In the air today. The weather forecasters all said that we were going to have rain today but that hasn't materialised. Quite sunny actually. i put my new reactions glasses on and they darkened up very quickly outside.
Vin decided that he wasn't going to do any of the loft today, and was going to have a breather, so we went out to Dobbies. I wanted to have a bit of a look round for Christmas things but didn't actually see anything that took my fancy. Vin got some nice Mandarin marmalade and i bought some shortbread and some after dinner mints to have in stock. Maybe the garden centre over the road will have something better for Christmas.
We had a lovely coffee in their busy restaurant. What a difference the half term makes, there were kids everywhere, and a lot of grandparents with kids attached, there must be an awful lot of Parents in this country who rely on Grannies and grandads to do their childcare during the holidays. We never had that because all of Jane's grandparents had died, she didn't have the pleasure of those relatives. Mind you i didn't know any of mine either so it must run in the family...
Called in at Waitrose in formby on the way home because the cats needed their chicken for tomorrow, and got a few other things for the store cupboard. At least they were quiet.
Vin spent the afternoon washing his car, while I fiddled around up here, so a mixed sort of day really.
Tonight we are having:
Chicken style pies
cauliflower cheese
A few baby potatoes squashed.
