Family of Performers........

 
As you know Hubby retired from being a volunteer blood runner and their events manager at the very end of last year, so we were surprised when we were both invited to the AGM and bbq, the Chairperson thought Hubby would enjoy keeping up with the friends he had made. It was a lovely thought and a lovely afternoon but unfortunately many of the old faces weren't there and there's been a good recruitment drive so there were many there that he didn't know. Happy that the charity is thriving but we keep in touch with the close friends anyway so doubt he'll want to go again. 

Daughter posted a lovely photo on Facebook of them working hard as Tudor mistrals. Reminded me how tall O is now. 
Monday I went down the drive for coffee morning and Hubby took R to work, taking a little longer as he stopped at the shop on his way back. Thankfully I had some house windows open so we all heard the dog getting a bit upset at being left alone (been about half an hour by then) so I went in and brought her out on the lead to sit with me until Hubby could then take her for a walk. So with taxi, shopping then dog walking Hubby missed most of coffee morning. 

Had a lovely visit from a very old friend (he's actually my age and that's not old, he's a friend that I've known since high school/ youth club days, but you knew that's what I meant). FriendBG was seeing other friends in the area and staying overnight so called in here before heading home more than two hours drive away. Apart from on Facebook we haven't seen him since his son's wedding about eight years ago so a lot of catching up to do. 

R has been working hard every day and that has included lots of rehearsals for this year's Theatre in the Forest production of Macbeth with a cast of five professional actors and six actors from the Red Rose Chainers Youth Theatre. It's lovely to see them all get poster billing. 
Hope you've had a good week too. 
Stay safe as there's still a lot of covid around.

Yes, lots of covid around :-( . M says camera club folks all seemingly have gone down with it. He hasn't yet caught and Clo not had either and would be good to keep it that way.

8 years is a long time between meets. But so easy for that many years to pass.

No meals out! Other than BBQ which doesn't seem to count.

It was a lovely catchup, but our paths took us in very different directions.
