Pronounced Haysbruh.........

 
We are going on holiday at the end of this week, so the beginning of the week is deciding what we need to take. It's self catering and on the Norfolk coast, so not a warm location in November and could be very wet. I started off gathering roll necks and jumpers, blankets and hot water bottles! 

Monday morning was dentist with Daughter and O. We always go together when it's just the six monthly checkup. She dropped me back home in time for half of the coffee morning so I still got to see everyone. 

Quite a while ago Tesco reduced the value of their points reward so just before the deadline we cashed some in for Pizza Express vouchers. This wet Wednesday, as we weren't eating out in the evening, we treated ourselves to a free lunch. 

Turns out the price of all we ordered and the amount of vouchers we actually had it was a half price lunch. Thoroughly yummy though. 

Sadly Wednesday afternoon Son reported he has covid again. So we are not looking after their dog on Thursday and they'll not be sleeping over,  they've cancelled the concert they should have gone to and they'll not be coming on holiday with us Friday as planned. Then Thursday fiancé tested positive too so really hoping they get negative tests very soon and can join us partway through the week. 

This is where we are staying

The week was bought by Daughter and Son for my big birthday last August and it's big enough for Hubby and I, our children and partners, grandchildren and a partner and even the two dogs. November was the only week everyone could do, and even then we knew they couldn't all do the whole week.

That was the plan and what actually happened was Friday Hubby and I loaded the car (seems like we covered most eventualities) and with only a couple of hold ups en route we arrived about 3:30pm. We had a full nosey round the house, which looks very well equipped and found some cookies left as a welcome gift, we chose our bedroom and settled with a cuppa. 

Daughter and O arrived about 5pm. The dog was pleased to see me. 

We decided on fish and chips for dinner which Hubby and Daughter went out for, then O found trivial pursuit in a drawer so we played that.... for two hours hahaha. 

I was awake a lot of the night, which is normal for me in a strange bed, but the bed was really comfy and the house very warm, a bit too warm in fact. So this morning after hearing Daughter and the dog up I got up which was about 6:45am. Daughter had already gone out for a walk with the dog. 

Time for breakfast so I'll post this now and hopefully have lots to report in next week's.
