Well, we've certainly had a run of nice weather given that it is December 5th! Quite warm - I think it was plus 6 or 7 today. I haven't bothered to break out my winter boots or winter coat. Any snow we had to date has melted and the grass is looking rather green (again considering the time of year!.
Today, we decided to get up off our tushies and get some shopping done - not really doing a lot this year - Jamie wants money to put towards a new laptop so he can play the new Star Wars game. These games are quite sophisicated - one has to pay a monthly fee to play - but according to Jamie he's been waiting for this game since he was 16 so it is (in his opinion) a must have!
We had our office Christmas party on Saturday and stopped in at Jamie and Julie's apartment - it's quite nice and they like it. They each have a computer set up - they're definitely gamers!
Our party was at the Scarlet Lady in the Market - it was one of those dinner theatres things. The theatre part was a bit hokey (to be expected) but the food was disappointing for the most part, I'd have to say. Still, the evening was fun and not a bad place for an office "do".
So, we hit a couple of stores today - including a bulk bin where we loaded up with stuff for Rick annual batch of nuts and bolts - wouldn't be Christmas with 'em!
The cats are enjoying the warm weather - but Nibbles doesn't go out too much - she is a a bit of a "lap cat" as you can see. Normally she will only sit on Kris' lap, but since he isn't home all that much, she's starting to make do with Rick's lap.
