A bit disappointing...

I had an even worse night's sleep last night and felt exhausted this morning. Last night, we couldn't get Gomez in at all. I said to Sophie that we need to start calling for the cats earlier in the evening, as Sophie finds it a real chore spending the evening calling for them. I remember back to when we had Archie and Monty, and we would let them out every evening, for the whole night!

She managed to get the little rascal in before she went to work, and then he wanted to go out again, minutes later! Outside, the weather was horrible with rain and wind. Madness!

I took myself off to work this morning and faced the noisiest day of the week, with several other people in the office adding to the overall volume! Nicola was back from a week's cruise, so it was great to chat to her about her holiday, when she visited Rotterdam, Bruges, Amsterdam and Hamburg. 

We marked Armistice Day at 11am with a two-minute silence, and the rest of the day was uneventful. It was great to escape at 4pm and head home in the gloom. Keith was going to watch Sileby tonight, and Sophie and I had planned a remake of the meal we had on our first night in Provence last year - a ravioli bake topped with cheese and served with a garlic flatbread.

I had asked Keith to get me a bottle of red Burgundy in Tesco, and he had picked one out for £15, which had been reduced to £13. I was almost finished reading my excellent wine book by Kermit Lynch, and he was praising the (very expensive) wines of the region. I thought we could start off with a basic red and try to work our way up!

Unfortunately, the wine was horrible and both Sophie and I hated it. It was thin and tannic, so we had one glass each and decided to use it for cooking. What a waste of money!

After a lovely dinner, we continued watching our film choice of the evening - A Perfect Stranger starring Bruce Willis and Halle Berry. Mooney had been in when I got home, so we kept him in, and we managed to entice Gomez in early. Hooray!
