I gave the upstairs of the house a thorough clean and hoovered up many a cobweb dangling from the ceiling. I also made the porridges and helped Keith with the list so it was a busy morning. Sophie returned at about 1pm with a new diamond stud and we went over to the care home to see Mum and Dad and celebrate my mother's 81st birthday.
My Dad had returned home yesterday and I'd been expecting him to be sitting in his chair as normal, but he was in bed asleep. We took Mum into the lovely lounge next to her room and we sat in there with a cup of Champagne, a gooey chocolate cake and chatted for over an hour. She was delighted with her gifts - lots of chocolate and a beautiful soft, grey throw that she can either put on her bed or use on the sofa.
I really don't know why my parents don't sit in this lounge more often as I found it fascinating to watch the comings and goings of people outside! I'd be in there every day!
We left Mum, popped to a shop in Broughton to get Sophie some soup and tinned ravioli for her lunches and drove home via the scenic route. Back home, it was definitely time to relax and we didn't have to worry about preparing dinner as we were going to order a Chinese takeaway as a treat. Sophie made us a Halloween cocktail and we played cards for a change, which was exceedingly pleasant!
We ordered a Chinese, which was delicious as always, and there was enough left for my lunch tomorrow. After eating, we watched Gone Fishing and then had a difficult job getting Mooney in. Sophie called and called and eventually realised he was in the garage! He's a little monkey!
