Snowmen
I forgot to mention last week that Chris has been utilising the snow to make some ace snowmen. He made a little one on top of a random car; he thought it was his mum's car (wrong!). And back at the hoose, he built one nearly as big as himself, although his mum soon claimed the carrot nose for soup!
The past week has been a good one. I had the now usual work week, which was good. My highlight was discovering the wonder of woolly tights. Chris had a great interview and mention of another job possibility. He has yet to experience the wonder of woolly tights himself. He's diverting himself with training to be a tenor in the upcoming carols by candlelight service at the Nodens' church.
The real fun began this weekend. On Saturday, we had a delicious lunch out with Tom. We'd been trying to get into this restaurant for lunch the past two weekends, but they were booked full each time. So this weekend, we booked in advance. Luckily the entree we were after was still on the menu: tagliatelle with pesto, spinach, garlic and haloumi cheese. STUNNING. We then met up with Tom's partner Fran and wandered through the international street market on our way to the thea-tah for the eagerly (on my part) awaited performance of "The Woman in Black". I'd seen it a couple times a long time ago in London, and I couldn't remember what happens in it, just that I loved it. I loved it this time too. It's absolutely spooky, good fun. I highly recommend it!
After the play, we wandered back through the market, sampling some lovely Dutch pancakes with sugar and lemon on the way. We then helped Tom and Fran move some stuff into their amazing new apartment before we made our way home. We had a lovely, lazy evening in front of the fire.
Today is a gorgeously sunny yet freezingly cold day (-2 degrees C). After church, we all worked to make a gorgeous lunch of buttermilk scones with Cheshire cheese and chives, washed down with some heavenly vegetable soup made by Shelagh.
We are so spoiled by the food and kitchen here, it will be hard to stay in hostels again!
It's hard to believe that tomorrow it will be December!
