This afternoon the sky clouded over and became very dark, we heard thunder in the distance then the heavens opened, needless to say I didn't get any gardening done.
Instead I did all the housework which took quite a while but its a good job done.
Phil, Luke and Chloe arrived for dinner, we had boiled bacon, roast potatoes and vegetables yorkshire puddings etc which was enjoyed by all.
We talked about what to do about Christmas presents , as the children get older it gets more difficult and this year seems to even more difficult, times are hard for everone arn't they.
As Phil's partner Lorraine has three children two teenage daughters and James who will be twelve by Christmas, they have decided that they would prefer the money then they can go to the January sales and buy what they want, thats fine with me, at least I won't have to go round the shops trying to decide what to get!!!! Chloe decided that she would prefer the money too, not sure about Luke think he might want presents.
Well I am just relaxing now and watching a bit of television before I go to bed.

Sounds like your meal was yummy Carole :-)
Isn't this weather dreadful ? it's so cold too. Did you have hailstones too? we had them, the size of marbles. Christmas is a frightening thought - I really dont like shopping much at all, but at Christmas it's worse, with all the crowds. Wish I could give money to my lot too!
Love Sal xx
