I had a great night on Saturday, celebrating a friend's 50th birthday, we stayed over too, so no fighting over who gets to drink!

Saw Spider-Man 2 in the cinema on Friday,standard Saturday and then it's been my goddaughter's birthday today which was nice. Slightly marred by losing my car key, starting an hour-long search only to give up,go to the party and find the key in the present bag. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

At least you didn't actually loose your car keys, that could have been an expensive weekend.

Oh indeed and just a tonne of time and hassle. I still keep having the occasional sneaking suspicion that it is still lost, which is annoying.

I performed at the Thamesmead festival so that was great, only to be followed by a phone call later that night about a loved one being in A&E which was... not so great. 7 stitches later she's OK now but Saturday turned into an impromptu 20 hour day for us all.

I also went to a friend's 50th party. We stayed in a local hotel. Was great to meet lots of new faces. Their new house was very impressive. My daughter had a little too much to drink and suffered the following morning. The birthday girl was dressed in bright pink and looked great πŸ‘

My son is teething so it was a loud and not at all relaxing weekend. When we were able to convince him to sleep though it was great, caught up with the Olympics and caught up with some sleep. Such is the glamorous life of a new parent.

Haha! (sorry, i shouldn't laugh), but i remember those days, i definitely don't envy you, but it will pass, my son was no trouble at all, but my daughter on the other hand, she somehow knew how to push my buttons!

Enjoy your sleep, whenever it happens!

Not much on Saturday. Sunday was a planned trip to the Sister-in-laws. It was going to be a roast dinner, then it was a BBQ, and finally downgraded to jacket potatoes and salad.

Both my sons are autistic, one more than the other. He was initially excited about the big temporary swimming pool that was going to be there. Sadly, it was a different pool to last time and the water smelt funny and to top it off, his brother pushed him in, which was the final straw.

I had to take him home to calm down and left my other son and wife to enjoy themselves. It was only a few hours and I had to come back and pick them up as my other son had enough.

And there's this saying, β€œAutism Rocks!” πŸ˜†
