Sunday. Ahhhhhhh. Nothing to do. Chill Radio playing. More Christmas presents ordered via the wonder that is the internet while the boys played on their tablets and Wii. A nice gentle morning with the sunshine beating through the kitchen window camouflaging how cool it really was outside. Actually it wa very mild today. Weird how many sunny days we have had this year.
Mid morning, Huffle and I went out by ourselves leaving the kids playing on the Wii. We bought the Christmas Cake ingredients and spices to make Mulled wine plus a few extras for today's dinner. There was a woman in the supermarket who was buying napkins purely for the use of her guests using her bathroom. She said that she was told other people don't like to use your towels as they could be unhygienic. Go use your own bathroom then!!!!! Honestly some people DO pander!

We came home, unpacked, had a quick sandwich and then we all made a start on dinner. Today we made pasta from scratch. Huffle and Small made the pasta. Huffle kneaded. All the boys rolled it and cut it. Small and I made a tomato sauce. Smallest and I made an Alfredo Sauce and Small and I made a garlic bread. It was a proper family affair. Small and I also made Chocolate Mousse for later.
In betweeen, the boys went out and played football. We had a fabulous dinner. Possibly the BEST pasta we have ever made.
Afterwards we went for a walk along the train tracks.
This evening we all watched I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here while outside we enjoyed the Supermoon. Why was it a supermoon?
"When a full moon makes its closest pass to Earth in its orbit it appears up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter, making it a supermoon. This month’s is especially ‘super’ for two reasons: it is the only supermoon this year to be completely full, and it is the closest moon to Earth since 1948. The moon won’t be this super again until 2034!
