Too grand designs!

My shift at work passed quickly today and it was great to leave at 4pm and drive home. We've been having misty mornings lately, and although the fog had cleared through the day, the sky was still grey and gloomy. As I drove home the sky looked ominous and it started to rain shortly after I arrived back.

Keith was at home this evening but didn't intrude on our Girls' Wine Night! We watched Grand Designs about a truly mad couple who had decided to turn an old water tower into a home, somewhere in Northamptonshire. Kevin McCloud presented the first part of the programme from the top of our very own "Murphy's Well" as Terry Wogan used to call the Express Lifts Tower!

The plans for the water tower looked fantastic, with a garden and pool on the very top level, but sadly it wasn't finished by the end of the programme. The couple had three young children and the husband was trying to do most of the work himself and had little money to spend on the project. Will it ever be finished? I sincerely hope so!

After dinner (baked potatoes and salad) we watched a brilliant documentary on Netflix about a catfishing saga that went on for eight... eight! years! I won't reveal the ending but it was well worth a watch and left us all speechless with disbelief!
