Out of the House..

Seem to have been in for a few days, so we went out to Dobbies to get some plants for our hanging baskets. Had a good look round, but it was one of those days when we didn't spot anything worth getting really. They do boxes of assorted plants for tubs and baskets and last year they were great, all we needed. Very disappointed in this years efforts. Leggy plants or ones that looked distinctly not well.So we didn't get anything there. We will try the garden centre near home and see if they have any. VT did get a catmintplant for our two, and all the other cats in the neighbourhood for that matter! I bought a box of after dinner mints and that was it. had to wait ages for a till to get going, annoys me when there are people wandering about in purple tops and only two on the tills working their socks off.
Had a lovely coffee in their cafe part which is huge. They have a nice part, where they have lovely chairs and tables but it is waitress service. Totally empty!!!! Seems stupid to me, you should be able to go in there if you just have a coffee or tea, what a waste of space. I think the trouble is that people don't know what it is for really, it would look much better if there were customers in there. I'm getting to be a grumpy old woman!
As soon as we got back VT put the catmint outside on the table, and Bobby immediately jumped on it and started rubbing her chin on it. It must be Cannabis for cats. Drives them wild and its great to watch.
Tonight we are having:
Gruyere cheese escalope,
New potatoes sliced and sauteed
Cauliflower with a bit of cheese sauce on it,
Sliced mushrooms.
