The street 
party was lots of fun in spite of the rain. We all congregated at one of the neighbours house and then we went outside to sing a couple of Christmas tunes - including jingle bells, frosty the snowman and joy to the world (which was the hardest to stay in tune). The lights are constructed at the end of the cul de sac and it is a tree-like arrangement made from strings of light with a star on top that is a family heirloom and apparently is about 60 years old. We all went back in the house for drinks and eats. It is bring a plate just like the summer BBQ. This time I made mini toad in the holes. They went down a treat, so worth the effort trying to buy pork sausages! Stuart's bottle of Macallan also went down a treat, more with the women than the men!

now we fit in with the street, although we refuse to but the blow up Santa arrangement on the front lawn! Stuart is very clever as he has used the timer so the lights go on and off automatically!

Stuart is very clever as he has used the timer so the lights go on and off automatically!Monday morning was a bit of a struggle after too much red wine. However, I had to recover as we had the wine dinner last night with lots more wine. My poor diet is really being tested in it first week.
Today, I took Misty to the car doctor. She has been making a strange noise. The garage today confirmed it was wheel bearings but at the moment they cant work out which wheel is is so they have told me to come back when it starts to roar!! It is perfectly safe to drive, I just need the radio a little louder.
The weather is crazy here. Last week we had the snow on Friday and it went down to minus 3 degC but today the temperature has risen back up to the mid twenties, even this evening it is about 19degC! Mind you, it is very hot and sticky, all the windows were steamed up and the clouds have been really low, I could see out of the office window today because the cloud was down like the Aberdeen haar!
