Back to Norfolk over the weekend. Nasty drive in the dark and rain Friday (I really dislike those conditions now) and ironing most of Saturday. Bad decision to watch the Ipcress File over lunch. Most exciting bits were spotting the mini and the two Splitties. Film so dull that Pops fell asleep, I went back to ironing and Ma clearly found it more interesting to watch me iron than watch the film. Hugo was really good though. Not what I was expecting at all, and fascinating historical basis.
Sunday much more fun. Off to Hemsby hoping there would be enough wind. Oh there was!!! I clearly don't weigh enough. Must eat more pies. Not even Chalkie's brace yourself in a hole technique worked. Me and Pops were competing for longest butt track. Still, reassured now that the Kite Killers work! However I also learned that Pops is not someone to trust with your life.. was supposed to be holding onto me.. no, just lets go and watches me get dragged off down the beach.
Chalkie has spent the last two weeks playing Bingo! Nan was on holiday in a chalet, and he went down every night after work. He got over 50 wins and now plays 3 cards and has sussed out which seats win most! Between us we had enough for another Kindle (as they are on offer in Tescos, at least I hope they still are) but I feel a bit guilty about my pathetic 5 and a half win contribution.
Another 3 hour drive in the dark and rain to get home. Still, get to listen to Terry Pratchett book. And I probably get to do it all again soon, as bump clearly didn't want to be convenient and fit in with our plans.
