Wednesday

The builder was back this morning to get the step finished and then only the grouting to do!

I spent the morning making butternut squash soup and doing a few jobs around the house.

A man came to the door and I thought it was the man to fit my blind and I asked him in. He looked at me strangely and said 'I am just here to ask if I can take that roll of carpet out of the skip'. We had a good laugh about it and I told him I was expecting the man to fit my blind. I told him it would be OK to take the carpet as the builder had put it in there from another job. He said he would bring his van back later but he didn't turn up.

Jon went over to Ely to return his hearing aids as they are really no use to him and he got his money back. He needs to get something sorted though as he needs the TV so loud it drives me mad.

The man did come and fit my blind and I am really pleased with it and it looks very nice.

I cooked the mackerel for Rene and took it over to her and she was so excited about it and couldn't wait to tuck in so I left her to it.

We had soup for lunch and Jane came over with Riley as she had some shopping to do in Newmarket and she had a bowl of soup, too.

I cooked our dinner early as we were going out to the New Wellington pub down the road for the quiz night. Kirsty arrived straight from work but as the girls were all eating at the pub she didn't want food. It would be too late for Jon to eat at the pub as Bertie likes an early dinner!

One of our team had to drop out as she hurt her back so we asked James to join us as he had not been allowed on the girls team. One of the girls had dropped out but Heather managed to get one of the girls from work to fill in but they were only five on their team.

Jane and Abi arrived followed by James and we all walked down to the pub.

We had a really good night and it was a lot of fun made even better by us winning! It was a good team effort but Roger was spot on with the football section and as we played our joker on this section we had double points. We won a forty pound dinner voucher so we will arrange a night to use it sometime. Ian and I also won a raffle prize each.

Jane enjoyed herself and had texted Jason who told her Riley was fine and asleep in bed so she was happy.

It was quite late when we got back and said goodbye to the girls and they had all managed to get their cars out of the drive!
