Sue's Blog - Some assembly required.

Well...........

Firstly..........I had an experience I have grown unused to.
We took Alan to a restaurant that we hadn't been to in quite a while.
The very nice server asked what we would like to drink.
Alan and Philip had diet cokes ( I think) ...I asked for water.
The nice waitress said....."What?"
I said, " Water"
She said, "What?"
I said, "Water"
She said, " I am sorry I don't know what 'volter' is."
"WATER" quoth I.
"Oh...you mean waaardeeer.". said she.
"Yes." I conceded.
Even after all this time I am still amazed when people here cannot understand me.



My posts with the Fashion Show made me nostalgic for some old times and old friends.
Here is a picture from when myself and colleagues from a certain educational establishment used to have some wonderful 'Murder Mystery' dinners.  I see that wig has turned up again.
Oh they were such fun.
They were set in various times....the one above was 60s I think.
I worked with a great bunch of people.
The guy behind me with the bow tie was one of my bosses and the guy with the white tie was head of music and we still phone each other every week.   We did get together away from school.  We went to London to see shows, in the school mini van which was a complete nightmare.  I am so grateful that I was part of that as I don't think it happens so much now amongst school staff.  Such innocent fun.


This one I hosted at my house in Kingsnorth Kent.  I think this was the first one.
Zorro was there and various spies....I am not sure how it all turned out.
It was just a lot of dressing up and fun.


Lord knows what was happening here.
I think I had to wear this hat and then everyone threw sponge balls at my head.
It probably made a lot of sense at the time.

I will find some more...........I expect.
We don't seem to do a lot of socialising now.  Maybe we are getting old or maybe it is just too bloody cold.  Who knows?
