Last time I...

[girlyswot]

Last time I traveled abroad: February! I went to Bruges for a long weekend and it was lovely and I am really, really glad I went then and didn't wait for slightly warmer weather.

Last time I slept in a hotel: February, in Bruges. I got a really good deal booking the hotel with Eurostar, and it was much swankier than I was expecting.

Last time I flew in a plane: September 2019, for an art holiday in Portugal

Last time I took a train: Work meeting in Watford a couple of weeks ago. Had it been a day later, we probably would have switched to an online meeting.

Last time I took public transport: Ditto.

Last time I had a house guest: I think it might have been six years ago? I don't have a spare room or bed, so if someone comes to stay, I have to go and sleep at my brother's next door. It's a bit of a palaver.

Last time I got my hair cut: Eighteen months ago, maybe? I mostly cut it myself and I think I last did it three or four months ago. It's probably about time I had another go at it.

Last time I went to the pictures: Little Women back in January.

Last time I went to the theatre: A couple of years ago, to see Vincent and Flavia's most recent tango show. It was excellent.

Last time I went to a concert: December, to see my godson playing in his orchestra. His mother had organised our tickets... for the wrong night! Anyway, we waiting until the interval and were then able to get some returns, which worked really well because we got to see his bit, but could sit out in the foyer and chat during the first half when he wasn't playing.

Last time I went to an art museum: I went to several in Bruges, including the Salvador Dali museum.

Last time I sat down in a restaurant: Similarly, in Bruges.

Last time I went to a party: My father had a big party for his 80th birthday last May.

Last time I played a board game: Settlers of Catan. Not sure when but I quite often play it when I'm staying with friends in Bridgend, when I go down for work.

Bruges sounds great! I should get there once it is all over.

I think you would really enjoy it. It is a little bit Disney-mediaeval-city-theme-park, but very beautiful for all that. And lots of interesting things to do. Some of the bigger museums were closed (for the winter, or on the days of the week) when I was there, so I am definitely planning a return visit. People also said Ghent was lovely, and that's an easy train ride away too.

I stayed with you in 2012, and then later I stayed with your brother (maybe 2017 or 2018 after the screen printing birthday party?) and met the two most flawless cats ever.

I think the birthday party was 2017, but I'd forgotten that you'd been once before. I definitely had a friend stay in 2014, after the cruise. I think that might have been the most recent person who actually stayed in the house.
