Gino's

Well, Jordan seemed ok enough for us to go out and Lindsey, our babysitter, was happy to look after him. you still feel guilty though,going out when the children are not well. Well........obviously we managed to conquer our guilt- cos we went!
Jen drove Mr Smith and I, and Mike drove Tina, Tracy and John. unbelievably we parked right outside Gino's.
Now, I did choose to go there, as its my favourite restaurant, but I had never been there at half eight on a Saturday night. Sorry folks, but at least we got to start eating at..what was it? ten o clock. Having lived out in the sticks at Digby for so long, I had,like a hick, forgotten how busy a popular restaurant in town would be. They gave me the most beautiful present- an engraved decanter and glasses, with the Maple Leaf engraved on it, and the promise that we will be forever friends. We must of looked really sad! a mad-looking, wild eyed, woman with a wine rash snivelling into her napkin, just because some people she was with were kind enough to give her a present! Although to be fair I wasnt the only one with watery eyes (Jen, Tracy and Tina!) It was a nice meal, long drawn out but worth the wait.
Got back to the club but had a phone call to say Jordan was feeling poorly so went home. Slept well, cant think why!
Noelle and Ged came round this afternoon with our leaving gift. In 2004 we went to the ball at the Sgts mess and had a caracturist draw Noelle and I and then Mr Smith and Ged. Noelle and Ged copied and framed them, leaving us with one original and one copy and them with an original and a copy. They are cracking pictures!!
Spoke to Mum and Dad about next weekend, and to Lannie about her visit this week, text with Claire and also spoke to Cas. He sent me a photo of his new baby daughter Lucie. She is beautiful!
Spent the day sorting out everything for the packers to come tomorrow. It feels unreal but its really happening. Its totally unbelievable that this is our last night in this house, which has been our home for the longest time we have ever lived anywhere.I feel completely detached, like its happening to someone else. I feel like I'm just going on a holiday !!!
