it was nice for you to get out whilst the sun was shining (for a change!), and to buy a couple of treats. I love buying a new jumper now and again. What colour was it?
Sorry you have a bit of a problem in your neck discs. 
So as you say,important to keep it warm with a scarf this time of year.

Sounds like you got the perfect watch for you and not a bad price too.
My friend's house is an old house and the plastering not so good, so she wanted it papered with that thick plain stuff that you paint over. My daughter stripped the old stuff off, then my OH had to plaster in a few places where the walls were uneven before they could even start the wallpapering.
Your big mushroom brekkie sounds good, I love mushrooms, I have started cooking them with a smear of marmite to give them a bit of extra taste.Did you know you are supposed to put them in a window to get daylight on them for awhile before eating, as that adds to their Vitamin D levels?
Hope your silicon comes soon, and good job you did manage to do one window already, as now they are saying we are due yet another windy/rainy storm!
We were out a fair bit today as I got some shopping from Costco, so I don't even know if the roof man came to check the roof. If he hasn't I reckon the leak will start again. Will ring LL tomorrow to see if he came.
That was lovely for you to have your family visit today, and even nicer as they came bearing a nice gift for you. 
I am sure you enjoyed deciding what to spend it on.
Yes wish this damn virus would go away!
I watched "Bargain Loving Brits", then a good drama on itv.
Daugher is on antibiotics for a bad sinus infection now. She had terrible pain in her face, so bad she couldn't sleep for 3 nights, so doc has put her on a course of antibiotics. Son has an infected big toenail, so is on tablets for 6 months! Only 1 a day, but it takes ages to tackle it apparently. It orignated ages ago from when he dropped some theatre scenery on it, and has got more painfull recently. Can't believe how many health problems my family have had this year. My kids rarely take meds, but all 3 have this year, and I rarely have antibitocs, but had 3 strong lots this year. Roll in the end of winter and these damn germs. Well I hope this virus thing does go by spring time.
Have a good evening both xxx
