Typical Saturday catching up with household affairs… Well until the evening anyway.

The group of mostly middle-aged mothers who had helped out backstage at the variety show a month ago were being treated to a thank-you meal in a local restaurant. Needless to say we had loads to talk about, drank just a little more than half a glass of wine each and ended up dancing to several Abba tunes. Not quite as gracefully as the young girls on stage in April.

Still, even (or perhaps especially) middle-aged suburban mammies have to let their hair down once in a while.
