Snow!

Amazingly, at about 8.30am this morning we had a very light snow flurry that lasted about half an hour! Is this a sign of a hard winter to come?

We dropped Sophie off at work and then went on a hunt for Fajita sauce. We had got a spicy powder to marinate the chicken with, but Sophie likes her fajitas a bit "wet" so we drove to Aldi but they hadn't any at all. We tried Waitrose but they had everything but! As a last resort we walked to Asda and had a choice of two jars! Bingo!

Back home we had toast for breakfast and I caught up with some jobs that had been waiting for me all week. Next week I'll be glad to have Tuesday and Wednesday off again! I dropped Mike off in town at midday and came home to wash my car. Keith went off to the football and after hoovering downstairs I managed to sit out in the garden for a little while with a mug of hot chocolate. The sky was blue with some big fluffy clouds and it was great to get some fresh air for a little while. The sun sets here at about 4pm now and it was really low in the sky but it was still great to sit outside for just a few minutes.


I settled down to watch Scrooged on the television and Keith returned from the football looking frozen! We caught a very old cookery programme with Nigel Slater and an astonishingly young Nigella Lawson (she looked about 12) before Keith turned over to watch the football.

Mike had gone from town to Sophie's work so we were able to pick him up from there which was a lot easier! It was home to relax before dinner of fajitas, and the sauce was very good indeed!
