I am having a very quiet day today - very quiet. I didn't even wake until gone nine this morning. I feel a little delicate but it was worth it!
It was our school ball last night and was a really lovely evening. The weather was beautiful - you always feel better when the weather is nice - and the venue (The Royal Bath Hotel on the sea front, one of the town's 5 star hotels) was lovely.
For the third year running we have sat with the same group of parents and just had a lovely time with them. The nicest thing of all was that Jakki and Gary came too. It was really hard for Jakki to come out with all her worries about her mom but she looked fabulous and I am so glad she came.
I ate (very rich food which has upset my tummy a bit) I drank (quite a bit which has contributed to the tummy) and I danced (in very high heels and my knee is agony today)
I thought I would share some pictures of us all poshed up. We scrub up OK really.
My quote for today is
Today I am thankful for
- memories of a lovely evening
- Quiet
You both look so smart and that dress is gorgeous on you. Sorry that you feel delicate now though

You certainly do scrub up well!
You made a lovely couple and looked so wonderful. I'm glad you had a great time, after all the hectic, hard work recently.
Have a relaxing weekend...

What lovely photos - can't wait to see how you decide to scrap them.
As usual life has been rushing by and I just realised that I was two weeks worth of prompts behind. I have downloaded them and when I get a moment I will sit and read through them - thank you for continuing with 52in10, I am finding it so interesting.
Toni :o)
