A slightly warm house
Jane and I have been talking since we moved into this house about having a house-warming. Well we eventually got round to arranging a date, which was this weekend gone. We invited 12 or so people, suspecting that probably half of them wouldn't be able to come. Our house is fairly small and having more people than that would make life uhh, interesting ;)
We were quite pleased with the response, with 8 or so people responding positively. However, come this week, guests were dropping like flies. We lost 2 couples to illness, another couple of people to double-bookings, and one to forgetfulness. So in the end, we had David and Dawn turn up about 1530, with Lou & Al here about 1600 but they had to duck out about 6. So the house was warmed by us, Dawn and David. I guess in hindsight, the 1st weekend of the school holidays was bound to be a bad weekend!
Ahh well, we had a good time :-) There was beer, Pimms, home made pizza, cheese, crackers, and quite spectacularly random music thanks to both Spotify and David. It was great to catch up with D&D - it's been a while since I saw either of them. I think we worked out that it was January at Rachel's birthday party.
This means that it's our turn to visit them next! Best get planning!
