A Saturday shift

Sophie took me to work this morning, and I did the Saturday shift with Shirley. It was a pleasant shift, not busy with calls, and I managed to get a lot of other work done, including the Christmas playscheme places.

Sophie collected me at 2pm, and we went home to have a late lunch and relax. Keith went to watch Sileby and came home at 5pm looking frozen. The weather has certainly turned colder lately, and we're putting the heating on to warm up the house.

I'd had a lovely relaxing afternoon watching a new Genealogy programme with Philip Glenister and John Simm who had taken DNA tests. It was very much like an ITV version of Who Do You Think You Are and was just as interesting. There had been a mention of Northamptonshire in Philip Glenister's background, but his story was sidelined by John Simm's revelation that the man who thought was his father, actually wasn't!

We had a relaxed evening, and Sophie made us both an Americano cocktail, which was a great aperitif before we had a glass of wine. We ordered a Chinese takeaway for dinner, as a treat, and watched another episode of Grand Designs, this time with a young couple building a house in Lincolnshire. It was perhaps one of the most boring episodes I've ever seen!

An after-dinner treat was a BBC2 show featuring 40 different, rarely-seen footage of bands and singers performing for the corporation over the years. It was brilliant!
