Same as before but from the other side of the table.

Steven's socks drying.
He took them off because they were so wet.

Now much as I have praised the November sun, it simply does not have the bake factor of a summer sun, and they remained wet.
Personally I would have worn them, knowing my feet would get used to it. But he earns enough money to wear shoes without holes, so the phenomenon is unfamiliar to him. After lunch we went straight to one of the drying booths (£3!) and I held one of his socks up to an air vent, and the other to a heat lamp. For the curious, the heat lamp worked better.

Wonderful photos. Girl, I love the hair & you have been losing weight, too. Looking quite the hottie

DanaC · 11-19-2012, 02:11 PM

Yeah, Sundae, you look fucking great. Love that hair colour. And I really like those jeans too.

Sundae · 11-19-2012, 02:30 PM

Aww, thanks chaps

Sundae · 11-25-2012, 02:01 PM

So.

This is a bit like the stories you wrote when you were ten.
Detail, detail, detail then you ran out of time and finished it off in one sentence (but never coming out of a shower it was all a dream because that was lame even then)

We redid all of the major rides. Or at least I did.
Ste went on most of them again, once he had his stomach back under control.
I have no photos of the minor ones... just because they fit into the landscape and I didn't think this through. Would love to go back and take more pics and so write less words, but I'm getting this out of my system enough I reckon.

Bar/ restaurant mid-afternoon. Ste had gone to the loo. He was gone ages, so probably a poo. What? I've had to hang around the Gents in many insalubrious places because of this. So I sat and checked my photos and gloated over my official ones. Trust me. You would not get a seat in this place on a hot day in August. They sell beer. The bar alone would be five deep.

Bye-bye park.
Twilight in Thorpe Park.

Cool trip !!!

You closed the place!

My Christmas card from the kittens.
Wow - they're looking big to me now. Can't wait to shed this cold and see them.

I have heard that Abs is actively looking for a place every fortnight on the system I use. She will only be allocated a two-bedroom place though, so we're not in competition. Also she is in a much higher Band than me - technically where she lives now is overcrowded, whereas I glory in being in a three-bedroom house with only three people in it. They don't count the dervish that is Diz - strangely.

Just an update on Christmas as I wasn't really in the mood to write about it over the festive season. It wasn't bad, I just didn't feel great for most of it, and it was a quiet affair.

Dad bought Mum a present and card, hid them and couldn't remember where.
I think the Gran Marnier turned up before New Year and the card yesterday or the day before. Lots of mentions about it of course. Poor Mum, what with that and me breaking her camera she was feeling a little un-jolly. Still, she is pleased to have her daughter back apparently, so I must be doing something right. Or not doing wrong

My parents and sister bought me clothes two sizes too large. I mean I get that Laura never sees me, but I live with Mum. She only bought them at the beginning of the month. Still, not to be ungrateful, she took them back and we got ones in the right size. She's been shocked at the baggy falling-apart knickers I've been wearing so it was a kind gesture.

Took the t-shirt from my sister back to Tesco, got a fab pair of wellies decorated in a peacock style. I've written here somewhere that I wanted some flash wellies but couldn't afford them - now I have them all ready for the snow (if I buy them, will it come?)

Photos - me with a Mona Lisa smile. Dad was taking a photo of the laid table but I had a suspicion I would end up in the frame.

Our table card

Sundae · 01-03-2013, 02:06 PM

They provided crackers, party poppers and hooters on the tables. Every now and then a table would set up a volley of hoots.
Dad loved it. When our neighbours turned up Dad went over to their table to blow his horn at them.
We even brought them home and for a few days he would blast one out from the kitchen just for fun.

I left early as they decided to have liqueurs/ liqueur coffee and anyway I was feeling bloated. So I walked round the windy park before heading home. Mum says as he left the pub he tooted his hooter all the way out of the door, which garnered a response from the noisiest tables. Perhaps underneath the shyness I am my father's daughter after all. Or maybe it was the whisky

The second pic is the table as they left.
Not much to see as the staff were very good at removing empty plates.

Sundae · 01-03-2013, 02:09 PM

Blurry photo of Mum and Dad - I caught the napkin with the auto-focus.
I have to get used to this camera, it's the one Dad's given Mum to replace my old one.
Once I've learned it I have to write her a crib sheet!

glatt · 01-03-2013, 02:21 PM

Excellent!

I want to see a picture of you splashing your way through a puddle in your peacock wellies.

DanaC · 01-03-2013, 03:07 PM

That's a lovely photo of you with the Mona Lisa smile. You look so classy.

limey · 01-03-2013, 03:10 PM

Lovely update! Enjoy the wellies!
