What a shock!

We went to Martin's suprise 50th birthday party on Saturday night. As usual C and I were rushing around and were a bit late. Only about 10 minutes late mind you, but this is crucial at a suprise party when you don't know the arrival of the surprisee! I was worried we'd bump into them outside the house or something! Fortunately we arrived before Martin and Lynn so we could relax.
When Martin and Lynn arrived shortly after and Martin walked into a room full of people shouting SURPRISE his face was a picture! He had absolutely no idea whatsoever!! We had a lovely time, chatting to the salsa bods consuming yummy wine... Unfortunatley Dawn and Kevin (the hosts of the party) had cats and although we didn't see much of them poor Carl lost his voice and his eyes started to run, so we ended up leaving at about ten thirty. A great evening though...well done Lynn for keeping the secret so well!

Sunday was spend doing odd jobs around the house and watching a couple of DVDs. We watched 'White Noise' which we found pretty scary. It is about dead people communicating with the living via white noise or snow on TVs (which apparently happens (EVP reseach is being done) and 1 in 12 messages are threatening!) Well... it managed to get me a bit freaked...no watching snow on the TV when there's no signal....definatly worth a watch, although the ending could have been better.
