Vin's slippers are on their uppers. They have got to the stage where they have totally come apart, and are dangerous, so he has been looking for a replacement pair for a while. We decidid that we woud go to the Ocean Plaza in Southport this morning because we weren't doing anything else. There is a brabantia shop there and a Matalan, a Pet Store and a Dunelm Mill. So that's where we went. Surprise Surprise the tide was in at Southport..which is something you don't see very often, and it was quite high too. No wonder Southport people are called Sandgrinders!
Free parking for two hours which is good. He went into the Brantia store and looked for slippers. lots of old men types, but he normally wears the backless sorts, he's had some great German ones which are the ones that have given up the ghost. Spotted some on the end of an aisle on sale £3 a pair! not bad.. looked good so he got two pairs which will tide him over till he gets some leather ones that he likes.
Then went along to the Pet Store and bought Rusty a lovely new red collar, to go with her red tag, and Bobby a blue collar to go with her blue tag. very pretty they will look.Felix cat food at two for £6 so got those and put them in the car. Walked along to Dunelm Mill shop. we were looking for tablemats to go with our new red tablecloth, but didn't see any. they were all the wrong colour and too big. Our table is only small. Went and had a lovely cup of coffee in their refurbished coffee shop, sitting on comfy leather sofas..very nice. Then had a wander round and Vin spotted salt and pepper balls, our salt one has broken and we have been looking for a replacement for an age, so that was really good. then he spotted some red tablemats in a range of homeware called poppy, that weren't with the other tablemats. So bought four of those. Excellent. Job done.
One of those days when everything went right..and we got everything that we were looking for.
Tonight we are having:
Moussaka with vegemince and a cheese sauce on top.
