A wet start to today but it is much milder. The traffic was terrible coming into work this morning. No real reason for it other than sheer volume of traffic. No idea why!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is belly pork, rice and vegetables.
Tonight's jobs are:- walking the dog
- cleaning the bathrooms
- vacuuming the house
- plugging in the van and turning on the fridge

It's Friday at last. Looking forward to the weekend.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores tonight. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is southern fried chicken, jacket potato and coleslaw.
No jobs to do tonight, we are off out in the van. We are only going 15 minutes down the road so won't take long to get there and set up. Think we will have a couple of drinks in the onsite bar as well while dinner is cooking.0 -
It's the calm before the storm right now!
We really don't have much planned for today with the weather forecast in mind. Think we will venture up to the bar at lunchtime. Its only a short stroll from our pitch.
Just enjoying a lazy morning and coffee. Will do some scrambled eggs on toast shortly.
It's definitely not an outdoors day today. Will watch a film or two later and we have the new sat nav to set up and have a play with.
Got a chicken and ham pie to chuck in the oven later with some chips and mushy peas.

Well that was a blowy night!
We were certainly shaken around in the night but no harm done. We decided to head home at about 9am this morning after coffee and cheese on toast for breakfast.
Going to the dogs toy shop shortly to get some Christmas presents. I will wrap them and the other half's presents this afternoon. That's me done with wrapping then for this year.
Not got much else planned for today. The weather isn't really up to heading out so a day chilling at home I think.
Need to prep dinner. Roast chicken tonight.0 -
