"Does the person have a visible parting???"

Yesterday I drove 'oop north' to visit my lovely friends. After an evening of wine and chat...and a good night's sleep until the x-box burst into life......we shipped off one of the kids to play at a friend's house and Sandra, my god-daughter Holly and I settled down to a day of chocolates and games. Well, to be fair Sandra and I had exhausted the thrills of 'Sorry' before Holly rose from her bed.

We played 'guess who' and the usual questions weren't helping me so I decided on the question in the title of this entry.....which then became quote of the day...followed by 'Aunty Suz hasn't even got one out yet' - which I hasten to add was referring to the game 'Sorry'. We moved onto charades.......I think it's safe to say Sandra and I aren't destined for the stage but Holly's one woman version of Jane Eyre was an Oscar winning performance. (word of advice, if you pretend not to know the answer the performances get more entertaining....especially when mermaids are involved).

Once the hilarity had subsided Holly started brandishing her new hair curling device. Holly had a head start of having lovely hair anyway and then had a face framed with raphaelite curls......sadly my fine short hair didn't end up with more than three unevenly spaced ringlets. Poor Sandra on the other hand was lucky not to lose a few inches off the end of her hair when the machine decided to do double time and scorched her hair into a matted curl. I'm sure we were sight to see on James' return. Holly and I then watched Mr Stink before dinner and then Sandra 'I don't really fancy a drink' and I demolished the vintage cava I'd won in a card game. Ended the evening watching a Queen top 40 countdown (the many faces of Freddie Mercury causing much confusion to Holly) and the Nick Berry video the Every Loser Wins.....

profound thought of the day "Happiness is not a destination, it's a way of life"
