Morning all - after 2 completely vile days we are now having our 2nd beautiful sunny morning.
5.2 this morning following a disgraceful 15+ at bedtime and a 3.5u correction.
Didn't get round to posting yesterday, I'd just written the first sentence when hubby wanted us to go out "now" to deliver local cards around town and "pop into Lidl for a few bits and pieces". So I sighed and put my coat on. Bought stuff in Lidl then decided we might as well go to Tesco and get the grocery shopping over with. Arrived in Tesco car park to find the clubcard was not where we keep it, i.e. in the cup holder between the front seats of the car. It's not far from home, so we popped back to get it. Arrived at home to discover we were locked out. I had locked the front door and couldn't recall where I'd put the keys, no they weren't in the cup holder where I normally drop them, nor in my bag or any of my pockets. I think they must have fallen out of my pocket when I got out of the car numerous times to stick cards through people's doors. Fortunately a friend has a key and she was kind enough to arrive 5 mins later and let us in. Then back to Tesco, who had no unwaxed lemons or red cabbage.... so on to Sainsbury's where I had a prescription to pick up anyway and finally the petrol station to fill up.... so our "quick" errand took all afternoon and by the time we got home I had lost the will to live!
Still, all cards now sent/delivered, parcels wrapped under the tree and grocery shopping done!
Talking about families at Xmas... we once had 12 house guests for Christmas (fortunately we owned a hotel at the time) including Julian's mother, his father, his father's 2nd wife and my mum, various friends and assorted children. It went surprisingly well - no one killed each other - except that FIL and his wife went out on Xmas eve to the British Legion and when they came home they decided they were peckish, so step-mum-in-law went to the fridge and carved a whacking great wedge out of the middle of the glazed ham that was meant to be the centrepiece of the Boxing day buffet party for friends.
@ColinUK love the adventure with the firemen. Glad to hear you are healing and what a view whilst you were waiting, I hope you had a book with you. I never go anywhere I might have to wait without my kindle.
@eggyg - ouch.... glad to hear you've not broken anything but as everyone has been saying, let everyone else run round after you.
@TinaD... we can all come and visit now your water is back on, and no need for pegs on our noses!
Take care all....
