Friday - Windy and cloudy but warmish

I woke up with my alarm this morning and got up. I made a trip downstairs and then started to get dressed. I stopped for a bit and did a pedicure on myself. I filed off some rough skin and then I moisturized my feet. I even cut my toenails. They felt very nice and soft for a bit. 

I took a bit of a nap for an hour and then got up and got dressed. I grabbed a quick breakfast and came back upstairs to get dressed and eat. I ate first and then I got dressed to go out. My friend emailed to say that she was leaving, so I went downstairs a bit too soon to wait for her. 

She didn’t arrive for an hour or so. I was just about to text her to see if she was okay or not when she arrived. The wind today was rather scary. There were warnings about it, so I was worried in case something had happened. 

We decided to go to Cocos for lunch, so drove over there. We got a table and had a lovely lunch. We shared a plate of fries and each of us had the lunch chicken salad with baguette. It came with some olive oil for the baguette and soup too. We both had drink bar which was nice too. We had a lot of great conversations and just enjoyed being out and about.

We did a little shopping for shoes after our lunch. My friend got herself a nice pair. After that, I bought her a latte at Starbucks. She brought me back to the house and I got changed to go downstairs to make dinner. 

After F called I went downstairs and started working on dinner. Tonight I made scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, fried mushrooms, croissants and salad. Oh, and there were celery pickles too. It was quite good, even if I say so myself. Most of the food disappeared so that was good. I even served some of my mincemeat tarts with ice cream for dessert. Yum.

I did the dishes after dinner. There were quite a few, and the eggy pan was a tad painful to wash, but I got them done finally. I went upstairs to relax and then came downstairs again at 10:30 or so to take a shower. 

When I came back upstairs I decided not to watch something on TV. I needed to write some emails and also update some of my book websites. After a while, F went to bed and I’m still up of course.

I’m not sure what we’ll get up to tomorrow. There are 3 English movies in town or nearby, so I hope that we’ll see at least one of them. Come back later and find out what happens this weekend!  Until tomorrow….
