Time to catch up after a busy ol' four days.
Thursday
Gig time with Nicky at the Hug and Pint to see The Musicians of Bremen. Nicky works with the drummer who happens to be a throughly decent chap. As for the band, my god they can bring the noise. The Hug and Pint venue is basically a cellar and when you bring in a three piece rock band, it feels like your standing in the middle of a thunder storm. And it was totally incredible. It was my first gig out in while and a) good to hang out with a mate and b) great to appreciate a live band giving it hell for leather.
Friday
A lovely night had with our pals Amy and Rich who came round for (slightly more than) a few drinks, some chat and tunes. Grace and Anna were also the beneficiaries of gifts in the shape of chocolate eggs! Anna also got a new audience for her Stranger Things obsession and some mad dancing before bed time.
The evening's activity however did lead to a slightly hungover...
Saturday
Where I spent the first half of the day (a joyous FOUR hours) on Red Dead Redemption 2. I eventually dragged my butt up to take the girls shopping for new outfits. Anna also delightedly struck the jackpot at the Kilbryde Hospice's shop tombola with another easter egg, while Grace got some sympathy cream eggs from the very nice volunteer staff.
And today, we went down-home on Kittochside farm seeing the beautiful wee lambs, calves and horses (we missed the piglets today 😭). Going up to the farm is always a pleasure and I think it's important for kids to see animals up close and understand what purpose the animals serve; from producing milk to providing food. But my god, it was very tempting at one point not to scoop up a wee lamb to take home!
