The look I was sporting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Half dog half womble is asleep on the bed. Sammy, the big gormless one is sitting breathing on my arm, with a sock in her mouth staring, willing me to let her come up. She is a great hairy labrador so the answer is no. They normall sleep in the kitchen but when the long suffering husband is away they are given a free pass to rampage. I don\u2019t tell them. They just know.<\/p>\n

This weekend we have had a house full of teenagers which may explain why I have behaved like one myself. Teenwolf and his pals age 16 and from down south Shona and Liz 19 & 20 respectively.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was my dear chum Liz\u2019s 40th birthday so she met 20 of her girlfriends for lunch. Or as it started off a screechathon. 70% of the women there were journalists and presenters so are all lacking the shy gene. Liz\u2019s other friends from East Lothian were there too and the whole thing went off like a rocket.<\/p>\n

Teenwolf dared to enter the den of 22 women as he had forgotten his keys an experience that may stay with him for a while. An hour later he was back to give me my keys back only to find me outside the bar\/restaurant\u00a0 in the company of 3 teenagers and a stand-up comic smoking a roll-up. First time I have smoked for about 5 years. I can see how hanging out with young folk makes you feel young \u2013 at the time. I have to say waking up this morning my roll-up coated mouth and prosecco soaked liver I am\u00a0 feeling all of my 39 years. Ahem.<\/p>\n

I got home about 9pm. The teenagers were just ramping up to go out for the night. Teenwolf and his pals to a party and the Southern based teenagers to Dragonfly and a show. As I slumped on the sofa with a cup of tea and a packet of biscuits I\u00a0 listened as the music was turned off and the clomping of feet on the stairs announced they were off out. Upset? Annoyed?\u00a0 Wishing I was young again? Nah. Just blissfully happy. A couch. A TV and a dog under each oxter \u2013 what a fabulous Saturday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
