Night out

We had the Agency that we work for end of school year party last night. We arrived at 6.00 as invited to be the only ones there plus the agency boss. Just us and 104 bottles of beer in a huge ice filled wheelie bin. He had asked about 50 people including other branches and all day they had been ringing up canceling. There had been flooding and roads were closed. Soon others did arrive but we only got to eleven. A lot of bottles of beer and 2 of us were drinking red wine. P gave it his best shot with 7 but then had to give up. He had a go on a pub machine that a punching ball is lowered down and then you hit it and it measures how hard you hit, he won for our group, I did not have a go somehow don't think boxing is my forte. ( and for 1pd you only got three hits).
Today we went for brunch and by chance were in a cafe opposite the town hall so we had a lovely time watching the wedding parties arriving for civil services. Was quite tricky in one case deciding who was marrying who.....
Then the rest of the afternoon visiting shops and phone network companies finally found one that suits ( free calls in Italy up to 600 texts and 250 minutes talking) and new really stylish phones for free, but when we came to sign up we had no credit rating as we have not lived in UK long enough. Will have to pay Pd 250 each as a bond aarrgghh but think we will do that so that we can actually start to build a credit rating here ( we get it back in a year). Strange when we are paying them monthly you would think that was enough credit.

Then walked up white ladies road and had coffee and yummy lemon cake with Carlie at the Boston Tea Party cafe, very nice. At least 4 people there with the new Harry p book. Claire tells me that its very dark and in the three chapters she had read already people had died.
Tomorrow might go up to the Downs and watch the Polo. And start packing for Italy, need time to pack unpack and pack again.
ciao
