A day off?

I was woken rather suddenly this morning by Keith answering my mobile phone as our cleaner at work was ringing to say she couldn't get into the building. Keith had mended the lock yesterday but it seemed it was a bit stiff this morning so Jeanette had trouble unlocking the door. As she was talking to me she managed to get in but Keith and I said we'd pop in after dropping Sophie off at school to have another look.

We'd had a bit of a disturbed night as at 1.30am we were woken by a strange noise which is still a mystery! We think it may have been one of our smoke alarms freaking out a bit so I just hope it doesn't go off when Mum and Dad are here!

We dropped Sophie off at school, had a quick look at the lock which was behaving perfectly and then went to do some essential food shopping at Tesco. Luckily it was quiet so by 10am we were driving out of the car park and home to a quick breakfast and then a multitude of tasks that had to be done before we leave tomorrow.

After picking Sophie up from school we'd arranged to go to the gym but neither of us felt like going and I still had packing to do so we decided to abandon the idea and work extra hard when we next go! It was pouring with rain and was a real misty Autumnal evening so it was sheer bliss to get home, do the last bits of packing and then relax on the sofa with a glass of very good Californian Pinot Noir (from the Hahn Winery in Monterey) and watch Grand Designs. Tomorrow we are off extremely early to catch the 6am flight to Berlin from Luton airport so it's an early night for Keith and I!!
