A touch of Morse...

Sara was back today, and Sheila also returned from her break, so we were able to catch up with things before the others arrived for work. I managed to finish the moan report and tackled all the emails. Another list of films also arrived, so I'll put them on tomorrow which should take us over the Christmas/New Year period. Phew! Time is flying!

My shorter shift passed quickly and Keith collected me at 2pm. I dropped him off at home and drove straight over to pick up my Mum to take her to Tesco so she could do a little shopping. I will have to help her with her Christmas purchases as well, but I can tackle that once it's December!

I queued for a coffee at the Costa outlet, but the man behind the counter was working on his own, so I gave up. I treated Mum to a lovely soft and comfortable pyjama/loungewear outfit to replace the dressing gown I'd bought her, as well as a box of chocolates. I also selected a bottle of Ravenswood Californian wine to take to Sarah and Liam's house tomorrow night when we've been invited around for dinner.

After we'd finished shopping, I dropped Mum back off (managing to avoid seeing my Dad) and drove home. The sky was gorgeous this evening, a mixture of indigo blue, pink and purple, and the bare trees looked beautiful. It felt chilly, though!

Back home, I busied myself with the usual evening chores and lit the candles to make the house cosy. Sophie came home and was shattered as she is having to work on her own at the moment. Her working day must have been bad as she refused to talk about it!

After dinner this evening Keith and I waded through the first-ever episode of Inspector Morse, inspired by my visit to Oxford yesterday. The episode came out in 1987 and the cars seemed so old!
