I didn't think I would manage a walk all the way to the park and back so I took Totty in the car and we went down to Rotary Park. I don't usually go down there on my own as it is so isolated. There was one elderly man there and then some workmen came to do a bit of work on the walls. She really likes it down there and is happy just to wander around and I sat on a seat.
An electrician turned up this morning to put the new light in the hall that the landlady brought last week. He was really chatty and it didn't take him long. Not sure if you ask them if they want a coffee or not over here, I will have to ask Alison.
A huge parcel arrived by courier this morning. Kirsty had told me to expect one from her and James. It is in a huge box and I am really looking forward to opening it on Christmas Day.
I had a lot of ironing to do today and also more washing, we seem to get through so many clothes. I listened to Wake up to Wogan, the last show which was broadcast on Friday. I really enjoyed it but it was sad, I'll really miss him on the radio even though I listen one day behind on the iplayer. It helped me get through the ironing. I also did my house work and just have to vacuum tomorrow and I am all done.
I popped out to post a parcel to Jon's nephew and wife for their new baby and I also had to get a little present for my 'Secret Friend' in Lions and post that.
I then came back and baked a lemon slice cake. I had found the recipe in one of my magazines and thought it looked good.
Had another knock on the door and this time it was the man to fix the drainpipe which has been broken for months and we have been waiting for her to send a man so now it is all fixed.
Jon came home and put another coat of stain on half of the deck so he will finish that tomorrow.
The weather forecast for Christmas Day is now looking to be very good with big suns all over the North Island so looks like our picnic will be on.
Alison called to invite me over for a cup of tea tomorrow afternoon. I was going to invite her as I had made a cake but now I will go to her and take the cake with me, she has a lovely garden to sit in.
WEATHER.
It was quite cloudy today but warm, it got quite chilly in the evening.
