Who'd A Thought It

5 Things I Wasn't Expecting This Weekend

1. I wasn't expecting not to lose at bowling

Stephanie organised a bowling night out to All Star Lanes in Holborn on Friday night. It's tres chic, with a great bar, only four bowling lanes and quite new shoes that not that many hundreds of people before you have worn. I did suck, but not quite as much as I expected. Today my right inside arm, right knee and left butt-cheek are aching just a little from the repeated bend and swing motion.

2. I wasn't expecting to be in St Thomas's A&E until 4am on Saturday morning

Unfortunately, our decision to go to a club after bowling ended in disaster when Hanna slipped in a splilled drink on the dancefloor and slashed her hand on the broken glass. I switched into bossy Virgo mode and had her swathed in paper towel with her hand up in the air within seconds, and someone ordered us a cab to the hospital. There was no way I was going to leave her alone in A&E on a Friday night. For one thing it was too interesting. The doctors were very nice when they finally saw her and said they appreciated seeing at least one person that night who wasn't drunk. She is in hospital today for a minor op on the nerves. Yuck!

3. I wasn't expecting someone to drive into the back of my car

Fortunately I wasn't in it and they did leave a note. Annoying, but it did make me realise one thing. Many people criticised my decision to get a Grey Toyota, but if I had bought a more desirable car then I'd probably be a LOT more upset about someone ramming the back of it.

4. I wasn't expecting to get woken up by foxes doing it outside my window

Indeed. Probably the less said about that the better.

5. I wasn't expecting to finally make a new post

I know! It's incredible. I think I've been so busy that I've had a really hard time narrowing anything down to just 5 things. Finally, I've had a weekend uneventful enough for me to break it down. The blog is back (again).
