Tis the end of endless night
After weeks and months of prep our dance went ahead yesterday and it rocked! We had 195 people in the end. We made about £500 on the Auction alone! We also had a silent auction and raffle, plus normal donations and entry for the musical statues. It was such a big night. I spent most of Sat morning and afternoon at the venue, blowing helium baloons etc. then partied the night away in my lovely fancy grey ball gown - which I bought from the Philippines and was really cheap! It feels I've been doing nothing but stuff for the event since christmas. I think I'll finally have some free time again! Rejoice!
In other news, I have joined a knitting group on Tuesdays and started knitting a scarf - it's going good! Am working my butt off at work. I've taken over a national award scheme so there's loads to do, and I have some research to write up.
Here's a pic of some of us on Sat. Unfortunately I didn't take many but this is one of the best.
Random Funny:
Once upon a time, in a nice little forest, there lived an orphaned bunny and an orphaned snake. By a surprising coincidence, both were blind from birth. One day, the bunny was hopping through the forest, and the snake was slithering through the forest, when the bunny tripped over the snake and fell down. This, of course, knocked the snake about quite a bit. "Oh, my," said the bunny, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I've been blind since birth, so, I can't see where I'm going. In fact, since I'm also an orphan, I don't even know what I am." It's quite ok," replied the snake. "Actually, my story is as yours. I too have been blind since birth, and also never knew my mother. Tell you what, maybe I could slither all over you, and work out what you are so at least you'll have that going for you." "Oh, that would be wonderful" replied the bunny. So the snake slithered all over the bunny, and said, "Well, you're covered with soft fur, you have really long ears, your nose twitches, and you have a soft cottony tail. I'd say that you must be a bunny rabbit." "Oh, thank you, thank you," cried the bunny, in obvious excitement. The bunny suggested to the snake, "Maybe I could feel you all over with my paw, and help you the same way that you've helped me." So the bunny felt the snake all over, and remarked, "Well, you're smooth and slippery, and you have a forked tongue, no backbone and no balls. I'd say you must be either a team leader, supervisor or possibly someone in senior management."
