Aliens!

I had a very lazy morning and achieved nothing. But I had a lovely afternoon to compensate. I went with Carole into town to have a mooch around the markets. It is the first time I've been able to get up close to the stalls...not many people were hanging around as it was absolutely bucketing down. As the rain got heavier and heavier and we got wetter and wetter we decided to go for lunch. 

We decided on Italian and it was fantastico! A glass of tia maria and coke went down rather nicely too. We then went along to Manchester Cathedral to the Carols in the City service. It was all in aid of Manchester Children's Hospital. It was packed out and the service was great. I went to a service at the local church last year and they sang highfalutin carols that no-one knew so I went up went I should have gone down and down when I should have gone up...basically I sounded like a strangled cat!

We sang our little hearts out to all the old favourites....I'd forgotten how high some are though ha ha ha. A good time was had by all. 

I've just got in and I'm shattered so off to bed as I'm up early for work. This working lark doesn't half hamper my days!!
