Marina

Maddy had a party at her granny's house in town tonight. Sally is about to get some building work done so she said Mads could have a house party at hers instead of having a birthday party at the end of November.

There were twenty five or so of them, but I escaped the early part of the night and went to the spa.

By the time I got down it was in full swing. Marina, who's a couple of years older than the rest of them, spent most of the time in the kitchen with Roz, Sally and I since she didn't know too many of the other folk there. She was a big help though, getting Maddy and her mates organised and keeping an eye on everyone for us. In between that she was pulling silly faces whenever anyone pointed a camera at her.

As for Maddy, I'd guess she'll be back to never drinking again in the morning as she was ill before it was time to head home...
