Guess what.... we had snow yesterday.

For all of 60 SECONDS.  Then the sun came out.  We did have quite a bit of rain though and some hail, and it was cold.  Oh well!!! 
 
This morning the weather looks a bit calmer.  It doesn't look like there is much wind, the trees aren't even moving.
 
Not really much to tell today.
 
Still getting used to my glasses.  Everything is still a bit sloping and the floor still looks blurred.  I keep tripping over things.  But I'm wearing them all day now, rather than just for a few hours a day.  I haven't driven in them yet.  Don't know whether I will chance that.  We'll see tomorrow.  Keeping the lenses clean is a problem.  Usually just a wipe with a cloth does the job, but it's leaving them smeared.  I may have to get some proper cleaner.
 
Adam goes back to school tomorrow so it will be back to normality now.  They have a new bus company driving them to school now, so I might follow the bus to school just to see how they drive.  One of the moms usually does this to just check.  Although the kids know to tell if they don't like the driver's driving.
 
We will be taking all the Christmas decorations down to day.  It doesn't seem like they have been up five minutes.  This holiday season has just flown.
 
I have been quite busy the last few days.  It seems like everyone is starting to book their summer holidays.  I have taken three booking for our caravans in the last two days, and I have had several enquiries. So that is good news.
 
Yesterday we took Adam to have his haircut, and Laura had hers done at the same time. We also went to the local tip and got rid of everything that is broken, we were never going to get them fixed, so they went.
 
That's about it I think.  Nothing planned for today except maybe a bit of shopping.
 
Have you noticed I haven't mentioned my car.  Yes,!!!!  I have it back on the road. JUST!!!  Yesterday Keith phoned to see if they had had the part delivered.  The chap said NO.  WTH.  Keith told him that we need the car back for Monday.  Chap said he would ring the dealer to see if they could get the part delivered today (saturday).  We weren't having none of this, we rang the dealer ourselves, only to be told it had already been delivered. Keith rang the garage back,  Oh suddenly they have the part.  Keith told him "I'm bringing the car over now" So he did.  They charged us over DOUBLE what they told us it would cost.  We will never, never, never use that garage again!!!! and we will never recommend it to anyone.  Enough said.!!!
 
I am calm now and I'm going to drink my tea, which Keith has very kindly brought up to me.  He is useful sometimes.  I have to go do Adam some breakfast as well.  I also have 107 alerts.  I am never going to catch up.  I'm sorry.  I will read some later though.
 
I hope you all have a great Sunday.

Glad to hear your car is back on the road, I would be lost without mine!  Our weather has been freaky ~ it was 14 the other day and now it is high 50's.  Not complaining, bring on the warm weather!!!  Have a nice Sunday.

Glad that you have your car back in running shape. That garage did you a dirty deal on over pricing the job. Getting used to new glasses can be a trial. Fortunately I only need mine to read. I have made my letters larger on my computer and that really helps LOL. Helen

I take it you now have bi-focal glasses?  I have a pair here - wore them once for about 15 minutes and had such a headache that I've put them away and never wore them again!  What a waste of money.  I suppose I should try again. ::sigh::

Glad you got your car back in running order.  Sorry to hear you had such an ordeal getting it repaired.  I wouldn't go back to that garage either.

I still have my Christmas tree up!  I like it up.  It makes me feel cheery!  I think I will leave it up the whole month, LOL.
