a quiet weekend...

After the excitement of the last week with my birthday celebrations, this weekend seemed very quiet and boring!  Lack of money also helped in keeping us indoors.

Friday night, after dinner in the garden, we drove to Henley on Thames for a stroll by the river.  It was quite a warm evening and there were quite a few people around and boats moored up.  At one of the impressive houses on the little island in the river someone was having a "garden party" with a jazz band playing under the gazebo.  How the other half live!

Saturday was filled up by washing, a trip into town to stock up on Dan's supplies for the long walk followed by a bike ride west along the Kennet and Avon Canal.

After dinner in the garden we resumed our "slobbing" position on the sofas in front of a dismal Saturday night TV.

Sunday was another thrilling day of chores!  Another trip into town for more supplies for Dan (things he forgot the first time round), a trip to Tescos for our weekly shop followed by a blitz of the upstairs rooms in the house.

And now it's late and the only thing left to look forward to is Monday morning, back to work with a full week ahead!  :o(

Still it's pay day on Wednesday!  :o)
