Son No 2 arrived for his Christmas holiday on Monday and today, everything being complete and even my ironing up to date bar one duvet cover (slated for tomorrow), not to mention the fact that my nose is not now running 100% of the time, we decided to go out for bit of a celebratory treat.
The weather was not very nice, and got worse while we were out, and in any case being reluctant to go as far as Kirkwall, that meant either Celina Rupp or Polly Kettle, both nice places to eat and very local. Celina Rupp won.
Son No 2 and I shared the apple strudel cheesecake which is lovely but far too much for one person - although I'm not sure he agreed. The OH indulged in some Nutella swiss roll and we all had a hot chocolate because it s hot chocolate sort of weather. All very nice.
We'd passed the postman doing his rounds when we went out and were all agog to see what he might have delivered, three parcels and several cards still being on the expected list. Imagine our excitement as we opened the front door - and the anti-climax when all we found on the mat was an Income Tax code change from HMRC.
Ah well better luck tomorrow, eh?
All we got today was circulars!
