Outing...

Not really. We had our free coffee vouchers to use up for the month in the Ladygreen Nurseries garden centre, so we decided to go and use them. We had a pleasant walk round first, because I was keen to get two more plant pots for beside the front door, but they had sold out. not surprising really because they were very good value.
We went and got our coffees and were hard pressed to find somewhere to sit down. It was heaving with people..and a really popular place nowadays. Coming out i heard my name called eventually after about three times, and I had a nice chat with Judy harriss who I used to teach with at All Saints. She was looking very well and it was nice to see her, I haven't seen her in ages.
VT was looking round while I was chatting, and we then went and had a look at the plants etc., Bought a lovely blue pot that was reduced, I really wanted two of them but they only had one. The plant we bought was called "Coprosma Pacific Night". It just seemed to shout out at us buy me..it is a lovely purply coklour to the leaves, and an evergreen, so went nicely with our new pot. Never heard of them before, but we tend to buy things we like on sight, rather than other shrubs.
VT has spent the afternoon fixing his car aerial which came this morning. It was pushed through the letterbox and landed on the mat. Good job there wasn't a cat in there. He has almost finished but has found that a plug doesn't fit..so he is off to Formby aerial company to get one. Hope they have them. isn't it always the way when you are doing a job..something holds you up.
The Wimbledon is quite good at the moment. The ladies are playing for the semi finals. Venus Williams has just been knocked out by a girl from Bulgaria, and Serena is playing to stay in at the moment.
Tonight we are having:
Not exactly sure actually. Maybe a pasta dish. I have a nice pack of vegetables which I could use,
Second thoughts i might use a jar of sauce..M&S with mushroom Quorn fillets and mushroom
With the vegetables and asparagus and potato croquettes. yes that sound nice.
