Today has been a washout

Evening.

I don't know what the weather has been like in your neck of the woods, but it has been a wash out here in more ways than one.

I promised the kids that we would go swimming this weekend. They have been asking since lockdown first started, so were so excited at the prospect of going today. Well the Gods were definitely against us. There was two hour wait at the swimming pool, and it was freezing cold outside in the queue, so we abandoned that in favour of finding Mum some petrol for work next week and doing some food shopping. Hopefully both could be achieved at Morrisons. The queueing was very well organized, but I decided that it would be easier if I took the kids inside and bought them lunch as we hadn't been able to do that at the pool.

Wrong again. The kitchen in the canteen had been flooded out so all that was on offer was a couple of rolls and some gingerbread cookies, and a very disgusting cup of coffee. All in all not a good day for the little ones. Mum did manage to get petrol, and we did the shopping so I suppose it wasn't a complete bust, although the children were definitely not impressed.

We decided that a hot chocolate and a snuggle while we watch a movie was the best way to spend the rest of the day, and then Emma helped Daddy cook the dinner which she always enjoys.

So given the grotty weather, here is a nice bright card to cheer you all up.

A butterfly wouldn't like it around here at the moment, winter has definitely set in.

Thanks for stopping by.

I do hope that it cheers up tomorrow so that at least we might be able to get out for a walk.
