Lawrie's visit went well - we'd planned to see a friend for lunch at the local restaurant on the Saturday, but she wasn't well and could not come. As ever, a lot of flu and cold bugs around and her health isn't the best. It's been a cold few days, but I've managed with just the woodburner in the evenings and the Aga the rest of the time. Plus a heated blanket and an electric blanket - the first being one you put on your lap if you want it and the second going on the bed to pre-heat. The heated blanket could go over you at night if you're very cold - I doubt many people still have a completely unheated bedroom though, which is my choice. As long as the bed is warm, I like fresh air (if we have a really cold winter, I might change my mind).
Al and Dilly asked us over for lunch today - Pugsley had university deadlines so didn't come, but Squiffany and - this is awful, but I can't think of the blogname of their younger brother. I'll add it when I do - younger bro were there and it was a really good day. Al cooked because he does enjoy it, as do all my children. They're all coming for Boxing Day, as is Weeza and co. I haven't found out yet when Ro is coming over - I'm not sure that he's sorted things out with Dora yet. They do have agreed days and alternate weekends, but they're flexible and help each other out. Wink and I are always happy to fit in.
