Mike went to work as normal so we held off opening our cards until the afternoon. We popped over to the Weston Favell Centre and I treated the three of us to a coffee before we headed to Tesco to buy some spices for the curry we're making on Sunday. As we discovered, they were a lot cheaper in the International foods aisle than buying them in the usual spices aisle, so we bought Garam Masala, coriander seeds and cumin and a Jerk sauce for when we next barbecue. It will be a lovely marinade on the chicken.
We drove home to potter about and Sophie and I listed a load of DVDs that we no longer want and some other stuff that was hanging about and not needed any more. It's amazing how much stuff we accumulate and don't really want! Hopefully, other people will want it, but if not, we'll take everything to a charity shop!
Just as we were about to pick Mike up from work, Cobbys the florist arrived with a beautiful arrangement from Mum and Dad. It was gorgeous and a complete surprise! Back home we opened our cards and we were over the moon with Sophie and Mike's card from Moonpig, taken from a photo of us when we were very young!

In the evening we played cards and I opened a bottle of Montlouis sparkling wine that we enjoyed on our wedding day. We'd bought it in France as I'd never seen it in the UK. We ordered a Chinese take-away at 7pm and were told it would be with us within half an hour, but after nearly an hour we had to call them back to find out where it was.
By 8pm we were sitting down and eating our meal but on this occasion, it wasn't brilliant. Keith didn't enjoy his at all, and although the meal I shared with Sophie was OK, we do prefer the van in the village. It's just a shame they're not there on a Wednesday night!
