What To Do First?

It's always nice to know someone has got your back covered

I've got a number of things to do today, all of which I had planned quite nicely until the events of yesterday.

You see my Dad has decided to go and see his Aunt after all, and with it being such a long drive I'd offered to help out if I could in anyway, either that be by offering my Dad a place to stay here overnight or by helping with the driving if I could. But it's not until 1pm that I know if he needed my help or not and so up until that point I didn't know if I'd be driving to Boston or not or even for that matter staying away tonight in Skegness.

As it happens he decided to make the trip on his own, which meant that I could get into doing all the jobs I need to do today, including giving the house a bloody good clean so that it's all nice for the holidays. The cleaning really does take most of the day (with the occasional break to watch some trip or the other on TV, after all tis the season of good old fashioned Christmas films) and afterwards I have very little time to do much else as Phil gets home almost on time (which is a first for a good couple of months now). I also keep in touch with my Dad on a regular basis via mobile to make sure he's doing ok on his long trip - and it seems he makes good progress throughout the 6 hours of driving, and makes it to his final destination at around 9.30pm.

The rest of the evening is spent eating pizza (take out as a treat) and watching Mr and Mrs Smith - which wasn't quite what I was expecting, but non the less a pretty good film. You can definitely tell that Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt had a thing going on whilst they were filming it, you couldn't get some of those knowing looks even with the best acting skills.
