We went into town early, after a rubbish nights sleep because of the heat, we got food for the weekend and spray paint so Kev can spray the metal rack outside. We were going to get rid of it, but changed our minds after the transformation of the jack'o'lanten cauldron and cats. It could be a useful addition to the box out on the porch. It also comes in handy as a table when we sit outside.
Talking of which we did do once we got home. We had lunch out there, while we were doing that a guy came to check the boiler, on a Saturday, no less. Like Kev said he was lucky we were home, as usual we stay longer in town. We came back early because of the football as we didn't want to get stuck waiting for buses that were going to be running late. The cool cloud cover we had in the morning burnt off by the afternoon and we retreated indoors as it got hot again. Kev had ordered a ceiling fan light for the bedroom and I must admit, despite Kev's initial misgivings as it was smaller than he thought it was going to be, I was impressed. He installed it and we put it on. It certainly helped combined with the floor fan. At one point in the night I switched the floor fan off and we just had the ceiling one on. Its very quiet and does cool the air directly above the bed down.
Charlotte came round after work and we sat outside for a bit, then came in when we started to get chilly, which was bliss after all the heat we've had of late. We actually had a game of Monopoly which we haven't done for ages. As it's on the Xbox and not an actual board game, we had to relearn how to play using a handset again, I must admit though, it's a lot easier as we can put the game on hold and no one has to fiddle about resetting the board. One game can drag on for days, much more fun. We have a few on the Xbox, Game of Life, Cluedo and Trivial Persuit. I do love a good games night...
