A better night's sleep. Yay. Today we had weather warnings which included very strong winds, possibly in the 100kmph, heavy rainfall and electrical storms. We did indeed get the high winds and I know some trees fell and some places had loss of power for some time. At the time of writing, we just had bad rain and wind. We do know the roessure was high because most of us suffered headaches and some of us earaches.
After a pancake breakfast, I wrapped UK Christmas presents before Huffle and I escaped for a couple of hours to do some errands. We visited several shops on the way to PortPerry and then several more shops there, including the chip shop. We took home a box and a half of chips (not the same as a bag, who decided boxes were the thing here?) and sent home a message to ask for the table to be set and a pot of tea to be made. We also visited the butcher for nice sausages for another day and the supermarket for bread to go with the chips. The bread got squashed en route but was still very nice as a chip butty. Huffle and I bought ourselves a 17th Wedding Anniversary present of a wind structure for the garden. It certainly got used today!
Grandma and Smallest had made an apple crumble, from the apples we bought from the farm last week, and cheese scones. Mid afternoon we ate the crumble and watched XFactor.
Today we played Monopoly Deal in teams (Grandad and I won), Newmarket (Small won) and Wizard (Smallest won). There have been many games of 'goalie' which eventually drove me mad with all the running around and kicking of a small foam ball. The kids had cabin fever as they haven't been out all day because of weather.
