Dad and an 80th birthday baked potato party!

Pat is a regular at my aquarobics class and is an inspiration to us all. She is tiny and quiet but I can see her because she stands right at the front and I can honestly say that she does the whole class from start to finish. I wasn't letting her 80th birthday go by without marking the occasion with some fuss of some sort, so armed with a couple of banners and a couple balloons and with Pat wearing pink shiny deely boppers, we splished and sploshed with a few extra whoop whoops and several "EIGHTY!!!!"s, and then headed off into the cafe for a sackful of baked potatoes and a slice of cake.



Dad came too and being the only male in a room full of women, he had some fuss too.











Bearing in mind we had got out of the water a mere 20 minutes before these photos we don't look bad do we and the tayros look delicious too.(They were)

Dot took a particular liking to Geoffers who wasn't complaining....(she undid all his shirt buttons...)





Pat may not be a wild party animal but she enjoyed every minute of her party and has got a nice bottle of Pat's Birthday Bubbly to enjoy on Friday. Congratulations Pat, I love you to bits, have a wonderful birthday! (And when you've got a minute please let me know the secret to you being this fit at 80)(WOW!)



In complete contrast, Dad spent a morning with 3 year olds in my Keep Fit creche on Monday and he proved to be a big hit with them all, Freya taking a particular liking to him!
