Gill headed off to Manchester today to visit with Kath and Gary who have recently moved up from Enfield. Gill has know Kath since their days together at North Staffs Poly and they have kept in touch ever since. Well when I say they’ve kept in touch it has usually been at either mine or Gary’s prompting but, hey, that’s women for you. Gill is taking advantage of a week or so’s holiday to make the visit for a couple of days. It will be nice for them to get together for a good old chin-wag because it must be about 3 years since they’ve met in person.
The holiday has been taken in order for Gill to have some time to come to terms with turning the dread four-o on the 17th. I get the distinct impression she is not fully looking forward to the big event but there are some advantages to becoming an old git. We spent Saturday morning in Newcastle perusing jewellery in Richard Sintons as an attempt to purchase a present from me and by Jove I think we may have cracked it. Not that Gill knows what she is getting, although I’m sure she has a good idea, but an order has been placed and hopefully we will have it before the 17th.
I’ve also taken a few days holiday as part of my phased return to work so hopefully we will be able to get out and about a bit. The weekend is pretty much spoken for with the Cumberland Arms in Byker having its annual Organic Beer Festival and a meal planned on Sunday evening with Gills family so it could be a hectic few days.
