NaBloPoMo 22 all by myself

Woken by Phoebe creeping in for her usual morning hug, then up to get her breakfast and to get Lydia up for ballet. Everyone relatively cheerful as it was the weekend. Had a quick shower and packed the girls bag for the weekend, as Tom taking them to his mum's.  Lydia off to ballet with Penelope this morning. 

I then went out to have coffee and a catch up with an old NCT friend, Rachael in Locks Heath. Cute little coffeeshop and lovely catch up. Forgot they had a good wine shop there, so had a look in case there was something for Tom's Christmas present.

Went to Whitley after to do some returns and have a bit of a look around. I needed jeans and gym shorts and had my eye on doing a bit of Christmas shopping whilst I had the chance. Nothing inspiring clothes wise, all the colours so dull. Picked up a few little bits for the kids. 

Was supposed to be going to the pub with another friend this evening but they cancelled so home for an evening of clearing the kitchen, putting washing away and starting to pack for my trip to Bruges next week. The house is very warm and cosy, but missing Tom and the girls without the distraction of being out.
