Weekend 16th May

I woke on Saturday and came down, had coffee, watched the news, did the blog and had a little internet time, ant came down a little later. At ten thirty Marte arrived, we were still in pajamas, she was a little earlier than i had thought. I made her a coffee and we quickly got dressed, then we all went for a walk for a couple of hours and ant and Marte chatted away. When we got back Usha phoned to say they were popping round, so we sat and chatted to them for a while and then headed to St Pol to drop our id in to the estate agents. We bought a couple of sandwiches and three cream cakes in a shop in St Pol then drove home and sat out to eat them.
I had planned to invite Janine over for the third cream cake but she was not in so we ate ours and then started doing bits and pieces, then Janine returned and i invited her over. We sat and chatted to Janine for a good while then she headed home and we decided to cocoon ourselves upstairs, ant packed and i watched the tv. We had dinner, a nice sausage stew, and an evening in front of the tv, an early night.
We woke at five on sunday, ant got himself ready and i made coffee, at five thirty we headed off to Calais, had a bit of a panic when the petrol station at Fruges was closed but the one further on was open. We got to the tunnel in plenty of time and then had a clear and easy drive up to Heathrow. I dropped ant off about an hour before he needed to be there then headed back, made good time again and was at Ashford Tesco before it opened. I had a good mooch round Tesco and bought plenty of meat and a couple of bottles of New Zealand white for Tuesday night. I made it back to the tunnel in time for my train, then drove back on clear roads, stopped in on Jackie and Tony to drop off some milk and then got home and let the dogs out, no mess fortunately.
I had an easy going afternoon, watched a bit of tv, did a bit on line, spoke to mum for a good while, sounds like she had a good day, and spoke to gran. I had a nice long bath, coq au vin for dinner, which was very nice, and then had a Family Guy evening in bed, watching the two new episodes on bbc 3, then went to sleep around twelve. I am still finding the spare bed a little less than comfortable, i cant quite figure out why, think i am sleeping on the wrong side of the bed.
