We had a really lovely day yesterday with Joy, Matt and Talia. The food at the restaurant was really lovely and enjoyed by all. We also had great service and very cheerful waiters. We filled the day with chatting it was great. Before going I managed a bit of tidying and some knitting in the evening - so a very productive day.

Today Chloe is off out with Joy to buy shoes for the wedding and Paul is off to London for the opera. It is hard not to feel jealous that they are able to be going out to do lovely things. But hey ho I need to make the best of my day here. Maybe a bit more tidying and some more knitting. Maybe some time in the garden - I need to plan my pots.
