Prohibited

So I’m off for the next week. Mark’s official holiday is just finishing and mine hasn’t even begun.

This weekend has been pretty good so far. Saturday we went out for lunch with my family for my dad’s birthday back in April. At the beginning of April he’d had an operation on his foot which involved placing a metal rod in his toe to straighten it out so he was unable to get out and about for his actual birthday, hence the late family meal. He still has the rod in there now but can walk about happily as if nothing has happened. The food was lovely, the company good and I was even brave enough to drive Mark, instead of the other way round!

Today after a luxurious lie in, we had lunch and Mark slept for about 2 hours in the afternoon. Then we decided to head off to the local cinema (me driving again!) to see Iron Man. It was actually a pretty decent film, considering I’m not a comic book fan or anything. I’d go see it again or even buy the dvd.

Tomorrow we are off to go look at cars again for me. Hopefully. I very much doubt I’ll find anything I like or want to buy, but at least I’m out looking and may possibly have a test drive. A very small possibility, but it’s still there!

So, a nice week off work for me and it’s not going to be relaxing and we’re not going to run out of things to do. I already know at the end of the week we are going to see Mark’s mum and spend the weekend there for yet another meal. This one to celebrate Mark’s 30th on Monday 26th. Bless him. Older but not necessarily wiser!
