A lovely lovely weekend

I am not even slightly sad that it is Monday because I am only working a 3 day week, and I also have Monday off next week. So in my mind it is already Wednesday!

I went out for a meal on Friday night with all my guys from work at an Italian restaurant and ate Calamari with olive oil, garlic and chilli. It was gorgeous. And I got drunk on champagne and then wine and whisky which was nice. Also discovered the pleasures of vanilla ice cream with crem du menthe poured on top - very refreshing.

Saturday was a fun day too, with lots of girly shopping. Found me a nice bridesmaids dress for Cat's Feb 2006 wedding which is long and straight blue with a bodice top and is very pretty. The material is kind of shimmery. Then lunch at All in Black and out again in the evening to town with Catherine for drinks. I had a mohjito cocktail (is that how you spell it?) at Laskas which was beautiful. Those and pina coladas are the best cocktails in the world.

And then on Sunday afternoon I had a nice lazy coffee at Christies with Susan, Rachel & Catherine which was cool because we all went to school together and hadn't met up in years. There were loads of drunken sailors in there who came and sat down with us, I think that was kind of my fault for encouraging them by talking to them about Remembrance Sunday. I must not be nice to drunk sailors. Then home for a roast chicken, TV and bed.

What a perfect weekend! I haven't had one like that in ages because we're been so up to our ears in DIY dust and filth. I actually managed a lie-in on Sunday as well.


I have also just booked Molly into a cattery over Christmas so she is going to have a nice break in a posh hotel as well. She is so friendly and ridiculous I'm sure she'll have a ball. Anyway she's had enough owners she knows how to adapt to new situations. I've never used a cattery before, this is all new territory but I guess I have to take her vets records along so they can check she doesn't have cat pox or something.
