Lee and I had a game of Scrabble last night which was enjoyable, we usually manage a couple of games when I am over here. This morning, when the children were all at school, we drove over to Danbury  mall. We arrived at about 9.30 am and it didn't open until 10 am! Lee said he had never managed to park so close to the entrance. We did find a coffee stall open so had a drink while we waited for the shops to open. We went out separate ways and agreed a meeting time and place. There is a carousel at the back of the food court. Quiet when I went by it of course.

Santa's grotto was quite impressive.

And this was quite a stylish Christmas shop.

They are getting in the Christmas spirit at the house as well, the soldiers are out on guard by the garage!

I had a little wander round outside, it was a beautiful day today. The pool area looks quite different when the pool is out of action.

A couple of pictures of the house, haven't posted any in quite a while.

I sat in the hot tub for just over an hour and was seriously over cooked! Took a while for my face to stop tingling. My ankle has been particularly painful today so I moved it around a lot in the warm water and that seemed to help. While I was out I just bought myself a gecko to go on my bathroom wall, I have four already I think. This one was hand crafted in Bali and will be lovely and bright when in place.

I made a quick pattern and have been cutting out the cushions to match the ottoman. There is barely enough material and one of the backs will consist of three pieces of fabric! I need some more tape as well so will get some when I go to the quilting shop tomorrow. Mark made me cheese ravioli for my dinner and Lee and I have had another game of Scrabble this evening.Won't be late getting to bed as I am feeling quite tired, probably still recovering from being over heated!!
