As it was another quiet day at work today Keith, Sophie and I went off to Jones's in the afternoon to get some more lights for the conservatory as the ones we had in there died. The Christmas section was looking a bit sad as they were starting to clear away the decorations already!
I bought some new lights, some bird food for home and work and a pair of headphones for Mikey as a stocking filler and then it was back to work to send out some cards before the post went. We left for home a bit earlier than usual and fixed up the new fairy lights in the conservatory which pleased Sophie! It was lovely to sit in there for a little while and see them twinkling in all directions!
Dad called to ask us to give him a lift to the mechanic's in Broughton and when we got back we decided to go to the pub in Old for a drink. We walked up and as we left it started to rain which wasn't very pleasant! Luckily I had a scarf with me which I pulled over my head and I managed to arrive without looking like a drowned rat!
We spent a very pleasant hour sitting in our usual spot in the window and having a good chat. Keith's cough seems to be on the mend now, which is a relief. He always seems to get a bad cough in the winter and it drags on and on, probably due to a very bad bout of bronchitis he had about twenty years ago when he refused to go to the doctor!
When we arrived home we had to set about the dinner immediately - we'd hinted that Sophie could help by peeling some potatoes for the fish pie, but our hints had obviously fallen on deaf ears!
