I'm not ill or anything, but very tired, and warming up from a chilly afternoon.
We were at Nymans Gardens today; my brother and I have been organising a Celebration of Life event this afternoon (hence 10 bottles of Prosecco, 4 bottles Nonsecco, 5 cartons orange juice, 5 cartons apple juice inflating my grocery order yesterday - see my comment to SencoSue in yesterday's post!)
On the day there were 60 guests, some of them contemporaries of my father (who would have been 96 next month). He was involved in a number of local organisations and also had a massive interest in family history so we were an eclectic bunch of people.
It's 8pm, we've finally sat down, and ground to a halt. My brain has already popped up the low-battery warning and is seconds away from auto-shut-down.
Music
What else but Verdi's drinking song!
Pyjamas by 7:30 is not unusual for me. One just hopes no one will drop by unannounced:)
ReplyDeleteSounds like the Celebration of Life for your Dad went well.
Early pyjamas makes going to bed easier!
DeleteThe celebration went really well, thank you.
I hope you're feeling more rested now. Organising such an event is draining, in all sorts of ways, even though it was interesting and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI've had a very gentle day, thank you! Maybe a few too many crisps and chocolates and biscuits...!
DeleteI hope you are rested after your event. I always find large social gatherings exhausting, also you were celebrating the life of your father so there must have been an element of sadness. I did think so much Prosecco in your shopping list meant a celebration of some sort and was not a normal shop! Ah Pavarotti what a voice? I love your musical choices, thank you. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteI agree about large social gatherings - glamming up (a little! ) and chatting to so many people; one can only 'sparkle' for so long!
DeleteIt's good if it's possible to take it easy the next day!
