We went off to Formby which is our nearest shopping area actually, but Vin wanted to get some petrol so went to the BP garage first. Quite a scruffy garage nowadays, it needs a spruce up. They will have to watch it because there is a new one being built on the main road in Formby and they will be losing business. Surprising how much difference the appearance of a building makes, even if you are only getting petrol.
Went from there to Waitrose. Parked right outside, and everyone was saying on the way in.."Isn't it cold for this time of the year...and..Isn't it nippy?"Really got people talking. That shop is cool at the best of times, and the aisles where the chilled foods are were like walking into a fridge. People were hugging themselves and clapping their hands against their arms. We didn't linger long there. Vin was keen to get back for his morning fix of coffee, if he doesn't get that he isn't a happy bunny at all.
it's cleared up this afternoon actually, the sun is shining and Vin is in the garden doing a sterling job of clearing up the flags. He bought the paint for our wall yesterday, he got Sandtex in the end in a clotted cream colour. He took the lid off to have a look, and it is a beautiful cream ice cream colour, should look really nice on the wall.That will smarten up the yard area quite considerably.The present colour is a sort of very patchy drab white with bits of the old pink on it, so it will be a big improvement.
he's done some lovely hanging baskets this year, this is the one outside the front door, and the two at the back are really nice. A well painted wall should help a lot.
Jane rang up mid afternoon, on her way to work. She is beginning to move some of her stuff to her new room in her new house. So glad she has got that sorted.
Tonight we are having:
Lemon and black pepper escalopes
Carrots beans and peas
little baked potatoes.
Bread sauce.
