Quiet week....Not..

in the end it is proving to be a busy week all round. Today we decided to go out for some fresh air since we were in all day yesterday. So we went over to Dobbies to use up our vouchers. Found them in a state of re-arrangement, all the summer stuff is put away, and the shelves etc are getting ready for Christmas things. I don't think they bother with Halloween things there, probably isn't worth it. Vin spotted an Orchid stick to support the still flowering absolutely beautiful Orchid that is in our kitchen on the table.

There are so many flowers on the stem that it is bending over, and they are really beautiful, so this is a tall spike made for Orchids especially,and you fasten the stem onto it. very clever.of course it is a beautiful purple to go with the pot and the flowers.
We had our free coffees, Vin had a "Flat White" and I had a plain black one. Had a bit more of a look round after,I bought some more after dinner mints, some reduced smoked cheese, a pot of damson cheese and a box of shortbread biscuits. He didn't buy any bulbs in the end he said it was still a bit early for them.
Home for lunch and Vin did a bit of his sorting out. he has a man coming a bit later on to take some rubbish away, the old fence panels and posts etc., so he has been getting that organised this afternoon.
As regards my Saturday appointment that I wrote about yesterday, it seems that it is fairly normal in certain areas of london, but not oop here in t'north! the other thing was that I only got the letter on Tuesdaay and it is for this Saturday..bit short notice that is..
Tonight we are having:
A version of macaroni Cheese with my gluten free pasta, a tub of four cheese sauce
Some sauteed mushrooms
mixed green veggies.
