Back to Life

 Despite the bursts of sunshine still being somewhat sporadic, it is definitely improving my energy levels when it does arrive. Although I have been paying more attention to my diet of late and trying to eat more protein and less sugar, which is probably helping too.

Anyway, it was an astoundingly busy week. At work I chair our Women in Technology International Women’s Day committee, and with it being the run up to International Women’s Day (which was yesterday if you didn’t know) we had a busy week of events planned. Talks with ladies on the leadership team, tea cake and inspirational discussions with a female business leader. It was all good stuff, and I’m pleased to say very well received. After having been in the office on Wednesday for one of the events, I met up with the chap and we went for dinner.

We visited a spot we’ve not been to before, the Corner Grill House. It’s in a lovely location, on a cobbled road near the river. The interior is lovely and we had a warm welcome. We had starters, then I had chicken supreme and the chap had beef bourginon. 

The food was ok. I enjoyed it and for a midweek dinner it was fine, but probably not somewhere I’d go for a special meal. 

The weekend rolled around, and me and the chap were off to a 40th party in Leeds. Time for the top I finished making last week to get its first outing, and it’s a good job I took this flatlay because I totally failed to get an outfit photo! 

The party was at a golf club, and it was a great chance for us to catch up with friends that we hadn’t seen in a long time. There was lots of conversation.

Bacon butties (or sausage or fishfinger) and wedges on the buffet, beautiful cake and dancing too. It’s was a fabulous party! 

I was the geek taking photos with my instant camera, I’m not sorry. I love these little retro prints! 

We’d had a fun filled evening for sure. The next day was mostly a quiet one, apart from little Miss feeling quite unwell, having picked up another germ at school. Hopefully just a small one that she’ll be over soon enough.
