Monday 3rd May

I woke ridiculously early at seven thirty and came down to the empty house, had breakfast and watched the news before going online to check emails, i had one from vistaprint so looked at doing some invite postcards but they were going to cost 20 euros to get them in time so i didn't bother. I decided to do the invites anyway so mocked one up and fiddled about with it for about an hour, phoned Janine to check the wording, which she corrected! I printed one off and headed over to Janine's, she was quite impressed, it is double sided you know, we sat and chatted over a tea and a huge piece of chocolate cake with french style custard, very nice.
When i got back i printed off another fifteen sheets, folded and cut them and had thirty all together so headed out round the village popping them in letter boxes, it was a very windy cold day so it was not a pleasant task but that is it done now so there is no backing out! I returned to the house and had a bit of lunch, tried to watch 10000BC but really could not get in to it. I decided to have a quick game of Civilization, which last till nine thirty in the evening, it just eats up time and you don't realize the day has gone.
I had a healthy options tagliatelle with Cajun chicken for dinner, which was quite nice, and finished off the veg curry in the fridge, which was just as good as last week. I was watching an episode of Nigella Express whilst i ate and what she cooked looked really good, so i might try her pork chop Normandy with gnocchi for dinner tomorrow evening, if i can find some gnocchi. Watched Glee, and quite enjoyed it, they did one of my favorite songs, You Are Beautiful, which gave me goosebumps, then Ladies of Letters, not sure if this has transferred to Aus yet, but it stars two of our favorite comediens, Anne Reid and Maureen Lipman, and Lipmans character is now living in Melbourne, what a coincidence.
I headed up to bed with the girls and watched King of the Hill and The Cleveland Show, then read a chapter, the life story of the main character is so racked with being badly treated that it is starting to make me feel a little hopeless, you can't help hoping his tormentors are given their comeuppance. I gave the girls a last cuddle for the day and went to sleep.
