Challenge within a challenge: Alice’s birthday

Today is one of my best friend's Alice’s birthday. We've been on a few holidays together and we're all about self improvement. We used to go to circuit training together which we nicknamed MBS aka Mind Body and Soul. This meant, talking on the way there, then exercising the body, and then talking on the way back for soul!

Yesterday we all went out for a meal and to see a play in St Albans. We ate at The Beech House which did really good food and then we saw a Tom Stoppard play called The Real Thing. Tom Stoppard is a renowned playwright, so felt very cultured going to see the play!

I wore a dress for the occasion; a brown spotted dress, but because we were busy eating and then watching the play, I didn't get a chance to get a picture of me and Alice. So here's one of us doing what we do best, laugh.

Because I wore a dress, I made a donation to charity. I asked Alice what her favourite charity is, and she said it’s the MacIntyre charity, which provides education, learning and support for children, young people and adults with learning disabilities. Her sister Jodie goes to one of their day centres and they provide a really good service.

Happy birthday Amp (which stands for Al My Pal), welcome to Club 30!
