Grey and Dismal.

Horrible day today, not at all the sort of day you want to go out so we didn't. It is one of those drizzly days where you get really wet without realising it and you get soaked.So we cleared the kitchen out and did the floor, together with the bathroom and the front porch. of course as soon as the porch was done, the front ddoorbell rang and it was the postman. Typical. Three parcels today. one was an Andrex dog that Janes friend from Manchester had sent us. very cute too he is now sitting on the arm of the chair frightening the cats for a short while. At least, they both sniffed it, approached it very warily then decidid that it was no threat then left it alone! Clever little things.
Two parcels for me from QVC. One was a really nice diamond looking tennis bracelet, but unfortunately it is miles too big, and would fall off my wrist so has gone back. The other is a Butler and Wilson Poodle keyring for my brother and sister in law in Australia for Christmas. They have a poodle called Selwyn so should like that.
VT is revamping the fireplace ready for the winter. he has tarted up the gas poker, and has ordered a delivery of smokeless fuel to come next Wednesday. That is £17 a bag, but is our main source of heating in the winter so very necessary. We haven't had a coal delivery in years, we used to get a firm from Wigan who brought the proper cal, but we don't use that any more. It will be funny getting a delivery again.
Tonight we are having:
Escalope
Baby potatoes sliced and fried,
Mixed vegetables
Mushrooms in sauce.
