Today is Friday March 13th.

We did a tip run this morning, disposing of some heavy attic boards no longer required, so it was a very careful drive due to the pot holes en route and not wanting to damage our suspension!
The tip was packed, and we had to queue to get to the section we wanted, so although we tried to be considerate as we waited, traffic was backing up behind us as it’s a one way system and the bay we wanted was near the exit.
It took about twenty minutes to unload, then we went into town for coffee.
It was market day, so parking was difficult, though we found a spot not too far away from the coffee shop.  Oh, it was so welcome!

Hello and welcome to Fibbing Friday where I’m inviting you to be outrageous, silly, cheeky, or whatever takes your fancy (as long as you keep it family friendly). Fib your socks off when answering the ten questions set below but remember, truth is not an option, whereas having fun is.

Table for Eight

Dad had booked a table at one of the posh restaurants for a special occasion.
The maître d’ greeted Dad with a smile when he said he’d booked a table for eight.
Keeping his composure, he apologised and said he could not find a booking for that many people, so asked Dad to confirm his name, and the date of his reservation.
‘Definitely this evening,’ he said, ‘a table for eight. There should be flowers. ‘
‘Just a moment sir, I’ll go and check the register. Would you like to order some drinks while you’re waiting?’ Continue reading
