We had a bit of difficulty getting Mike up this morning as he'd been to the beer festival last night and wasn't at all keen on going to work. However, by 5.15am we were on our way and we dropped him off with a grunt from him as a goodbye!
We went back to bed again but I was up at 7.30am and looking at a dreary sky. The forecast was for rain all day today, which was a shame.
Mike wasn't ready to be picked up until 9.30am and as soon as we got back we all got showered and drove over to Rushden Lakes in the pouring rain. Sophie and Mike were treating us to brunch at Bill's and we were seated on a table overlooking the lake. A few hardy souls were out wearing raincoats and carrying umbrellas, and as well as it being wet it was also very chilly. Has our summer ended?
We had a delicious breakfast (Mike had a burger from the lunch menu) with sausages, eggs, bacon, toast, mushrooms and hash browns. It was great to sit and relax and talk about our plans for the rest of the day.
If the weather had been better we would probably have had a look around the shops, but with the rain and Keith's leg still a bit sore, we headed home. We drove past the pub and saw it was empty outside (well, who would sit out in this weather?) - what a difference from yesterday when there were people drinking and enjoying the sunshine!
Back home Keith and Sophie donned their onesies, while Mike retired to bed. Sophie and I spent the afternoon listing some more items on ebay and packaging up the items we sold today. We are really getting into this and having a lot of fun!
In the evening Sophie and I cooked pork escalopes with mashed potatoes and vegetables and made a mushroom sauce to go with the meal. It took us an hour to do the cooking and the meal was lovely. Washing afterwards wasn't a lot of fun, though!
