It's been a busy week
Monday was the fantastic, fabulous, Macmillan Cancer Support 100th birthday party celebration gala at The London Palladium. I loves me a good variety show, I do, and this was a glorious one. With John Barrowman being his usual wondrous awesome self, and Graham Norton being nice and funny, and the Nolan Sisters wearing head to toe sequinned pants suits, and a very bizarre medley from Jimmy Osmond (I don't understand why his piano guitar shot fireworks out of the neck, but I'm probably the wrong generation).
Tuesday, another visit to GOSH Scouts and Guides with my Brownies. My Brownies were impeccably lovely, joined in, helped collect patients, played with patients and were generally Good Eggs. We loaned out the Brownie magic carpet for a special promise ceremony. It was teh awesome. We also made stockings, gluing shapes together. Mine has not stuck properly and needs sewing, which means the machine will come out, and then I can re-hem my jeans (attempt #1 rendering them entirely too long....)
Wednesday was working late, and morris.
Thursday was working late, and the County Celebration Evening. There was a quiz. One team got 17/20, one got 15, and the other 3 teams got 14/20, and thus no-one came last.
Friday was Brownies. The last one in the meeting place, run by our Young Leader (Yay!), and they made Christmas decorations. We had spares for the leaders to colour in at the end (9 spares does not make enough for another Brownie meeting).
Today has involved rushing over to Islington for last minute Christmas Present bits. I need to get my head down in the next two hours before N comes over after football, and do stuff.
