Celebrations of various sizes

Something very strange happened to my 'viewing figures' overnight, since 300 additional people read my most recent post. Since no one left any comments and it wasn't the most remarkable thing I've ever written, I can only assume that my sudden popularity is down to a technical blip. I expect I'll be down to more normal stats tomorrow. But hey: I'll take it!

I've done quite a bit of socialising this week. I began on Monday with coffee and counselling from the 'girls' I met through the National Childbirth Trust. Since the second social event of the week was celebrating the 26th birthday of First Born Son, you can tell how long we've been friends. The birthday was marked by pizza (natch) and a DVD - Toy Story 3, can you believe; but what a great film (sob).

That's my boy!
On Wednesday, I had a four-hour coffee with a yoga friend, and spent Thursday afternoon with another yoga friend (although we were also working, since we've been putting the finishing touches to the workshop we're running next Saturday).

I've done some work, too, honestly!

Have a good weekend, folks.

To be part of this blog hop, all you have to do is put your name on the linky list on Lexa's Blog, and then post every Friday about something you're grateful  for that week.

    I adore all the Toy Story movies! Your little one is so adorable! I'm glad you spent a lot of time with friends. They add more to our life than we ever expect. Enjoy your workshop, and I hope you keep getting those view hits - maybe you're becoming famous in some foreign country! lol

      Well, Lexa, my 'little one' is now over 6ft tall. As for fame, I'm not holding my breath.

    Not sure if I saw Toy Story 3. I may have to check it out. So Yoga and coffee go hand in hand? Sounds like a winner to me (smile).

    Sounds a good week. I loved Toy Story 3 and had a great lump in my throat!

    Friendships like that are truly special. Neat you've stayed in touch so long. Cute photo of your son. Bet he's saying something like, 'Ah, Mom, did you have to?' I embarrassed my son one day, posting a young pic :)

      I don't think my son has noticed! To balance this, however, I have changed my FB profile pic to one of me as a toddler.

    I sobbed at the cinema when I saw Toy Story 3, my three kids disowned me! Having a catch up with friends is such a wonderful way to start a week, I enjoyed a quality coffee morning with a friend on Saturday that boosted me for the entire weekend - of course there may have been shopping involved as well ;-)

    Hi Julia - someone replied to your comment on my 'Calender' post, thinking you may have once worked together at PIRA. I'd be interested to know if you did. http://patsy-collins.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/calender.html

    I had a random spurt of 700 visitors once, but no spike in comments. It's weird, but hey, it happens.
