Startled rabbits

I felt, yesterday morning, a bit like a rabbit in headlights. So much to do, so much to get out the way of, and yet I just stared at it. I managed to focus eventually, but I think that's the taste of the week. Busy busy busy, with a huge towering onslaught ready to sweep me away at any point.

Anyway, enough of that. The weekend. 'Twas good. Succinct enough? Ok, a bit more detail...

Three of our friends visited over the weekend. 2 blokes I've known since we were knee high to grasshoppers, and the fiancee of one of them whom we've known since they met. They arrived late on Friday, so after a quick drink (tea / water) we called it a day, and went to bed.

Saturday, with a forecast of rain, saw me wanting to BBQ. Good job it was a nice day! We went down to a local wooded playground for my daughter in the morning, and let her run off some energy. We'd gone through our usual stranger routine in the morning, (no eye contact, play with her toys) and the trust continued to grow at the park. When we got back the three of us men set about building the BBQ. Much primordial grunting ensued, and congratulations when we created fire! A couple of bottles of wine, many sausages, and a whole farms worth of chicken legs followed. in the evening we went to the pub and chatted about stuff. As always.

Sunday saw bacon sandwiches and a trip to another park. Ice creams in the sun followed a stroll around a lake. Little one got to play on the swings and have a snack. Once we got back we had a bolognaise and then they had to go.

A mad rush of shopping vacuuming and washing ensued, and by the time we went to bed we were pretty much sorted and ready for the week. (The last lot of washing was done yesterday, so it'll all be dry and put away by tonight).

We sat down in the evening and watched 'Son of Rambow'. A relaxing way to finish a pleasant weekend.
