A Mexican evening

We had an early start today as Sophie wanted a lift to the gym to do a yoga class, and Keith and I took the opportunity to drop her off and then drive over to Kettering to deliver Dad's new wheelchair which had arrived from Amazon yesterday.

We dropped her off at 9am and sped over to Kettering where Mum and Dad were sitting having breakfast. The new wheelchair can easily be put into the boot of the Golf, so that was a bonus. We chatted for ten minutes and then left them to their breakfast, and headed back to Riverside.

Sophie emerged at 10.15am and we returned home, stopping on the way to buy some pastries in the Waitrose shop. It was bliss to get home, have a coffee and the pains au chocolat!

I spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon giving upstairs a good clean and removing several cobwebs from the walls and ceilings. I'm sure the little blighters have taken over recently! In the cloakroom, there were lots of tiny spiders and I do hope we haven't had a nest hatch out! Ugh!

Keith went over to Rushden to watch Sileby play, and Sophie and I relaxed before getting showers and meeting for Scrabble. We were all out for dinner this evening at Paul and Sharon's house and looking forward to a Mexican evening. Paul's house has stunning views over the countryside, and I was really hoping to see balloons drifting over from the festival taking place in town this weekend. It was too windy yesterday for them to take off, but we didn't see any, sadly. I shall look out for them again tomorrow.

We had a great meal with lots of wine and chat, and Richard and Michelle were there as well. Sophie and Richard became involved in a heated debate about immigration and prisons... It's something Sophie feels very strongly about so the conversation was rather passionate!
