A lot Milder...

What a difference a week makes. last Friday the snow was falling,and while we had planned to go to Walton, we ended up in Waitrose because of the weather which looked like it was settling in for another snow fest. Today, the sun was shining and it looked almost like there was a touch of Spring in the air. Early days yet though.
I had a quick look in Next and picked up a nice little necklace and earrings set. Didn't have a reduced price on it, so took it to the till. £13
she said, so I snapped it up. I do like a bargain.
We got our weekend things from Sainsburys, and couldn't decide what to have for tea tonight till we spotted some Hollands cheese and onion pies reduced so that's tea sorted. Store was very quiet, and we got round really quickly. Had a lovely mug of coffee in the car park, looking at a bush away from the sun, with a little robin looking at us!
Next doors still not back, and last night their landlord rang our bell to see if we had heard anything. VT gave him their number where they are and he rang later to say that he had contacted them, and he was still in hospital very seriouskly ill. So that isn't looking good. Chichester is an awful long way from home to be in hospital there. The little ginger girl is fine, and still comes running to meet our car so she can be let in. He is next door at the moment, sorting her out, and putting her food ready.She seems quite happy to be out for most of the day, and go in for the evening. He has got her into a lovely routin in the three weeks.
VT had his plumbers hat on this afternoon. The toilet in the one and only bathroom has been taking longer and longer to fill up after a flush, so after lunch he said he would go and have a look. A short while later he said that's fixed and it's working properly now. They are useful these men! That would have cost a bomb if we had a plyumber oyut. He is very good at fixing things actually, he loves tinkering around with things. He should have been a scientist I think.
Tonight we are having:
Hollands cheese and onion pie,
Chips 200 grms
Something tomatoey and saucey to go with.
