Out for Chicken...

Tragedy, the cats didn't have any chicken! Since they assemble in the kitchen every day at about1-30 for their daily dose of finely chopped chicken and we forgot to get some yesterday, we thought we would go out to get some this morning.
Lovely day today, really nice and pleasant but not too hot either, so we thought we would go to the garden centre and have our July free coffee. Vin wanted to get some new hanging basket brackets so he had a look for those. On offer, 2 for £5 ot £3.99 each, so not a bad deal. Had a look at a couple of nice benches, the type made for two with a table in the middle, one straight and one angled a bit. Round about £150 each with cushions. Vin has decided that he is going to do up our patio area and smarten it up. So maybe it is a good time to get rid of our older cast iron green table and chairs which are as hard as the hobs of hell to sit on. Funny thing, the new neighbour from next door has arrived to lay a new patio in their garden. What is it with these men and Patio's now?

One hanging basket of which we have two, but...somebody has ideas of a row of them now.
Had a lovely cup of coffee in their cafe, which is full of grandparents who have had kids dumped on them by the looks of things. Got me thinking, about the money that grandparents have to stump up on these minding jobs. Sure they don't mind though.
Home to find another appointment letter from Aintree, for an Ultrasound. One of those where you have to drink pints of water before you go, and it is to check the kidney's are performing properly. Better make sure Vin knows the smoothest route there!!!
Tonight we are having:
pasta verde with a little parmesan and
A small amount of garlic bread.

smoothest and quickest route!!! lol A bit of sun and everyone seems to be out doing DIY. I read yesterday this DIY Law 1. Every job is twice as complicated as you think it will be DIY Law 2. Every jobe takes twice as long as you think it will. My dad is the on for putting down patios - loves it!!
I was walking to our local shops this afternoon and was admiring all the hanging baskets outside peoples front doors. Maybe in my new house I'll get a few too.
take care, Judyx
