Lesley came up last Wednesday for a visit, her train got in late at night so Nick picked her up and brought her back here for a bowl of soup and a sandwich before bed.  On Thursday we went into town for a potter around the shops and I rather smugly managed to buy her Christmas present for her.  How organised is that?  I did also manage to buy a birthday present for Gladys who turned 1 on the 12 August and I had completely mixed up my dates for that so missed it.  So not such an organised smarty pants all of the time.
On Thursday night Nick & I were out for cocktails at the mess and then I had my shift at the Byre on Friday.  On Saturday night Nick & I were out again, this time round at Jason's for dinner.  We had a great (but very late) night so Sunday was spent mostly lounging except for when we went out for a pub lunch.  On return from lunch we put the fire on as it was a very cold and windy day. 
So on Monday I finally managed to cook a nice meal and sit down for dinner with Lesley.  And then it was Tuesday and time for her to board the train back to Somerset.
