15th March 2011

Had a lovely day today thanks to a best friend who i have known and kept in contact with since we were at Lord Williams School in Thame, when we both started there at 11/12 years old which is around 26 years ago.


Blimey Doddy has it been that long? Even though Doddy has moved about with her many colleage and university courses that she has done we have always kept in touch with each other, may be a phone call or a visit to her current place of studying. Then when she paid her parents a visit who still live in Thame, we used to meet up for a drink or two.

But she is currently living and working in Aylesbury teaching Art to 11-16 year olds (she is so brave) so we see each other more regularly which is really nice.

Doddy has been unwell for a few weeks so she has been signed off work so on my days off i have been paying her a visit. Yesterday she came over to see her parents so we meet up and had a spot of lunch and did a bit of shopping in Thame. Which was nice but it tired her out as she is still not 100%.
She brought a lovely painting for her sitting room from a new shop that has just opened in Thame. It was very nice and had all the colours to match her colour scheme in her flat.

We had a lovely lunch in The Six Bells in Thame which has recently been done up so the menu was new and different i had a brie and beetroot and rocket sandwich and Doddy had a Goats cheese and roasted pepeer toasted sandwich. Mine was very nice thanks very much Doddy.

Took Polly swimming but it was so warm by the pool side we had to move out why does it have to be so warm in there?

Went out with friends from work tonight, meet them in Wycome at 7pm but was a little bit late due to Phil getting caught up at work. We had a couple of games bowling which was great fun and we all had a laugh being split into two teams Pete, Langton, Tim and Me on one team and Michelle, Sue, Debbie and Steve on the other. A far split until Langton and Pete had to much to drink and they lost the art of playing and knocking down the pins. But all in all we all had a good evening even Martha who did not bowl just in case she hurt her back as she has ongoing problems with it, but she was playing games on Langton's phone which kept her happy and quiet!
