Anya and family had plans for this morning and said they would come along mid afternoon as I had already said that I would get dinner for us all again. So I went up the road to catch the bus so that I could have a wander round in town.  The bus was running late, but there were three of us at the stop and one of the guys phoned to see where it was. I took a picture up the street as the sky was bright and the clouds moving quickly.
As you can tell, is was misty as well, so quite a good effect. I walked down Bar Street in town was going to see if the little old fashioned toy shop was open. The way the sun was shining the Christmas lights looked like they were turned on.
At the end of the street there is a blank wall opposite, but today with the mist and sun it had weird patterns on and  I couldn't quite make it out at first glance.
Looking south the south bay was really misty.

Looking the other way towards the north and there was no mist, the north bay was clear as well.
Sitting at the computer this afternoon I realised the window cleaner was working. He doesn't always do my windows and I have to give a gentle reminder!
I went out and salted the path and a bit of the pavement later as where he has spilt water it was freezing and quite dangerous. I didn't want any accidents when Anya and family came or when Darren got home from work. While I was in town I went into the shop that I had bought the large dog ornament from before Christmas, because they had a sale and I had seen an ornament I wanted before Christmas too. I know, I don't need any more stuff, but there was only one left and it was calling my name!!
I love him!! The family came a bit before three pm and we had a very tasty roast dinner at 5 pm. Anya and I had one game of 'Bananas' their new crossword type board game (no board though). They set off back to the apartment at about 7 pm and will be going home via York tomorrow so we won't see them any more this time. I have dvds to watch but not sure I feel like it, don't feel too much like doing any jigsaw either, I could write some letters.

  1. Another quite busy day for you but at least you got to take some great pics. I love the two of South bay. They really are good.
    The ornament really was made for you :-) It's a bit bigger than I expected from your email, but doesn't take up any room at all :-)
    Bet you'll be glad when all these holidays are over now, you must be getting fed up cooking roast dinners every other day. You should try to sit back and put your feet up for a while, but I know you won't!

  2. It was a good photo opportunity day, I liked the ones of south bay too. The ornament is about a foot tall, but just had to have it!! No cooking on the menu for me tomorrow that's for sure!
