Yesterday was a thoroughly miserable day weather wise - very cold, wet and grey. A definite day to keep in the warmth of the house. More sorting out of cupboards was undertaken - why do we store so much stuff? Again we had a pile of things to put in Esmerelda, things to put away for Cyprus, things to offer on freecycle and things to throw away. It is a very satisfying job to sort through belongings though - it makes you feel like you are sorting out your life - which you are in a way.
As explained in my last blog we went all the way to our next door neighbours last night to enjoy a meal with them. Steve and Jackie moved in to the next door bungalow last July. Before they actually moved in Steve called round and introduced himself and we realised that he is actually an old police colleague of my Steve's. That created a friendly connection immediately and they have become very comfortably ensconced in their bungalow and within our lives since then. We don't see that much of them but as Steve and I are both at home all week we have a few conversations over the garden wall. They have had a meal with us previously and we talked into the early hours. So last night we went to share the evening with them. They prepared a gorgeous meal for us, lots of chatting was undertaken and we practiced working the camera on the timer setting to capture the four of us together. Thankfully we did not have far to stagger home - again in the early hours and a Sunday morning is always a good time to recover.
Hopefully Steve and Jackie will come out to see us in Cyprus and many more late nights will be enjoyed there.
