Settling back in

It was so lovely to be back in my own bed last night and I slept well, ready to tackle the unpacking and washing!

Unfortunately, the weather hasn't been brilliant today, so there was no chance of getting any washing on the line to dry. I worked my way through the piles of laundry and tried to catch up with writing the blog.

It was Keith's birthday today and I felt bad that it was overshadowed by the end of the holiday. The poor man had to go shopping for tonight's dinner and he said that Tesco was manic! Not a great way to spend his birthday!

However, Newcastle were playing in the late afternoon and he was looking forward to sitting down and watching the match. I went to see my parents at 2pm and was home by 3pm. They were fine and very pleased to see us all home safe!

Vikesh came around to see Sophie and brought Basil back. We had bought him one of his own and a little pot for it to go into. Sophie had bought him lots of presents on holiday and he was delighted with them!

We sat and chatted over a glass of wine, served in the new glasses that Sophie had bought in Paretellada. Keith watched the football and was astounded when Newcastle beat Sheffield United 8-0! What a result for his birthday!

Sophie cooked dinner tonight - a delicious homemade chicken casserole with dumplings. We had loads of vegetables to accompany the meal. At last!
