On Saturday to celebrate Beth's birthday we had a party. Having earlier decided on a Superhero theme the weird and the wonderful duly arrived. It was great that so many people went to so much effort to join in, because it did seem at one point that Beth and I were the only ones that were keen!
Kel and Brett and Kate and Matt arrived early and helped set things up nicely, the lads even managed a trip to the ice machine down the road in full costume, much to the delight of some children who we waved to as we drove away!
It was a fairly cool night but Les came along with a couple of patio heaters to help keep the party going well into the early hours. They must have been kicking out some heat as Les didn't feel the need to wear much under his Braveheart kilt... I think everyone at the party was aware of this fact!!! Thank goodness he was wearing something even if it was a little skimpy! There was plenty to eat and drink and something for everyone. While some of the lads watched the footy out in the back room, singing sensations went to work in the living room while out on the deck there was dancing around the fire.
The Jim Beam was much in evidence again although the results were not quite as disastrous as last time!!!! ... just as well because Alfie was up an hour after we went to bed! He seemed to enjoy Mums birthday, lapping up all the attention and checking out what was going on. Luckily he was safely tucked up in bed before the superhero feats started!
Sunday was spent tidying up ... (between lie downs).... the debris left behind which strangely included several pairs of mens socks that had been enhancing some of the lads costumes the night before!!! ;0)
