Fruit platter


At work this week we had little kiddies over from the local primary school, to sing and dance for the service users. At half time we offered them plates of fruit, and what was left was offered to me. I had a great platter of all sorts and was excited. I put it on my desk, but obviously not properly because it promptly fell off, upside down and the fruit went everywhere and I let out a little swear. I was gutted especially as the raspberries and blueberries were so delicious! This is Anna 'helping me' to clean it up as I was too busy taking photos for this blog! Lol. Thanks Anna.

Had the best day ever yesterday. My colleague, Kelly, organises a monthly community event called Boogie in the Bar. Have I mentioned it before? Free to anyone and especially those in need - care homes and elderly, folks living alone etc. We offer hot drinks, sandwiches and biscuits. This month's theme was St Patrick's Day. The hall was decorated and we wore those big hats, the band played some Irish ditties too. The bar was busy so I helped Anna, yes the Anna from the paragraph before. First time in almost 3 decades that I've pulled a pint. I still have it though! Enjoyed the afternoon so much. I recon I could get a part-time job in a pub! Loved it! And the hall was full, near capacity. Kelly does the most amazing job! 

Today I'm in Glasgow with Ellie. We've got the theatre tonight.'Woman in Mind' with Sheridan Smith and a nice stay over in Malmaison. We're going to have a great mother daughter stay celebrating Mother's Day. Then Saturday morning we fly from Glasgow to Birmingham. It's my nephew's 30th birthday - Happy Birthday James. Mark is also flying back to Birmingham after his snowboarding week in France. Then we'll drive back up the road Monday. Just a lovely few days with family. Feeling blessed. 

Have a great week everyone and thank you for reading.
