Got suited and booted , put my slap on and headed out with the Mr to a surprise 60th at a pub they owned, got a lift of our son in law so armed with a a bottle bag with a litre of Smirnoff ( his tipple) and a card we opened the door to Eee Hello you two , what you doing in this neck of the woods?
Oh , just football on the tele so we called in for one
That’s nice , lovely to see you both….
Wrong day so I had to sneak the bottle to her and the card ,it’s on Sunday :0/
What was that I said about having a good memory?
Then he ( the birthday boy) said
Where you off to next ?
Oh just the Travellers Rest beside us ( we weren’t we were coming home as it was bliddy freezing)
Hang on , I’ll take you there as I haven’t had a drink yet,
Oh that’s kind of you said us
So we ended up going to the pub near us for one
Oh Dear , haha
Sounds as if it all worked out for the best! You didn't have a long walk home and you got out - with a cast iron excuse for doing it again! There are many would have sold their souls for that freedom last year. A plus point is that you will have gone down as a 'snappy dresser' for an ordinary evening out - 'fraid you'll now have to buy more clothes to keep up the illusion! :)
We won’t be going on Sunday Jourdain as she’s got a drag act on for him, that’ll be Mr Bs worst nightmare but he’s got our best wishes with a gift and a card ,we’ve laughed about when we came in and changed into our comfies :0)))
We ended up in a nearby pub the time my friend gave me details of the play she had booked for us to see at the local theatre, Bobbi.
Empty car park and empty foyer. The puzzled chap filing his nails behind the desk informed us the play was last night... :-(
Mind you, had I got the wrong day for the wedding to the first MrG I'd not have complained...in hindsight.... ;-)
It was a couple of hours out Gness, I can’t recall the last time we went out on a Friday night, I used to go to the village with the girls and walk along Front street visiting the pubs, everyone took the same route , there was only 4 of them , we ended up at the last one where they belted out 80s music ,it was great at the time but I’m a comfie person with a log burner now :0)
I asked his partner what was his drink as we didn’t want to go empty handed Pat,I was totally unaware that they were the actual licensees of the pub,last time we heard they were running a pub in Worcestershire, heard through the grapevine they’d come back here , the message on FB. from her was ‘If you’re seeing this then you are invited to Andy’s surprise 60th at the . Surprised alright, surprised they were said mine hosts x
