Another weekend Gone By...

Main news at the weekend full of the large cruise liner The Costa Concordia which ran aground off the coast of Tuscany on Friday night. 4000 people on board the majority of whom got off safely, just six dead and some injuries. The captain seems to be blamed for going off course and also for leaving the sinking ship before the passengers. Quite a lot about that on the news and in the weekend papers.
Saturday and Sunday relatively normal for us with Vin making his usual trips out, and crosswords etc., passing a pleasant afternoon yesterday.
Today Monday the 16th is the anniversary of our ex neighbour's death in Chichester where they had been for Christmas. it hardly seems a year since that, and what a year that poor woman had. not only losing her husband at such a young age, but also losing her home, moving into a flat and then having to let her cat go too. Thinking of her today, it must be a difficult day for her.
We nipped out to Waitrose today to get our weekly veggies etc., and vin bumped into a colleague from where he used to work. They come a long way to this Waitrose because they like the store and the quality of the goods. i suppose we are really lucky to have all the major stores within easy travelling distance. They travel a total of 40 miles to this one.
I must admit they do have a good selection of veggies which is quite important to us since we don't buy meat or fish like most other shoppers. Didn't get a huge number of extras so the bill today wasn't bad. We had to then go to tesco because we needed some chicken for the cats!! spoilt little pussies they are! but they're worth it.

Bobby is looking very smart at the moment because she has a brand new collar. She has been without a collar for the last few weeks becaus it had made her neck really sore for some reason. it's ok now though so she has a nice new reflective collar to show off in.
Saturday night we had:
Chinese..spring rolls and dippers, fried rice and stir fryu vegetables.
Sunday we had:
A beautiful pizza Vin created.
Portobello mushrooms on a pesto base with crumbled blue cheese on them
Egg and potato salad with avocado, potato salad for me and a pasta salad for Vin.

Tonight we are having:
Cheese and leek escalope
mushrooms in a white sauce
mixed vegetables and baby baked potatoes.
