Is It Friday? Not Quite...

Bit of a topsy turvy week this week due to the bank holidays etc..and of course The Royal Wedding tomorrow.
We decided to go and get some things today instead of tomorrow as we usually do, so we went to Waitrose. Seems that the world and his wife had the same idea because the car park was heaving. it is quite a big car park too, and we went up and down the aisles to no avail and eventually got to the out road, so had to go all the way round the block again.Anyway the second time lucky because we parked right outside the entrance..couldn't be nearer.Very busy, it seems that everyone was getting ready for a day in tomorrow. Well that's what we did so we can't complain. Whizzed round there, and were very restrained in our buyi g really, it is an expensive shop, and it is easy to get carried away. Stowed the stuyff in the back of the car, and went from there to the garden centre at Ince for our coffees for the April month. Very quiet in there, I think they were all in Waitrose!. Last time we went there, last week, you coudn't move, and there were no tables. today, totally different. Really pleasant, and at least you could have a conversation. One of the trouble with being deaf, is that in a crowded situation, you just cant hear, so it is really difficult for the person you are with. VT has the patience of a saint, and he must get very exasperated sometimes..I know I would!
We had a look around the outside garden centre after that. He is on the lookout for some plants to go into two little blue pots that we have on either side of the garden steps. Spotted two lovely little lavender bushes, so got those.He had a £5 voucher too so they were a bargain.He is out planting those as I type. I had a good look round the gift shop and got some note cards to put in with Ann's birthday things in May. Really good gift centre, full of desirable things. We were talking about garden centres, and how they have been transformed in recent years. This one started out as a smallish family set up, which like Topsy just growed. The owners built a newly designed house next door, and got a decent restaurant going. Then sold it to a big firm..Klondyke..and I note their house next door is also for sale. Should have a good gaarden anyway! Bet they are worth a few bob now.
So a very pleasant morning today..only trouble is I keep thinking that it is Friday now.
Tonight we are having:
Garlic cheesey kiev,
The remaining jersey royals
Steamed carrot, butternut squash and asparagus,
Cranberry sauce.
