Another Freebie!!

VT seems to be on a mission to use all his vouchers for the month. His little wallet is bulging with them Ha Ha! Today's was for a free coffee from Costa Coffee from our local newspaper. Now that is a good deal aactually. So, we went into Formby, which has a nice classy Costa Coffee shop, It's all yummy mummies and women with large shoulder bags, and older couples with a bit of dosh. He had a Soya latte with hazelnut, and I had an Americano..which came in a huge cup.. Beautiful little bag of shortbread biscuits..very nice.He had to go and collect his trousers which were being shortened from a chap who is a retired tailor, and lives in Formby, so it wasn't out of our way.
He made a beautiful job of them, properly overlocked and the seams all matching. My sewing machine won't do overlocking, so the turn up would have been very thick. Cost him £8, but the trousers were bought new from a charity shop and are beautiful cord ones so they are still a cheap buy. Well he likes a bargain too does VT.
Phone call this afternoon from a chap from Cameroon!!! who couldn't say our name properly. kept asking for our house name then our surname...am I the only one who is getting fed up with phone calls from foreign men and women who can't say your name correctly. usually wanting you to transfer to another service. Just after your money really.
Funny day today, a bit misty this morning, could almost have been an October day except for the daffodils which are lovely at the moment. Funny how you notice them by the side of the road, little clumps of them in most unusual places. I love daffodils, they are such bright cheerful flowers. Don't like them in the house though, much better in gardens and the wild. Ours in the barrel in our front garden are lovely this year.

Our orchid plant is still flowering too. It first flowered on the 1st of December!! and here we are at nearly the 1st of March!!! and it is still in bloom. What a great buy that was. VT bought it for my birthday in July eighteen months ago, and has tended it really carefully. I'm amazed how it has reflowered,

What a bloom...
Tonight we are having:
Spinach and feta slice
Baby new potatoes sliced and sauteed
Vegetables.
