I had a lovely Easter break. I spent time with family and friends and relaxed. It was great :)
I am having a few issues with our wheelie bin. There are 5 other houses in our complex, and one of them missed bin day and put all their rubbish into our newly emptied bin. Then the next week someone stuffed so many cardboard boxes on top of our rubbish while the bin was on the verge, that the rubbish men put a sticker on it saying they wouldn't empty it. Then this week I brought our empty bin in and put it near our front door where I normally put it, only to find it was gone the next morning. There was a bin outside the front door of the house across from us so I went to have a look at the house number on top of it and sure enough it was ours! I quietly wheeled it back over and put it in the garage and shut the garage door. If it carries on I'm going to have to....do...something...but I have no cunning plan.
Chris and Sara and I went ice skating on Saturday night. It was such a drama getting there because for some reason instead of writing down the street names in his directions, Chris had written a random girls name. It took us a very long time to get there, and we very nearly just drove home (I felt a bit like the kid in the beackseat eating Tiny Teddies while Mum and Dad fight over directions...) but we made it in the end. I was really wobbly at first and didn't think I was going to be able to get any better, but 5 mins later I was zooming around with the rest of them. My feet and shin muscles(?) were killing me and after an hour and a half we went home. We managed to get lost again because instead of going back the way we came, we went back the way that had gotten us lost on the way there.
I just got home from visiting my Granny and when I was stopped at a traffic light a car pulled up beside me. It was one of the black, fully sick ones with all the trimmings and it was being driven by a tough looking guy with tattoos and a basketball singlet etc. I was listening to my iPod and somehow the music that he was listening to came through my speakers. At first I just thought it was a radio station and I heard the end of 'Hero' by Mariah Carey, but when it finished another Mariah Carey song came on. Then I saw the guy press a button and 'Hero' started again. I laughed out loud (LOL!) when I realised what was happening, and I caught his eye. He did the tough guy smile (upwards nod of the head with chin jutting out) and we drove off. It made me smile for the rest of the drive home :)
