We got up at 8 am, which is about our usual time.
Showered and opened gifts. Obviously didn't take as long as normal because we had mostly given each other the bigger gifts with the exception of my beautiful new loungefly backpack. A Halloween one I'd fallen in love with, and had missed out on, but Kev had tracked down for me.
I had some lovely gifts from friends, Trish and Sarah with their usual quirky style, Charlotte adding to my NBC collection, and a fabulous collage book from Hanna Haspe, which was a complete surprise. Stamps and spooky photos from the lovely Joyce.
We set to and put all the stuff in their new homes, before Pete collected us.
As always we had a fantastic day with Sue and Pete, we never take for granted their invite to spend the day with them. Going so long without family to share the day with ( and actually enjoy it!) Makes us really look forward to the following one.
The dinner was gorgeous as always, the company was fun, despite three abortive attempts at playing new board games, next year I'm thinking a less complicated quiz would be more appropriate. We watched the Pottery Throw Down and the final Ghosts episode. Now I know how the Friends fan base felt when they aired the last one! We know it's time to pull the plug, but we still just want it to go on forever. But I think it might be a box set buy so we can re watch from the start.
The day was relaxing and after the full on work days we had before it much needed.
