lolabobsI've had a very mellow weekend - Friday I met up with a friend and we went to see another friend's new house. It's two very old cottages knocked into one, complete with barn and buttery and has the potential to be gorgeous. (It's currently very much not, with holes and damp and slightly dangerous electrics, but I'm sure she'll get there in the end!) It was lovely to see her though (She's moved away,so we don't get to see her much, but it was nice to take the drive out there).
And afterwards P and I went and had chips, which we ate in the park before going to see the latest progress on P's house.
P bought her house almost a year ago and is able to remain living with her parents whilst working on it. Her house is going to be perfect when it's finished. I don't know if I would have had the patience to wait quite so long before moving in, but at least she'll have no DIY to do when she finally gets there - whereas I've lived here 11 years and still haven't painted my stairwell!
Friday I also managed to find a local 'timeshare' swimming pool, and booked a session for Tuesday evening.I haven't been swimming since before my op and I can't wait.
Saturday was fab too - we went to Bury, they have a new shopping centre and there's a beautiful cast war memorial (http://www.roll-of-honour.com/Suffolk/BuryStEdmundsBoer.html) which I wanted to photograph. I tried but the sun was in the wrong place so I wasn't fully succesful. I really need a new camera! Anyhoo, we set off early, stopped in a caff for a fried breakfast, wandered round the town and had an ice cream. Then we drove home via country lanes - then we found a lane lined with wild apple trees and bramble bushes and spent a glorious half hour clambering through the wooded areas, getting snarled up in brambles and scrumping apples! We finsihed the day with a cream tea at a converted village post office and it was all completely lovely.
And today has been lazy and relaxed, before going to my parents' for Sunday roast.
A pretty good weekend all told :)
