Lazy Saturday

Today has been relaxed and enjoyable, I'm glad to report! I even managed a lie-in this morning which was a bonus!

I spent the morning cleaning the downstairs of the house before having a quick bath and going to Jones's with Sophie as we needed quite a bit of shopping. The weather hasn't been too bad today, with the storms dying down and only a handful of squally showers making their presence felt.

The afternoon was spent lolling about and Keith and I decided to go to the pub in the evening for a long-overdue drink. The pub was busy with people eating and drinking and there was a great atmosphere in there. I was lucky enough to bag a seat at the bar where we were able to chat but people watch at the same time. There was a large group of people sitting opposite the bar all having a great time and I commented to Keith that that used to be us twenty years ago, when we enjoyed the company of a large group of friends, on a Friday night in particular, when the pub would host a quiz night. Sadly, some of our lovely friends are with us no longer and others have moved away, but I really have some fond memories of when the pub used to be our haunt!

As Keith didn't feel like cooking we had a take-away from the van and very good it was, too! We spent the evening watching After Earth starring Will Smith and his son, but it didn't live up to expectations at all!
