Since it was a niceish day, and since we weren't waiting in for anything, we decidid to go over to Dobbies to have a look round, and of course get our free coffee.
Had a good look round and spotted a couple of things we wanted, VT got some lovely little solar lights for the garden. Our last lot which we have had about four years he reckons have bitten the dust. These are twinkly little bluey white ones. I love little lights. It's amazing how things alter in there. The last time we were there it was all Valentine things, now it is Mother's Day and Easter eggs. Huge Christmas area has all gone and is now filled with conservatory and garden furniture. must be awful working in a shop like that, you must forever be shifting things around.
I spotted a necklace and earring set that I fancied..VT was saying.."you've got enough jewellery" what a cheek!! from the man who has more pens than W.H.Smiths!! At least I use my stuff!!Nearly bought a set of three small yankee candles really sorry that I didn't now, I love scented candles, and these were gorgeous "flavours"..fluffy towels, clean cotton and fresh linen. Really beautiful.
Great coffee, and then home via Waitrose because the cats didn't have any chicken. Of course VT spotted two of his favourite vegetablle pasties reduced, and so got those. Very restrained shopping, we only got about five items..and spent twelve pounds, five of that on the cat chicken!
Must admit to being a tad niggled with Waitrose. There was a half page piece about the store in our free newspaper this week, which said hardwarking staff were celebrating big profits with an %18 Bonus of their salaries!! Erm..it isn't due to the hardwarking staff it's due to their prices being higher than everyone elses so of course their profits are going to be higher. It must annoy the workers in ASDA, Sainsbury's and the others, who don't get anything. I do think that I object to paying extra on the groceries to pay them big bonuses though. On the way to Dobbies we go through a village called Ainsdale, who are currently having a bit of a war against Tesco. There are yellow signs everywhere saying.."Say No to tesco", who are planning to build a tesco Express store in the village. They do have a bit of an image problem tesco do..I don't like the bullying tactics that they use against farmers etc., and the way they take over sites. You know it os going to be inevitable though as they push their way into everywhere.
Tonight we are having:
Garlic Kievs,
Any leftover veggies in the fridge,
Squashed potatoes.
