In addition, the heating failed to turn off last night when it was supposed to, so when the gas engineer eventually turns up (Wednesday is the latest offer) we will have a few questions to ask him. Hope he can answer them.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile on Friday we went with the Robinsons to the world-famous Poringland cinema experience and saw<em> The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel<\/em>, which much to my surprise was both brilliant and inspiring, despite being set in India, which is probably the country I least want to visit.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, while Dot got rather over-excited watching Norwich City beat Manchester United 1-0, I attended a birthday celebration for Bridget, who was 52. This took place on the Southern Comfort, which started at Horning, set off down the Bure and visited Ranworth Broad in gradually fading light. Atmospheric: really enjoyed it, especially as the forecast had been for constant rain.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2598\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2598\" style=\"width: 222px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog360.back2sq1.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/amymyerss.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2598\" title=\"amymyerss\" src=\"http:\/\/blog360.back2sq1.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/amymyerss-222x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog360.back2sq1.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/amymyerss-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/blog360.back2sq1.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/amymyerss.jpg 474w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2598\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amy Myers in party mood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Spent quite a lot of time talking to Amy Myers (5), who has developed a lot and is fun.
