendP, arrived at the pub to be told the team organiser is ill so meeting was cancelled. Hubby and friendP had a pint and a few games of pool and Hubby walked through the door here just in time for the start of the quiz. Still our usual rubbish score (another habit lol).

While playing pool with friendP Hubby mentioned he was about to do some fence repairs so friendP gave him lots of feather boards that he had spare (he's a builder), more than enough for Hubby's needs. Daughter came round Friday so she could go with Hubby to buy the capping rails (her car is much longer than ours). While they were out O made a cake filled with cream and tinned peaches for after lunch, it was yummy, but I forgot to take a photo.

Hope you've had a good week too.
