There was no way I was cancelling even though Alex double booked himself and I was faced with a 70 mile round trip to somewhere I was unfamiliar with, alone.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only people that I'd know would be two guys from work (who I don't know that well), who would be with their wives (who I don't know at all) and one of the other directors who has an unnerving twinkle in his eye sometimes (harmless, I'm sure!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I had a feeling there wouldn't be any sausage rolls to hand round.  Bugger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, only the 'chosen few' were invited from work so I couldn't really not go. Plus there was of course the chance to have a nosey round his house!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I arrived in the pretty little village...you knew where the party was!  All lights were off except in the one thatched cottage.  A knot in my tummy, I knocked on the door.  Greeted by Dave with the obligatory glass of scotch in his hand...Glenmorangie, at a guess!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A guided tour of the house and a bit of small talk later, I ended up the the 'red room'.  Low ceilings and a roaring fire, comfy sofa and a piano by the window, you couldn't help imagining its magic at Christmas time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a lovely looking lady sitting alone on the sofa - in her seventies, probably.  Had she come to escape the noise, I asked.  Such a warm smile greeted me and we chatted about all sorts.  Her husband joined us and decided 'if he was 40 years younger...'.  They really were the most delightful couple and enjoyed the company. As did I.  A few times, people tried to jolly me back into the the other room and kitchen were all the people my age and a bit older were, but I was having such a nice time, I didn't stay there long. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr &amp; Mrs N were worried about me driving home alone, and invited me to stay with them at their B&amp;B up the road.  They had a family room!  I declined.  They said that if I am ever passing their way, I must stop in.  I told them that I didn't expect to pass Mendip very often, but would certainly look them up if I did!  They kept telling everyone that came in the room that I was such a lovely girl.  Mrs N was telling everyone I could be the daughter she'd always wished for.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was all quite fun, and as they were Dave's parents, he was finding it a mixture of amusing and embarrassing and kept coming to tell me I didn't &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; to sit with them.  But I was enjoying myself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I gave them a lift to their B&amp;B at the end of the night, Mrs N gave me such a hug and a kiss, I thought I might pop!  She pulled me towards her again and told me that I was a beautiful and kind girl, and that she wanted to leave me all her diamonds!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, okay then!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not the night I expected at all, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  And I managed to be home by midnight.  Maybe parties are okay after all, if you are with the right people!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9824410-113190884115088898?l=littleblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://littleblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/113190884115088898/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9824410&amp;postID=113190884115088898&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9824410/posts/default/113190884115088898'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9824410/posts/default/113190884115088898'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://littleblogger.blogspot.com/2005/11/not-party-lover-at-best-of-times.html' title='Not a party lover at the best of times'/><author><name>littleblogger</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9824410.post-113190733359983825</id><published>2005-11-13T18:40:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-11-13T18:42:13.620Z</updated><title type='text'>I thought my memory was good</title><content type='html'>Until I found &lt;a href="http://www.rethinkingschools.org/just_fun/games/mapgame.html"&gt;this site&lt;/a&gt; bookmarked and tried it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, I got all the Stan's right which is still pretty amazing in my book!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9824410-113190733359983825?l=littleblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://littleblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/113190733359983825/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9824410&amp;postID=113190733359983825&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9824410/posts/default/113190733359983825'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9824410/posts/default/113190733359983825'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://littleblogger.blogspot.com/2005/11/i-thought-my-memory-was-good.html' title='I thought my memory was good'/><author><name>littleblogger</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9824410.post-113190569852855056</id><published>2005-11-13T18:14:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-11-13T18:14:58.543Z</updated><title type='text'>Just testing...</title><content type='html'>...as I wrote a few posts the other day and they didn't work&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9824410-113190569852855056?l=littleblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://littleblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/113190569852855056/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9824410&amp;postID=113190569852855056&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9824410/posts/default/113190569852855056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9824410/posts/default/113190569852855056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://littleblogger.blogspot.com/2005/11/just-testing.html' title='Just testing...'/><author><name>littleblogger</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9824410.post-112344229027542366</id><published>2005-08-07T20:13:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-08-07T20:18:10.276+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Down on the beach</title><content type='html'>I wish I had my camera with me today.

He woke up about half an hour later, joined me downstairs, put MTV on and fell back asleep on the sofa.  I have been messing around on the net.

They have been together since school and married for 10 years and they saw all their friends having babies and she was getting more and more upset with herself for being such a scaredy cat.  After a 10 minute conversation in the car, I reminded her that her folks are pretty well off and that she could always go for the 'too posh to push' option.  And within a couple of months, she was pregnant!  Such excitement, but in recent weeks, a bundle of nerves.  I hope it will all go smoothly for her.

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home&lt;br /&gt;only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was &lt;br /&gt;proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house." The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years Ihave been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.  Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell&lt;br /&gt;the flowers.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9824410-111289569753679416?l=littleblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://littleblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/111289569753679416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9824410&amp;postID=111289569753679416&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9824410/posts/default/111289569753679416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9824410/posts/default/111289569753679416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://littleblogger.blogspot.com/2005/04/hello-you-crackpots-x.html' title='Hello you crackpots x'/><author><name>littleblogger</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9824410.post-111199705821166711</id><published>2005-03-28T09:03:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-03-28T09:04:18.210+01:00</updated><title type='text'>DIY ahead</title><content type='html'>Well, after the nice man came to visit, we received a quote through the post.  £1075.

I saw an elderly woman walking her dog and had to do a double take to look again.  The dog was a black soft toy which she had on a lead which she was dragging behind her.  It wasn't even one of those motorised ones that 'walk'.  I laughed and phoned Alex.  He'd seen her before and knew who I was talking about.  Then it struck me as rather sad.  And today, thinking about it again, I decided that she is either clearly bonkers and doesn't care what people think or she has something wrong with her and believes this is a real pet.

And we were told that we were guaranteed to get tickets to the final. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9824410-110578878315539652?l=littleblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://littleblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/110578878315539652/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9824410&amp;postID=110578878315539652&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9824410/posts/default/110578878315539652'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9824410/posts/default/110578878315539652'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://littleblogger.blogspot.com/2005/01/big-brother.html' title='Big Brother'/><author><name>littleblogger</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9824410.post-110492879144885666</id><published>2005-01-05T13:38:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-01-05T12:39:51.446Z</updated><title type='text'>My thoughts were unfortunately correct</title><content type='html'>I have pasted this from a discussion forum I frequent, where I raised my 'what about other charities' question.

And today I have read on my mums site that she is thinking along similar lines.&lt;br /&gt;It has astounded me that the nation has been so generous towards the disaster in Asia.&lt;br /&gt;But I wonder whether that will affect other charities?  Will people feel they have done their bit for the year?&lt;br /&gt;Although I have been reduced to tears on more than one occasion, I have decided not to donate to this disaster.  I still cannot make up my mind whether this is the 'right' thing to do or not.  &lt;br /&gt;But I will continue to donate to cancer, childrens and ex-servicemens charities as I always have done.
