Monday was a lovely day, made even more special by having time off work! Keith and I were up early again and I had a very relaxing start to the day by watching Glorious 39, a film I'd recorded from the night before. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and mum and dad popped in on their way to work with a card and a Homebase gift voucher which will come in very handy at the moment!
Keith had an appointment with the doctor at 9am and while he was gone I painted the two doors in our bedroom so we could sit and enjoy breakfast when he got home. We opened the cards from the children and had a delicious cooked breakfast with lots of coffee.
Leaving the wee ones at home, Keith and I went over to Weedon to see if we could get handles for our Le Creuset saucepans which are over 20 years old. The handles are wooden so they've got a bit burnt over the years and now twist dangerously when we pick them up. The woman in the cookshop was very helpful and gave us a Le Creuset brochure so we could contact the company and see if they do replacement handles. We saw a set of new saucepans for £278 so we're hoping we can get the new handles as the saucepans themselves will outlive us! While we were there we bought some wonderful little corn on the cob holders which the children will love when they have their corn!
From Weedon we went to Tesco and picked up dinner for the evening. We treated ourselves to Tesco's Finest range as neither of us wanted to cook a big dinner and we didn't fancy going out either. Tesco have some really fabulous ready prepared meals available now and we chose a different dish for each of us, with some vegetables and gorgeous puds.
Our last stop before we went home was Homebase where we bought the wallpaper we need and which we will put up on Saturday, with the help of my dad. All the decorating in the room will then be finished and I'll just need to buy some new pictures, cushions and maybe a throw for the bed! Done!
The afternoon was spent lazing about and we had a delicious dinner accompanied by a bottle of beautiful Argentinian Malbec. The children disappeared upstairs so Keith and I watched North by Northwest starring one of my favourite actors, Cary Grant. It was a great day but tomorrow we are back on the very straight and narrow!
