A freezing Friday!

I couldn't say today, "Ahh, it's Friday!" as I'm covering a shift at work tomorrow! Sophie returned to the gym this morning as she felt better, and I drove myself to work in the gloom. The weather has turned nasty again after two days of sunshine and it's set to be cold over the weekend and all next week.

My Friday shift passed very quickly and I dealt with all the emails, tested the swim camps, which go live on Sunday, and finished the price comparison spreadsheet. I keep getting calls from a leisure centre as I submitted a form asking about memberships, but I have no intention of signing up with them! 

At 4pm, I sped home and the A43 was empty, which was nothing short of a miracle! However, the traffic in Walgrave was terrible with cars queuing to get to the crossroads. I suspect there are roadworks on the A43, with some drivers travelling through Walgrave instead. The village just can't cope if this happens, though, and I told Keith to leave a bit earlier when he went to the pub.

It turned sleety and the wind was freezing this evening (it was supposed to feel like -6 with the windchill) so we lit the fire in the living room and cranked up the heating. The cats love it when the fire is on and lie on our footstool with their furry bellies exposed to the warmth!

Sophie and I opened a bottle of Macon Villages white wine and watched the last two episodes of Come Dine With Me. Two women have been bickering about fish all week, which has been hilarious! We had fish ourselves for dinner - fishcakes and mashed potatoes with Keith's own mushy peas! Lovely!
