Dancing the night away

On Friday the staff from the base went for our summer term night out. I was very tired and didn't really feel like going, however I had offered Chris a lift so I went in. It was in O'Neill's in Merchant City. It turned out to be a great evening, everyone was in good form and having good chat. The highlight for me had to be the dancing; there was a band who were quite good and I went up to dance with Catherine, then everyone joined in. I had forgotten how much I love dancing, it makes me feel very free. When I was a teenager I used to go dancing a lot, and when I started going out with James we sometimes went to discos but James hated it so we stopped going. However when we were married and when the children were little I still used to put on music and dance around the house all the time, and I don't remember when or why that stopped. Anyway I loved last night, it was so fun and we had a really good laugh. Today I had lunch in Windows restaurant with Maggie, Helen, Libby and Wendy. As usual it was a pleasant and relaxing lunch with these lovely friends, we have all known each other for about forty years! We can talk about anything, we have all had our ups and downs and have been there for each other during them. Then I came home and started my packing for the holidays!
