Friday night, Saturday Morning

Friday night, tap dancing again...excellent fun as Rose has seen my blog now...I took photos of everyone for the blog., but the one of everyone not very good, so just a few of the group in that main photo. Sue is back from her holiday and it was good to have my partner in crime there; also a brave man started- brave, the class is almost completely made up of women...also brave as we all are, as tap is very difficult- many people come and only last for a few weeks, Sue and I have been going since about Feb 06, and can just about do two sorts of time-step and about two thirds of the routine to Good Golly Miss Molly. Anyway that is the brave man in the picture- he was so enthusiastic and joined in with everything...bodes well for his future as a tap dancer!
After that, went home and watched some telly and had dinner, our regular Friday night takeaway from Sunlight Kebabs...lovely clean salad and grilled meat...no wine as not drinking while I go through lots of tests relating to my hip/back.
Anyway the weekend speeds by and before we know it, it's already Saturday morning...! a few grim moments, as I phone work to see if I need to go in... no - hooray the gods of Saturday duty smile upon me - Saturday is mine again, and I swing into the normal Saturday routine. Off to Putney to meet Phil, visit my dad and do his shopping- I enjoy this as well as visiting my dad, we treat ourselves to lunch and do bits of out own shopping too, as although Putney high Street is crowded and hassley, the goods on offer in the shops are of a far greater quality and variety than those available in Brentford.
The first thing we always do is have a coffee with my dad and catch up while we compile the list.
We get the coffee from a conveniently located Caffe Nero...after decades of coffee drinking, my dad has declared this the finest of any of the coffees on offer from the many outlets in Putney. I would agree. We do the shopping and have unch in Caffe Moomba which is great as it's on lovely Lacey Rd, I reminisce in a rose-tinted way about being a teenager and a shop there used to be there called Nimbus - Kate Butler and I think her mum used to run it...funnily enough I met her son and his partner about fifteen years later through some other friends; hi Sam and Fiona!!
Back home by 5ish and some all important violin practice- am slowly getting the hang of Pete Cooper's bow hold, in readiness for my second lesson with the master this Friday!
