A fun filled weekend.
I class friday as weekend too. I finish work on friday morning at 8am and the moment i leave for home, its the weekend! And let me tell you, 3 days seem to go as quickly as 2 days when you're having fun!
Friday was self indulgent day. I walked the dogs when i got home then i more or less did what i do best.
Nothing!
Not strictly true. I made some chocolate truffles. Gifts for Christmas, apparently.
Well I'm gonna blame the recipe for the fact that they weren't as truffles should be. They tasted ok but were too hard. I think too much chocolate was used. So they're sat on the worktop, gradually diminishing each time i walk in the kitchen.
They are definitely not up to my usual truffle standards and therefore not good enough for gifts. And now I'm all truffled out and can't be bothered to make any more (or eat any more!)
Friday evening was a relaxed affair. Curry and Prosecco, TV and laptop.
Saturday was filled with dog walking, brain training on the laptop (playing mindless games, that is), and chatting with friends, before getting spruced up ready for the pièce de résistance of the weekend - the Rock Choir concert at St Lukes Church.
A wonderful evening singing, including a duet with Steve to 'Something Inside So Strong'. 'Merry Christmas Everyone', making it very festive and a glass of mulled wine and a mincie.

Our rendition of Don't stop me now, such fun to sing. And You're the Voice, always a favourite of mine ever since we did a flash mob in Southampton high street on a saturday lunch time. Loads more songs and i must say my feet were aching - new boots!!!
A swing band were also part of the entertainment, and they played some cool tunes to bop away to which looked fab cos we (the Rockies) were sat in the choir stalls.

The lovely Jenny Deacon, aka the red kitten from the Lounge Kittens, aka our choir leader, sang a set of 3 songs one of which was her cover of Lately by Stevie Wonder, the most beautiful song. She was amazing.
Its our last Rock Choir concert with her as she's leaving to become a full time kitten and the band are 'going places'! So it was all very emosh.
Sunday morning, after walking the dogs, i spent some time at a beading group. Thats not a sexual term by the way! I was making jewellery.
Followed by some chilling before the evenings festivities. Im out for dinner with a group of friends. Id better go and wash behind the ears!
