Friday night Mr Fink's relatives on his maternal side gathered for a meal to remember Astral's birthday, it's been 2 years since she left us but I do think about her a lot. We have a photo of her on our sideboard and often if I'm in a mood or dilemma I'll look at her and wonder what would she have done? Such a gentle, warm lady, I'm glad she touched my life.
On Saturday Nelly and I headed off to Axemanrj's house for a photosession in his 'mancave'. He was brilliant, putting us both at our ease, it's not that easy to look and feel natural when he asks you to make a 'gangsta' pose in your silliest hat! He has taken some beautiful pictures and I can honestly say, if you receive a golden ticket invite to the mancave, snap it up as soon as it's offered!
On from the mancave, we hit the paternal side of Mr Fink's family, running. A beautiful family gathering including 7 'Mrs Finks'. Wow! The food provided by Nanny S was outstanding, the highlights... as always, the lasagne, salmon en croute and coronation chicken. As Len off 'Strikly' would say, "yum yum, pig's bum".
There were babies to squeeze, little ones to chat to and big kids to play board games with, not least of which, Nelly's guessing GWTBO's mime of 'snake', as 'bitey foot fish?'
Where was Mr Fink during all this? up in Cheshire with his chums from JuJitsu, he had a terrible journey there and an equally awful one back but he had fun with his buddies.
Now there should just be time for Nelly and I to get over this horrible lurgy in time to enjoy the festivities.
