We had a lovely day. We went into the city to meet Sue and Pete for lunch. But before that we did a spot of shopping. Kev needed ingredients to make gingerbread, and I wanted to look in TKMAXX. I'd seen a tree topper last Tuesday, and I wondered if it would still be there. I'd hidden it on the shelf, with the thought that if it was still there it was meant to be... Imagine my joy as it was exactly on the shelf hidden where I'd stashed it. So, naturally it came home with me. I'd also spotted a candle, black spice and myrrh, it smells gorgeous and very Christmassy, so I got that too. Kev bought me a wooden box to put all my tier tray stuff in once the season has past. It's lovely and just what I needed. It will make it easy to find among the decorations in the loft. Only Ann-Marie the Matlock Ghost, will remain out, but she will move onto the coffin shelves with the rest of the girls and ghosts.
We met up with Sue and Pete at the Slug and Lettuce in the market square, had a lovely catch-up and all said how we were all looking forward to our Christmas day together.
Because Kev has the Slug and Lettuce app, they gave him a free bottle of Prosecco which Sue and I shared, while the guys had a pint each... The food and service was as always great, and the staff even though they were busy with reserved tables and larger parties were as friendly as ever. They always make us feel welcome, and recognise us by now. That's why we go back there as we know what we can expect.
We left them afterwards and were lucky as a Cotgrave was just pulling in across the road. We got home and Kev had a couple of deliveries, one from Amazon and one from Tiger that he'd ordered last week. All in all, a very pleasant day.
