Roman Roots Part 1

Got home from work today to find Gemma with a new car. I don't mean new as in brand new, I mean new to her. She's done a straight swap for her VW Golf and got a soft top instead. She seemed pleased with it but we didn't have that much time to talk as she was just on her way to work. When I got in the house, Andrew was sat in the front room having a drink with a work collegue. Now I don't profess to be the best dressed person in the world and neither does Andrew but this guy looked like a Union Jack. He was wearing white trousers, white shirt & a red, white & blue tie in the widdest diagonal stripes you've ever seen. I know it's awful but I had a job not to laugh. He seemed such a nice person too. Lisa came downstairs when he'd gone and asked me who he was and, I quote, "What the hell was he wearing"??? LOL!
It's Elena's big night tonight, I've scanned the poster :O) I bet you can't guess what the weather's doing {rolleyes} raining for a change. I tell ya, we'll all be sprouting webbed feet in a bit if it doesn't stop soon. I'm praying it's dry tonight just for the drama groups sake. Picked Elena up from school, otherwise she would have been like a drowned rat. "Guess what", she said, "I thought it was sports day today and it wasn't, it's next week!" She had gone to school this morning in her PE kit but had luckily taken her school uniform with her. She didn't seem bothered and saw the funny side of it, so we both laughed :O)
