It has been a very good day, and also very hot! Skip kindly took me up to Morrison's where I was meeting Angie. It is walkable but my ankle is still sort so the lift was very much appreciated. Angie and I had breakfast and spent over an hour catching up on each others news. Then Anya and Isobel arrived and we spent the rest of the day together. Isobel is still going to swimming lessons and is in the second group in the main pool now. We went to M & S for lunch and Isobel started going through all the cards I had collected for her and putting them into the album.
Then we went off to the Key Theatre, there was a film showing of a live production of Peter Pan by the National Theatre. It was three hours long but there was an interval. It was really good and the way it was screened made it seem like you were watching an actual performance and not a film of one. Hook was female and Tinker Bell was a man, as was Nana the dog! So some twists and both funny and very entertaining. A couple of pictures of a very grown up Isobel at the theatre.
One more shot of her outside before we went off to collect Louis and go out for some dinner.
We picked Louis up and went to Ibrahimi's for dinner, still no trifle, but a very nice meal anyway. Then I went back to their place for a bit, Isobel got more cards put into the album, There isn't a page without at least one card, and she has a lot of swaps now and she has a friend at school who collects them so hopefully she will be able to fill a few more gaps. The cards aren't available anymore now. I looked through the holiday photos with Anya, sounds and looks like they had a good trip to Rome, Isobel's first time abroad and on a plane, which she really enjoyed.
Was back here about 8 pm and we watched Casualty, tissues needed for tonight's episode!
Going back to Scarborough tomorrow and apart from visiting the elderly lady I have know for years, will just relax with Rachel and the family. It is supposed to be even hotter tomorrow, so not great weather for making a journey, but I am sure I will survive. The ankle is still giving me trouble, but not quite so bad today, and haven't done a great deal of walking.
Sounds like a really nice day of catching up with people, interspersed with meals :-) By the way, I think that's Waitrose you were at with Anya and Isobel, not M&S. Ibrihimis's will think you're a stalker going twice in two nights :-)
ReplyDeleteThe showing at the Key sounded very good. I hope they had very good air conditioning in there!
Hope you manage a bit of relaxation before travelling home, and not too much hanging around for connections. You'll be watching a gorgeous sunset from your window in Scarborough before you know it :-)
The journey home was fine except being in the window in the sun! Had a really nasty sore throat develop last night so that didn't help. The air conditioning must have been good because we were fine and it felt hot when we came out!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely to see you hope that throat doesn't end up being anything more troublesome xxxxlove you heaps xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you all, Olivia is doing great, good to catch up with her. Thank you all again xxx
