    So yesterday was an interesting day.
    Lightening was well , awesome if scary.
    Torrential rain.

    I was going to a friends for dinner.
    So I picked up another friend & off we went.
    Got there & friends whose house we were at insisted on me taking my car home & she followed me down & brought me back to her house.
    She had got some lovely gin for me & wanted me to be to be able to have it.
    We had a lovely meal & a lovely night.
    A tad fragile this morning!

    Afternoon Beanie :) Sounds like a lovely evening and what a good friend to have. I'm not a big drinker but I do find a G&T really refreshing. Hope the fragility wears off as the day goes on :D All that was said in a whisper :rotfl: xx
