Good morning all. We had a lovely day. Sorry I was awol from here, I was in the kitchen.

For lunch we had ham, chicken, pasta salad, green salad, potato salad, curried eggs, potato Pom poms, then for desert, pavlova, ambrosia, triffle, strawberries, fruit salad, and jelly.

For dinner we had canapés, then turkey, and left over ham, pasta salad, green salad replated and refreshed, rice salad, whole potatoes, then desert was sugar free jelly, chocolate pavlova, steamed fruit pudding with custard

I needed a bigger fridge. I had 4 chilli bins running as well at one point and cycling stuff in and out of my deep freezer to keep it cold but not freeze it.

My in laws stayed last night, so we were on the air bed. A fold out bed is on the shopping list for this coming year. FIL thinks he might have just driven for the last time, so time to prepare a more permanent bedroom.

Today, I'm exhausted. Leftovers I think for the next 3 days.
Everything happens for a reason

We had a lovely day, although my tolerance levels for children other than our two grandchildren were severely tested :oops: Michael's cousin shouts a lot of the time, saying the same thing over and over and he has a much louder voice than M. I feel sorry for him though, his father died in March and he has to compete for his mother's attention with his sister who has spina bifida and I feel he gets pushed aside a bit. Gorgeous meal, we got home about 8.30, and my sister came too, so we watched Downton. Miss Osc just texted to say the stragglers have just left and they are falling into bed. Just heading to bed ourselves.
