Claire's Photo Diary: Great week!

Well it's that Sunday night, back to work feeling, but what a great week! I've been off work this week (half term) and seem to have managed to do quite a lot in a relatively short time. I had my lovely friend Clare Cox to stay on Monday and Tuesday - a treat indeed, since I haven't seen her for nearly 3 years! We had a lovely catch up, lots of laughs, plenty of nice food and wine :-)) . Haven't laughed so much in ages! Was really a real tonic to see her. We made a pact never to leave it 3 years again, and hopefully, all being well, will go down with T-bone in the New Year and have a weekend down in Somerset.

On Wednesday I went up to Wiltshire to see T-Bone and in the evening we went to see Sierra Hurtt doing her thing in The Vic in Swindon. It was great to see her again. She performed for an hour in the pub and was sounding really good. We dragged her and Skeet , her guitarist, etc out for a meal afterwards, once we found somewhere serving food - and it was only 9.30 pm!

Back home Thursday morning, and then T-Bone joined me for a couple of days down here in Hampshire. We found some blues to go and see on Thursday night, always lovely to see some music. They were pretty good, although I didn't like the guy's voice and guitar style, but it was good to see anyway, and the double bass playing was really good!

Friday evening I had a visit from my mate Merryn (more wine lol!). Saturday I got to catch up with my sister in Winchester and we had a really nice lunch and catch up, some shopping and then train home, before my mad mate Vicky came round for more wine and laughs in the evening. Really good to see her again.

Today I have had to catch up with chores - HUGE ironing pile etc!! But in a minute I am off to Acoustic Night in Marlborough - always a pleasure and get to see T-Bone and friends perform in the Green Dragon. It's a lovely pub, everyone is always very friendly, and I always enjoy going up. It's going to be a great way to round off the week
