Busy, busy

So my birthday week has finally ended! Having begun a week ago yesterday with a family tea party it ended in Slice on Friday night. Well, sort of ended. Husband cooked last night and there's enough for today too, so I'm counting this as still my birthday.

On my birthday, Wednesday, Husband cooked dinner for me. We had a 'posh' egg sandwich for starters. He said, "I tried to think what you liked but didn't get very often." And very yummy it was. Eggy on - not focaccia - the other one.

Then we had pie and chips! Again, posh pie, crab and prawn.

All very delicious.

Oh, I haven't shown you what Husband got me for my birthday. He presented it with the words, "Remember you didn't give me any clue as to what you might want!"

Two knives, a knife sharpener, a bottle of rose pesticide, and Maltesers. Romantic or what?

I did need a new knife as my favourite one was falling apart.

Thursday I was up at Rough Edges, our charity shop, again, trying to sort out what's worth keeping and what's not. We've barely made a dent in the shop while the back room is the sort of place you would run out of screaming if you were of lesser mettle. This shelf gives you a good idea.

Friday, what did I do? The morning is a blank but I had my hair done in the afternoon. Is there any place better than a hairdresser's mirror to bring you down to earth? While you're having your hair coloured or cut I mean, not at the end. There should be some damage limitation at the end.

Then it was off to Slice in the evening. Here's the taster menu we had:

I won't bore you/make you jealous with photos of all the food.

Saturday, a sort of frustrating day. One of the regular volunteers at RE is always going on about how much things are worth on ebay, so I messaged him and asked him if he'd like to come along and take some things and sell them for us. It transpired that a) we'd have to find a laptop for him to do that, and b) we'd have to show him how.

I was very restrained and didn't say what I felt like saying at that point so the conversation dragged on through the day.

And then it was the rugby. England beat the All Blacks so Husband was very happy. Wales beat Japan by one point in the last minute. On one hand, it wasn't an encouraging or inspiring game. On the other hand, it was a win, the first at home for many of the current team. Next week Wales play the All Blacks, the week after it's the world champions, South Africa. I'm anticipating three figure scores against us. Might just bury my head in the sand for a bit.
