Dracula Time...

I had to have a blood test done this week, from the Nephrology clinic.So, we decided that today would be a good day to get it done. This entailed a trip to Aintree hospital so we went mid morning. parked in the multi storey car park, and luckily VT spotted a space quickly, normally we have a trek round to get one. Walked to the blood taking area, and lo and behold there was no-one waiting! so walked straight in. This was the quickest ever. Sitting having my blood taken, and who should walk in but Mr W., who I have seen in the Diabetic clinic. The man is nuttier than a fruit cake, and I noticed the two vlood girls giving each other the eye, so we had a bit of a conversation about him. God knows why he is a consultant, he wanders round with fies looking like some mad professor..a very well paid one too..
Anyway, we were in and out in a matter of minutes, so VT said we might get the half hour free here, so he ran along the very warm glass long corridor to the ticket machine, only to find that you have to pay £2 anyway... never mind.
Went from there to the M&S in Aintree which isn't far, and had a look round. Nothing appeals to me there, and their clothing is really expensive for what it is.Not terribly good quality either. I'll stick to QVC and Bon Marche. Did have a look at handbags, and spotted one that I fancied, for £22 which I thought wasn't bad..and it was.....PURPLE too!! so well pleased. When I went to buy it, found that it was £17.50 so an even better bargain. Well pleased.
Had a lovely cup of coffee upstairs where it was quite busy today,but a lot of mums with babies..must be the outing season.
Home by lunchtime to the little ginger girl from next door who came out to greet us, ours were nowhere to be seen..charming!! we give them chicken and all sorts and they can't even be bothered to come and greet us.
VT is in the garden this afternoon, but he has just come in to say that it is too hot out there, yet only a few weeks ago it was freezing cold..just no pleasing some is there.
Tonight we are having:
Something from the freezer, pie maybe
8oz mashed potatoes
Whatever veggies we have to use up.
