Beige As Far As The Eye Can See!!

Went out to Dobbies this morning, for a bit of fresh air, and a look round, but mainly because Vin had spotted a voucher for free coffee for there in our free newspapers. So you can't beat that, free paper and free coffee. he is never one to turn down a free coffee so off we went.
When we arrived so had a coach of ladies, don't think there were any men..why aren't there any men? and they were all lined up in a sort of group outside the entrance having a photo taken. It was a sea of beige jackets and anoraks, and grey perms. Somebody must be making a fortune out of beige coats and grey perms, mind you they all looked very chatty and friendly. I wonder what the little men from Mars would make of it all!
Trouble was they filled up the coffee area, so Vin wasn't best pleased, anyway we wandered round a bit and the queue went down. Very sunny in Dobbies, I found a table that was quite shaded, but there was one at the side of us that was in full sunshine, and three people came and sat down then moved. really funny watching people in cafe areas.
I bought a hat!! I very very rarely buy hats , don't think I have a hat face..but this was a large brimmed straw type with a row of beads round the brim part. Vin said it looked stylish!!!! so I got it, only £8.99 and it fits beautifully. Could even wear it to go out in when the weather is sunny. I do have trouble with the sunshine, and bright lights so might help.
We have been wondering how our little ginger friend has been getting on, I hope he is settling in, and maybe has found a warm spot to sit in the sunshine.


I so deserves a nice home...
Vin has just been talking to one of our neighbours the other side who have been on a cruise up the Norwegian Fjords. He said it was very nice. but they wouldn't go again, he said it was very cold there. The ship they were on was the one where they dropped a woman earlier in the year, while tranferring her to hospital. She was dropped in the sea water, and later sadly died in hospital. Anyhow, they are fine, and no doubt had a good time.
Tonight we are having:
Fillet in a sauce with mushrooms
1/2 a packet of rice
Carrots and beans.
