We had a night out last night.
My cousin, whose 60th birthday we missed last weekend, is over from the US, so he and his wife plus his sister and her hubby have come down from Bromsgrove for a couple of days in their favourite seaside town. We went to a couple of pubs and had a meal, and actually managed to book a couple of taxis.
That's the first time in three years that we've done anything so daring. It was great, and surprisingly I don't feel too hungover this morning.

Nice one! A few weeks ago I went out with my mate Willie (whose actual name is Paul) for the first time since before CoViD, and it was exactly like the old days. Detectorists-type conversation and a few beers. Perfect.

Continuing with the theme, we also went out with them yesterday. They wanted to catch the train to Dawlish - I know, don't say the obvious. The cousin from America and his American wife couldn't believe the tickets ONLY cost £7.80 for two, until I explained we'd only be on the bloody train for four minutes!
Anyway, today we're off to Widecombe to meet an old school pal of mine who has been visiting his in-laws in Salcombe. I reckon it must be nearly 40 years since we last saw him, and we've never met his wife. He and I used to go to watch the Birmingham Brummies speedway team in the 70s, and as he's a Blues fan we also went to matches together. We went to Elland Road to see the only match that Leeds won under Cloughie - I don't need to clarify who the opposition were, do I?
