We then decided to go shopping straightaway and get it over with! It's been bitterly cold today, and we have a French storm, called Goretti, forecast for tomorrow, which is set to be disruptive for the western half of the country. We're supposed to be having snow ourselves on Thursday night, and we have an Amber warning in place. Let's see!
We drove to Kettering and visited Aldi first. Once the shopping had been done, I popped to the nearby Next store and treated myself to a selection of three perfumes. The previous ones I'd bought had all run out at the same time!
Keith and I then went to Tesco before heading home to put the shopping away and have a late lunch of beans on toast. Sophie was working away in the kitchen, as it would have been too cold in the conservatory!
In the afternoon, Keith and I went to see Lloyd at Jack Warwick Funeral Directors to arrange a pre-paid plan for my Mum. I did away with the notices in the papers, and a limousine for us, which brought the price down slightly. He sent me all the information by email, which will make for pleasant reading!
As the VW was ready to be collected, we headed back to Moulton and picked it up. On the way, we witnessed a minor accident between two cars, but neither of them stopped! I was amazed as I thought it was the law to stop? It was horrible seeing bits of the car and the taillight flying through the air!
At the garage, the VW had needed three new tyres, but Keith was relieved as he was worried about us having problems with the tyres in France. We had been getting warnings about the tyre pressure, so that was now dealt with.
Back home, I sat with Sophie in the kitchen until she finished work at 5pm. I tasted some more of my whiskies so I now have four left. The Advent calendar has lasted a long time!
