My lot

Celebration day 2. An odd start to the day with nothing much to do except wait, though I did make a couple of changes to the end of the slideshow. 

For some reason I felt very on edge which led to a contretemps about an iron, a last minute change of handbag (I'd picked up the black, not the navy blue version) Avec a decision to wear not quite the right shoes, though maybe they were the right shoes. 

#2 son gave me a lift too the Manor, in my car, and I was well early. Just as well as despite the clothes being put past in the spare wardrobe and the written instructions Mum still had the wrong ones on. Got that changed and chatted ton#3 son when he arrived and then got Mum out for the taxi. 

We were early but that didn't matter. Set up the slideshow and I sang along to the mixtape and then there guests arrived. 

I made a speech and we had a lovely meal and I wandered around talking to folk. The kids had a great time and the balloons were a great hit. 

I remembered at the end we wanted a group photo so furniture was moved and the cats were herded. After the meal and as people started to drift away the family ended up on the roof terrace with drinks. Luckily we got Mum in the way home before they rain started. 

I took a taxi home and bring back before the family had some quiet time to myself with Willow. But I'm too tired to sleep and my lower back is seized. 

Got to do it all again tomorrow.
