All the ingredients of a great evening

This evening we planned to eat a simple meal, watch a little television and have an early night - until Jon arrived with a bottle of fizz! Mr hazelh and Jon have also indulged in Jura (supplied by Laura) - and this might have something to do with my triumph at Catan.

Earlier today we watched the 9:15am screening of Paddington 2 at the cinema. When we first took our seats it looked like it might be a private screening. However, we were eventually joined by a family of three adults and a (very well-behaved) baby. The film was fantastic. I loved watching Hugh Grant sending himself up, and surprised myself at how emotional I found the end of the story. I cried!

This afternoon Wiebke came over for afternoon tea. It was lovely to have her to ourselves for an hour and a half.

We have packed our cases for our long journey south tomorrow. Fingers crossed that we make our connection at Newcastle Central. We will have eight minutes to switch trains - assuming that the service from Edinburgh runs to time.

Exercise today: 34 minute run; 14,047 steps.
