4-0

Forty quid it cost to watch Chelsea thrash Norwich will a dull ease (that's ten pounds a goal!). Norwich were all heart and played with an uncommon passion but just couldn't quite find a hole. Chelsea on the other hand got the ball with a sigh and BAM! it's in the back of the net. It's all very boring at the top of the league.

Anyway, what was less boring was Maria's meeting with the dressmaker. Natasha is a very slight oriental woman with whom Maria had a good time sorting through materials and chatting about how the whole thing is going to look. She'll come back in January for a second fitting for adjustments but it will pretty much be done in a week or two - hurrah! Maria feels good about it which is the main thing and i can find something else to stress about - actually i'd rather just have christmas! I'll be able to pick up my license to marry tomorrow :)

Today was also a sad day for Tesco online shopping substitutions. I don't mean to be fussy but Tesco's "Chocolate Treats" are no substitute for a tin of Quality Street - whatever way you look at it. Internet - bah!
