 Thursday - Rainy and cold

I went to bed late last night as usual. I slept fairly well, but in the morning, F spent his time looking for something! Ack. He woke me up and then kept coming back into the room. I did fall asleep again for a bit, but it threw off my sleep pattern of course. 

I dragged myself out of bed a bit late, went downstairs and did my usual snoozing in bed a bit longer thing. I did watch the early morning news and stayed awake during the English language parts.

I had a fairly busy morning once I got up. I did a couple of loads of laundry and hung it up. I watched some YouTube and then went downstairs a bit later and prepared my lunch. I heard K in the living room, so I made her something too. I made us both avocado and tuna wraps. They were amazing! I put a tiny bit of wasabi on the tortilla and it was nice.  

Of course, when I had prepared K’s food, she had gone back to bed. Sigh. I got her up again and left her the food to eat.

I had a good lunch upstairs. F called after 5 pm to say he was on his way back and would be leaving soon afterwards. I went down to get started on dinner for K and I.  F came back to the house and got changed quickly. He had called the taxi and it was supposed to be coming in 20 minutes. We had a chat out in the hallway and then the time was passing….and passing…and it was almost 7 pm. I suggested he phone again. It turned out that the request for a taxi wasn’t written down by the person he talked to. If he’d waited longer, he would never get to his party.  The taxi came and off he went.

I went back to the kitchen and got on with dinner. Tonight I made scrambled eggs, bacon and French Fries. We had salad with it too for just a touch of healthy food! K seemed to like it a lot. Most of the food vanished.

After dinner, I cleaned up the kitchen and the dishes and then headed upstairs. I watched a little YouTube and then decided to watch some Apple+ TV. I was in the middle of an episode of Ted Lasso when K started calling me. I went downstairs. I think she was trying to ask where F was, but he was still at the party. I tried to send her back to bed, hopefully, she went!

I went back to my show but about ten minutes later, guess who showed up. A very happy-drunk F. We had a nice reunion and he was happy to see me. I tried to get him to drink some water, but he eventually fell asleep. Of course, he fell asleep using my quilt, so I had to very nicely take it back from him! He started to use his own after that, I’m not that mean to let him get cold. 

I’ve been blogging and doing the internet thing for a while since. I do need to go and get some sleep though, so I’ll sign off in a couple of minutes. First though….

Here’s today’s Advent Calendar picture. We have less than ten days left now! 

December 16th's new house is a little white one near the back of the picture. It's just behind the green house with two chimneys. It looks a little like a Tudor-style house.

Come back later if you will and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
