We all had a slightly longer lie in this morning as S and M weren't heading off till noon.  This meant we had time to enjoy a full cooked breakfast and linger over coffee and more chat. 

D and I woke this morning to find the cistern in our bathroom taking forever to refill after it had been flushed.  Oh joy.  After organising a plumber (can't come till Saturday) he headed off to play golf at Leven.

Alan's support worker Christine was here today (to Alan's delight :-) and she made Alan (and me and D) very happy by confirming she will be here on Christmas Day.  This will be her eighth Christmas Day with us.  She's become part of the family :-)

D returned from golf and we decided we were both too lazy tired to cook so we got an Indian takeaway and watched rubbish tv.  Bliss :-)
