Veg out...

Woke up this morning to the sound of a skip being delivered next door. our neighbour's son is here with a white van to take some of his things back to London, and help his Mum clear out her house. My heart breaks for her really, she is being so strong about it all it seems. In a year, she has had her whole life changed, husband gone, had to move house and also had to clear out the accumulation of years of marrital collecting. The only thing is like I was saying to vin, is that she is young enough to have the energy to do it all. Still a terrible shame though.

We went out to Ormskirk to get our veggies for the rest of the week. It is a nice run, and a market town which is pleasant to go to.I needed a new pair of slippers and it is impossible to find slippers in the spring and summer. My old ones are positively lethal, so hope these are better. When we went to the Cheswhire Oaks Outlet Village a few weeks ago i went into the Clarks shop to find some, only to be told they are "Seasonal". I can't go round in bare feet much as I would like to because you have to be careful of what you tread on with "Diabetic feet". Sad Woman!!!
Very pleasant there today, just a bit of a breeze, but it started raining on the way home, quite heavily too. Vin has just been down to pay our huge gas bill£16 !! and he was saying to the man in the Post Office how nice it was..he said that he had been in all day, and he went out at lunchtime to water the boxes at the front and it poured on him..Oh dear!
Vin was just telling me that all sorts are looking in their skip. Some lads had just walked past and one put a golf ball in his pocket, and this morning another man took a shovel out. then he said there was a couple walking from the train station, and they deliberately walked past it to have a look in. Hilarious, would make a good comedy piece. I do remember an episode where Victor Meldrew had a skip outside his house and they came back to find a Citroen Dyane perched on top of it, and the skip was full.

Tonight we are having:
Mozarella and pesto escalope,
Mushroom sauce
Potato croquettes and
carrots and beans
