What are you all up to

A beautiful clear, but cold, day here. We've done nothing (in between milkings) - taking advantage of having part of a day off. I'm wondering if it's time to break out these two Christmas presents. Knowing my predilection for a good G & T - maybe you can guess my husband's name?

Done very little here today either, walked the dog twice in the rain  and collected the car from the pub this afternoon. Resisted and didn't go in this time. Caught up on some tv on iplayer that I'd missed. Hoping for better weather tomorrow!  

Happy New Year to one and all.

It is a grey and cold day here but I have still taken the dog out for a couple of walks.

Now trying to search for some CLs on the new web site.

It is more frustrating than the old one, lets hope it improves in the new year.

Bit of a lie in this morning. Up at 7am, got breakfast (Mrs H had hers in bed - porridge this morning!)

Then wrote another report and emailed it off (got to make a few bob her and there).

Found that washing machine had sprung a leak in the drain hose, so replaced that (why do they put these things in the most inaccessible place??)

Went looking at wall and floor tiles for the kitchen in the afternoon. Another job to do.....

Is he Irish then?

Have started getting ready for our trip to see youngest son and family in N.Ireland later this week. 

Henry crisp? Is that his name goldie146?

Tried to quote but lost it somewhere!

I've just woken up from another sleep. It' pouring with rain, a continuous heavy downpour unlike the stop start showers during the daytime. Not easy to sleep with the noise of the rain pattering constantly on the caravan roof. I hope it stops long enough tomorrow so that I can get the daily outside chores done.

Not long back from DD's.  Good dinner followed by coffee and shortbread, then watched some TV and discussed prospective new car.

Looking on their website it seems the dealer may now, presumably yesterday, have sold the one we were looking at, the grey one, but there are still 2 blue ones in stock.  Our test drive is on Tuesday, but they are open tomorrow, so not sure why Tuesday.

Car washing was not that effective so plan to take the Volvo to the hand car wash recommended by SIL for a good scrub.  Interior is not too bad if I tidy up and shake out the mats.  Discovered a side light blown so will fix that.

Then we plan to drop in past the showroom to check the stock status and see if we can bring forward the test drive, also to get answers to our list of things we need clarified.

Showroom is quite near DD's place and I need to sort a light fitting for her anyway.

There's blue sky this morning at last and no fog, just waiting for the sun to come up. I've been up two hours now. Already had breakfast.
