Sunday syndrome...

The weather was cloudier today, but it still felt cold when the wind blew! We had a lazy start to the day and spent the morning catching up with some jobs. Because of the miserable weather, I think we all felt a bit glum, and Sophie and I suffered with a bit of "Sunday syndrome"! However, we both have just two days to work next week, so it could be worse!

Just after lunchtime, Sophie and I went to see Mum and sat with her for a while. I managed to sort out her television, and we popped to the nearby shop to buy her some chocolates. When we left, we took the scenic route and stopped at our usual layby to enjoy a wrap before driving home. The countryside was a symphony of greys, browns and muted greens, but it was nice to sit for five minutes and have a small picnic!

Back home, Sophie made mugs of tea, and we sat and chatted and indulged in some chocolate of our own.  There are some days when it's really needed! The cats have been in for most of the day; they seem to dislike this chilly, damp weather, and the house has been lovely and warm for them.

Supper this evening was the soup we should have had last night, and it was delicious! Sophie had pureéd the vegetables and added the frankfurters, and it was a really hearty meal. Luckily, there was enough left for our lunch tomorrow at work!
