This morning has been a whirl of washing, unpacking and trying to get clothes dry. Outside, it was a horrible, grey and misty day, and we thought longingly of yesterday's and Friday's blue skies and sunshine.
In the early afternoon, we went to see Mum, who was lying in bed when we arrived. However, she was fully dressed, but her lunch had hardly been touched, and she wouldn't eat any of the chocolates I'd bought for her. It was a depressing visit, to be honest, and I have a feeling she knew we'd been away.
We stayed and chatted, but she didn't mention my birthday or ask what we'd done to celebrate. On the way home, we called into the shop at Mawsley and bought some snacks for lunch, which we ate in our favourite layby overlooking the fields. It was still very misty and grey, and I had the feeling that tomorrow is known as Blue Monday. I can certainly believe that! It should be the law that we keep up outside lights to cheer everyone up in one of the darkest months of the year!
Back home, we pootled about, and Sophie and I played cards. She thrashed me in the first game, but I got my revenge and beat her at every game after that! We had a very simple meal tonight after our busy day, and then it was time to relax a little before an early bed. Work beckons tomorrow!
