Partaaay!

I was delighted to be invited to my god-daughter Jennifer's 18th Birthday party in a hotel near where she lives. First we had a delicious meal with the Black family at Heather and Ewan's local Indian restaurant. We have been there two or three times before and it did not disappoint! I was very hungry because I had been saving up my calories all day so that I could indulge myself. I hadn't seen Gail and Ian for years so it was nice to see them again, and we met their two very pleasant and well-mannered boys, David and Craig. Andrew was there too and his wee cousins clearly look up to him and enjoy his company. It was also great to see Ewan's Dad again; he reminds me a lot of my own much-missed Dad; just a lovely man. Replete, we set off for the party venue. The party had already started but numbers were small because it was still only about 8.30 p.m. and most of the young guests would be rocking up a bit later. Jennifer looked absolutely stunning; dressed in a little black number with her long blonde hair and perhaps the longest legs that I have ever seen! Her friends looked beautiful too but I have to say that Jennifer stood out from all the others - she is gorgeous. She was very happy and gave us a big welcome. We were gratified that the music in the first part of the evening was well known to "our generation" and soon we were up bopping away to all our old favourites. I was glad that my pupils had taught me how to dance Gangnam Style when we were at Inverclyde. The party goers seemed like a very nice crowd. Ewan's Dad did a really impressive amount of dancing for a man of eighty and even invited all the ladies at our table, including me, up for a dance. We had a great evening and most importantly so did the party girl.
Later on the music changed to a more modern and much louder sound and the numbers increased dramatically as more and more young people arrived. This was the cue for us to leave! We went back to Heather and Ewan's for a coffee. A splendid evening!
