WHAT A GOOD DAY.

For the first time in years, the four of us went out for the morning. We went to the Barbour store in South Shields first off, followed by a visit to Grandma, who seemed a little unsettled to me today. Shopping followed with the main focus on buffet items for tomorrow afternoon. A couple of hours at home for chores, more food prep for lunch tomorrow and dog walking, then it was off to Newcastle for a quick coffee before the match - WHICH WE WON!! Charles and James stayed on in town because they were joining up with a certain Stag and his mates, while my lovely daughter-in-law brought me home and stayed for a lovely meal, cooked by Christina and shared with Sean as well. We followed this with a good dose of Strictly. Annoyingly though, I have just stuck a couple of cakes in the oven because I ended up with an order for Monday from Kevin (I had hoped they could last until Tuesday because of being so busy getting everything ready for the family get together tomorrow) but I'm planning on staying up until at least another hour so that I can book my Tesco delivery for 21st December and the slots will be released at midnight. (Yawn!!)
