 Our Road cannot be seen in this photo…oh joy

Looks like we are going to have to clear the cars off before we can leave… The drive looks a little covered too.

Outside the Snak van on the way to Work… The Bacon roll was a welcome fix after the drive in.  The roads at the roundabout looked like they had not seen any grit for some time… here’s hoping they will grit them before I need to leave in a few hours time….

Friday Russ and Lisa came over for dinner.

Menu
Fresh baked bread,oven baked jacket potatoes and one mean chilli.

Followed by chocolate pudding…. Um um.

A good night had by all must do it again soon.

Anyway the night ended late but was good.

Sarah Phone midday to tell me her dad had ended up in Hospital…Jean was in a real panic which is not normal.

We both Left work early so we could make sure he was ok and to give Jean some support as it cannot be nice to get that sort of phone call.

Well when we got to Peterborough hospital he looked as if he had been punched in the eye and looked somewhat bored.

It happens to be that he got up from his desk went to walk across the office only to pass out and come round with Paramedics over him…

Much to say he is alright and managed to get home later with the doctors thinking it was just a normal faint.

It was a long night after driving from Peterborough to Thetford and then back to Histon it was nearly 21.00 so we had a Chinese. UMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Wasn’t much left as I was really starving.

Lovely. That’s all I can say.

Well we have been to The Boot this lunch time it as really nice as usual.

The menu had changed since the last time however we had the lamb shank on a mustard & mint mash….., was really nice as you can see the only thing left was the bone.

Well we went to the Grafton Centre to get Sam some new shoes and we decided to get a coffee well we went to Lavazza an Italian cafe and well it was undrinkable and bitter, I have voted it the worst coffee I have ever had and possibly the worst coffee in the world In fact I had not even a mouth fall.

 Sarah seemed to enjoy her pot of tea.
