Something different

My short shift passed very quickly today and I made inroads into the moan report, thank goodness. Tomorrow I'm answering calls for half of my shift so I tried to do as much as I could today.

Keith collected me at 2pm, and after dropping him at home, I went over to see Mum and Dad and gave them their Normandy gifts. My Dad seemed cheerful today and was pleasant for a change! Wonders will never cease! He is going out tomorrow to the pub which I was delighted about. It'll be great for him to get out of the room for a while!

Back at home, I did an hour's cleaning and concentrated on the conservatory which we hadn't touched since returning from France. I found a little dead shrew in there and I'm glad I didn't give in and let the cats have full access to the house while we were away!

Sophie was out tonight with her friends Laura and Daisy, and they'd booked a table at our local pub. Keith and I were looking forward to having crispy duck and pancakes for dinner and after playing a couple of games of cards, I sliced up spring onions and a cucumber to add to the pancakes. They were delicious and made a change from what we normally eat!

Our viewing choice this evening was the last-ever episode of Vera starring the brilliant Brenda Blethyn. I felt quite sad when it ended. It's been a staple of Sunday night television for years!
