This weekend we have celebrated Mr WFs 30th birthday. Some of his friends surprised him by turning up late on Friday night (you have no idea how hard it was to pretend that I wasn't at all tired at 10.45pm on a Friday evening!) and they had a glorious evening watching Red Dwarf, drinking a selection of educational ales and playing poker.
There was an abundance of old skool activities to entertain all (but mainly the boys) on saturday. We had subutteo (there was a tornament), an N64 (with GoldenEye and Street Fighter), swingball in the garden and, most excitingly of all, we had a candy floss machine. We also were entertained by a games the lads invented (throw stones from one end of the garden into empty plant pots at the other), which entertained them for a long time. We had readings of Dr Seuss (Fox in Sox read by Mr Knox). And finally, late night screenings of the Flight of the Navigator and Withnail and I.
What a delightful day! The low point for me is when I had a major wardrobe malfunction and came out of the toilet with the back of my skirt completely tucked into my tights. Fortunately, only one person noticed and immediately pointed it out to me (and everyone else in the room)!
The only problem with the delightful weekend is that despite 3 late nights in a row, I have not managed to sleep beyond 7am any day this weekend. I was up before 7 yesterday and had cleaned, tidied and mopped the kitchen by half 8. I was up at 7am again today. its starting to annoy me now cos I am shattered but just can't sleep.
