Monday 4th Jan

Up late, after ten thirty, i left ant in bed and came down, put the heater on and made a coffee. Put the computer on and did the usual, had a good long email from mum, which is always nice, and i started the blog. I did my cafe on face book and had a good look at the Stamford Grand Glenelg, looks like a very swanky joint so i am very much looking forward to that. Ant came down by twelve in the afternoon and we chatted on about stuff for a bit then David phoned, their washing machine is still not working so i said i would pop in for a look on my way to the Gym. Ant and i had a little lunch, was quite nice a roast chicken and cranberry sauce ciabatta sandwich then i headed off to the gym.

I had a look and David's washing machine, it seems to be saying there is a blockage, it was speaking in french! so i advised them to try to clear out the waste water tube, which he did. Then to the gym where i did a good hours work out, quiet again, fortunately, i am not seeing any of the fruits of my labour yet but it will come. After the gym i popped in to Aldi and picked up a new kettle and some other bits before heading home. When i got back Ant had the fire on, which was nice, and we tried the new kettle out, the water tasted a bit funny so we will look at buying a water filter. We sat and chatted for a little bit then i went on line to have a look at how much a first class return on Etihad cost, we were both quite impressed at the first class seat they have, looks nicer than ba, and there was an email from Mark, their machine is still not working so they are coming tomorrow to do some washing at our place.

We had a nice steak pie with mushy peas and boiled potatoes for dinner, made by Ant, sat and chatted for a bit more then watched a little tv till the end of the evening. Hence passed another evening.
