Bluehook's Diary

I started doing this diary in June. If you haven't been following have a look at the Cast of Characters which gives a quick low down on the essential day to day characters who are mentioned here...it will make more sense if you do.

I got my car back this morning. That was great because it meant that I could escape. Been in the house since Monday without going anywhere and cabin fever was beginning to set in already. I needed the bright lights of Lampeter. Besides it was Party Day and we needed balloons and candles and toilet roll and potatoes and suchlike things.

Slowly through the day the house was prepared and cleaned and decorated and sorted out. I often wondered if it was going to get done but decided to trust that it would because if it didn't - well, so what. Curtains were put up with the hems pinned because no-one could find a needle. Could anyone have threaded a needle by then? Irene made dinner in the middle of all that and we had it with the first bottle of pink champagne and celebrated our achievement (getting the room painted in time). I was about ready for my bath when Heather arrived and we sat down and looked at lots of numbers which I've foolishly volunteered to set up in a spreadsheet and made some budget changes and a few other last minute alterations. Then I went for my bath. When I came down Heather was still sitting here having realised that something was not going to work and the knock-on effects that would have on the rest of the documents and calculations. Nothing is ever simple. Eventually we made it through to the party where the games were just starting including pass the parcel and a lengthy game of rizla head. It seemed like everyone left rather early but I don't think I got to bed till after 3.00am so it can't have been that early.
