Outing..

We decided to take ourselves out today..mainly because we needed some chicken for the cats!! We have made a routine for them of giving them a cat treat of chopped up chicken breast when we have our lunch. Serves us right really! Anyway we had run out. So VT decided we would go and get our free coffees at Dobbies.
Nice there, we had a bit of a look round and VT spotted a really nice little Acer tree for a fiver so said he would buy that later. He also bought a Spirea in their sale, and some plant food. I got a new little book about Pizzas..only 2.99 some shortbread biscuits fruits for cheese, and some meringue shells. Spent £27 odd so their free coffees do them a favour.
VT went into the garden after our lunch. He has developed a regeneration unit where he tends plants that need extra care.The little Acer tree falls into this category, and is presently being cared for. The plants that he does this to seem to thrive, the tiny little seedling that he was sent is now a flourishing tree. He is doing wonders in the garden and has quite a few really lovely plants now.
He has just come in actually saying that it is too hot! Our back garden does get very sunny in the afternoon, and since we had the tree cut down it is quite hot out there.
Jane rang up last night about the restaurant "Greens" in Didsbury near where she works. We have arranged to go over on Monday, and she can show us the sights, where she works, and where she used to live etc., and where she lives now. looking forward to it, I have fancied going there for a long time. I like Simon Rimmer.
Tonight we are having:
Pasta with
Asparagus, green beans peas and broccoli, with
A light sauce made from Greek Yoghurt.
Meringue with strawberries and raspberries.
