Shattered

I have just got back from a 160 mile round trip to drop off a motorcycle we have sold. Last night I went to the pub after brownies as we have now broken up for the summer. I spent the weekend on Pack Holiday with 20 brownies not from my pack, at a beautiful house on the North Yorkshire Moors.

To say that I am tired is an understatement.

I picked up my wedding ring from the jewellers yesterday, and it is very lovely. Fits perfectly, far too snug to have to worry about it accidentally coming off my finger. I have also been in touch with the hotel/restaurant we are planning on having our reception in, and the registry office. I wish booking things was more straightforward. 

Would I be asking too much of my reception venue that they allow us a choice of meals for 26 guests, provided we pre-order? I wouldn't think it impossible, but it seems to be an issue. I really don't want to have to dictate what 26 people eat, it just seems wrong.

Anyway, I must get bathed quickly and get to bed. Night x

Last night, She said....

I am a rubbish blogger.

Thursday - Rock pub. Good night, saw Abandon Earth and Property of Dave. Enjoyed them both, although the other band were quite pants.

Friday - Stayed home to have new kitchen tap fitted and inspection from letting agent. Had barbeque here with K and D for dinner.

Saturday - Did not stop. Dropped 125 in for MOT, which it failed. Helped S with sheep. Found out my welly has a hole when I stepped in a water filled tractor rut. Bathed. Went to Brownie Giant Sleepover at indoor play barn. Played and crafted lots. Kept up til 2am. 

Sunday - Up at 6.30 (got to make brownies super-tired) to play some more. Wash large glob of toothpaste out of small brownie's hair. Head home. Bath. Travel to Mr SC's Aunt and Uncle's house for Father's Day barbeque. Sleep in car on the way there and back. Early night.

Monday - Work. Brownies. Dinner. Blog (badly.) Early night?

Promises, promises.

Apologies for the break in service. I was 'sans flaptop' over the weekend while I attended a guide training weekend, and then was simply to shattered last night to post.

I had a great weekend, learning lots of games and songs to play and sing with the brownies, as well as making lots of friends and realising that I need to make the most of the next 15 months in guiding. There will be a lot of chances for me to do great things in that time, some of which may never occur again. In between training, I managed to help solve a murder mystery, barn dance, make a two course dinner and a tent complete with sleeping bag for a Sindy doll, perform a dance to an Abba song, walk in the grounds of Waddow Hall and eat far too much food.

Sunday evening we went out with our neighbours S and J. They wanted to take us out to thank me for helping with sheep shearing earlier this year, which was really quite lovely after only getting back from training around half 4. After work on Monday there was only time for brownies and dinner before bed.

Today was a good day. I was busy at work which made the day go nice and fast. I came home and have had lots of nice hugs from Mr SC. We had sausage and garlic mushroom toast sandwiches for dinner, and I have been enjoying a glass of wine.

More interesting post tomorrow.

Manic Monday

I took charge of my first brownie meeting this evening. It was good, although hectic, and I feel much more confident now. I think I need to be stricter with them about time, and I really need to learn more games and songs to do with them. Now I just need to get a move on with the paperwork before the end of term.

I found this website today and wondered if I could fit some to my little Subaru Justy. I need to learn to use photoshop.
