Written by Those of you know that James and I know that we are not fans of dressing up in fancy dress, but last night we attended my cousin’s 60th birthday bash which was a fancy dress do on the theme “Strictly Come Dancing through the ages”.
In the spirit of Pammy, we gave it a go! She would have been proud of us I think.
We spent most of yesterday scouring shops for the right look but we ended up at the fancy dress hire shop.
James went as a Disco Stu without the afro – which he was quite upset about, and I went in 50′s rock n roll garb.
James had the full outfit – white suit, frilly shirt and the all important platforms – not his favourite bit of the costume, it has to be said!
It was a really nice evening and I got to catch up with Jo, Clare’s friend from France, who I met when staying with Clare, and we got to meet her sister who was really nice as well!
Mum got up as soon as the dancing started and was on the dance floor throwing some moves…well less throwing, more, erm, Mum dancing! But she enjoyed herself so that was good! In fact there was a nice family contingent there!
Happy Birthday big cuz!
However, I am trying to adopt a more ‘Pam’ style of living – we used to chat about a lot of things including my need to make some new friends and generally get out more. James and I spend far too much time on our computers and we should go out experience life a bit more. So, we have been arranging meeting up with as many friends as possible lately and we intend to make more of an effort full stop. Photos as well – we need to start taking photos of evenings out and places we visit – we hardly have any of our own of Pammy.
I was perusing the BBC Essex site while at lunch at work today, when I happened upon an article about a crash that happened on Monday night at 10:45 on the A1114, involving a 25 year old woman – well loads of them about – but driving a silver MR2. I instinctively thought “Pam’s got a silver MR2 – and she’s 25″. I immediately texted James as he’d been giving her advice the previous night about domain names. No James hadn’t heard from her. I hadn’t had a reply from the text I’d sent earlier in the morning. How could I find out?
