Not to worry since my name isn't Julius Caesar!
Did things a bit differently this morning. VT had a voucher from our local newspaper for a free cup of coffee at Costa Coffee. Since we are fans of Costa we thought we would go into formby, do our shopping at Waitrose, and then try the new Costa.So that is what we did. Didn't need much in the way of veggies, and got a few other things, put them in the car, then went for our coffee. turns out the new bar is lovely, seats downstairs and more seats upstairs. very comfortable and well laid out, and not too busy either. i had a small Americano which was quite big actually, and VT had a Lattee, and we shared a bag of little shortbreads. very pleasant experience, i would go back, but not too often, it is quite a pricey trip. £4-7p for one Americano and a bag of shortbreads, and VT's was free!
Jane has just rung us up. She is doing training for the Olympics in 2012 and the selling of tickets. Apparently there is to be a big launch on Monday and then people will ring in with details etc. There are going to be nine million tickets sold for the events. Quite mind blowing actually. When you think of all the organisation that is going to be needed. She is off for the next three days, and is planning to go to the College open evening on Thursday night.
Tonight we are having:
Gruyere cheese escalope,
Cauliflower and broccoli cheese,
Sliced and sauteed potatoes.

You should try the biscotti in Costa - fabulous.
Didn't see them in this one, because it is new we aren't used to where they are. Will try next time we go. give us an excuse to go back. Thanks for the heads up. Oh it's lovely this retirement lark.. sitting in Costa sipping coffee!
