Lunch, Preparations and a Mouse!!

We have had a lovely three days being very busy and having some 'us' time as well. On Friday David and Marilyne took us to a wonderful restaurant about twenty minutes away, the Auberge du Pont de Brie. I think we had about seven courses in the end, thank goodness the kids were not there!! It was a thank you to Andrew for all of his hard work during the summer and birthday presents for us both! What a lovely day!! Andrew and I even managed some Christmas shopping in the morning. I think I managed to cross about four names from the list, now only another twelve to go!!! Yesterday afternoon was spent at the school helping to make things for the christmas fair. I am not sure how I end up doing these things, must me mad. I spent three hours chopping and painting corks and turning them into Father Christmases and his elves!!! Today has been spent making sure everything is tidy and making sure our new house guests do not get any comfy spaces. We appear to be having a little issue with little creatures. The dogs are useless, so we have resorted to good old fashioned traps and chocolate raisins. They love them!! Lets hope we get rid of them soon. I am sure they can find a warmer house somewhere close!!! At least it keeps Peter amused though!!
