Thankfully I moved my in-lieu day from the 9th to the 18th. This meant that when we woke this morning to see even more snow had fallen overnight, I didn't have to make the effort to get into work. Dawn, who is always prepared, didn't make it in either. If it wasn't for the fact that I have to go to work next week, we could have started our Christmas today. Oh well.
I went into town and picked up a Cornish Pasty for lunch, food for Tiny at the vets, food at Waitrose, and then Boots the opticians. I'd sat on my glasses last night and slightly bent one of the arms. After they fixed it, I enquired about an eye test and was pleased to hear that I could get it done for nothing as they were doing a special that day. Better still, they had an opening at that exact time. And to round off a great visit, my eyes were okay and I don't have to go back for 2 years.
Sadly, Dad did not make it home as we had hoped. Talked to George, too, who is doing pretty well on his own. In between shopping and visiting Dad, he seems to be able to cook two meals a day and enjoy a breakfast, too.
