Cold. Very cold.

Bike. Uninterrupted. But only half an hour.

Becky kindly came and took Archie out in the freezing cold. In fact, after an hour, I texted her and told her to come home - it was too cold for (wo)man or beast to be out.

We met up with a friend for lunch at Montpelier's. Luckily we'd booked, as it was mobbed. Jings it was cold coming home across the Links. Archie was very happy to hog the fire when we got home, and even agreed to pose with an elf's hat I’ve been informed that it is, in fact, Santa's hat.

We had a friend who's a carpenter come and measure up for a new kitchen cabinet. No rush, as we're STILL waiting for another quote for the kitchen work to come in!!! Getting very fed up with this renovation lark, and we haven’t even started yet!

Happy birthday Bob!
