pauln1964Quit work a little early on Friday and dropped ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pennyanne off for her girls' night up in Sadly Broke. Spent several happy hours playing Final Fantasy VII and a bit of The Sims, before picking her up. Late night chat with the two or three girls remaining before taking a tipsy girlfriend home. Bed at 3:30 ish
Saturday: I woke up at the usual 7:30ish and read for a couple of hours while P slept.curlwomble and nortysarah turned up shortly after noon, followed by Matt and a few locals. Much fun boardgamidj through afternoon and evening, interspersed with a visit from bitofstuff with Definitely Thomas, who was made much of. After that the expected appearance from snoj brought Jack and a Surprise Chalkie. Good fun, though 9 people is possibly a little large for a game of Bohnanza. When most had left, the 5 remaining played Puerto Rico, drank good wine and chatted until a bedtime of about 3:30
Sunday: I woke up at the usual 7:30ish...
Bacon and egg rolls for breakfast. More games, including Mah Jongg. Pen's excellent shepherd's pie feeding 7 of us. Womble andcoallump each deciding to stay the night - more games, chat and good wine. Bed at about 2:30
Monday: Guess the time of awakening.
Various chilling and chat before people left, then up to my parents in the afternoon evening to be fed, and spend time with them and with AdorablenieceTM . Back not too late.
Up early again Tuesday as Pen had to work. Spent considerable parts of the day chasing progress with estate agents and solicitors. We want to be complete by 30th April so we can move over the bank holiday weekend. Our vendor has an empty house she wants to sell as fast as possible. Our purchasers want to be moved in to the flat as fast as possible. We may not make it, for one or two reasons (flat survey only happened last Thursday, work between exchange and completion takes a little while I'm told). I've reiterated to everybody what our required date is in strong terms, but we may have to slip by a week. We really can't go any later than that or we're too close to the wedding.
Back in work today and struggling for energy and enthusiasm.
