We were going to park behind M&S which is in the middle of the centre, but it was full, and after going round a couple of times we gave up and went down to morrisons, which was full as well. got a space eventually..it's getting more and more difficult to find parking these days.
Walked through the centre to the shops dodging the puddles and the traffic and the dripping rain. I have a little umbrella which was looking like it was going to turn inside out, and Vin has a bigger one from Head, which is sturdier but going rusty. I think we need an umbrella revamp.
We nipped into Holland and barratt to get our fishless fingers..in lkuck one packet left! then over to Bon Marche, where I usually have a look around. Bought a top reduced in the sale and a pair of trousers just in case they do close. Fingers crossed that they don't, I love that shop, always get something in there. Then into Superdrug to get bits and bobs, bit annoyed because I forgot to get my nail varnish! Then, brave the weather again and trudge back to the car park. Morrisons for a nice cup of coffee. really good value, £2.75 for two good proper cups of kenco coffee and a packet of shortbread biscuits, and a pile of yellow serviettes..they do a very good serviette do Morrisons.
Got most of our weekend things, but didn't get plum tomatoes or an egg and potato salad, they didn't have them. Slipping. Came out of there, and if anything it was greyer and wetter than ever, so ran to the car and home for a nice broccoli and Stilton soup lunch.
It really was one of those days that if you didn't have to go out you wouldn't bother. the cats have the best idea..stop in and cat nap all day and just get up for feeding occasionally.
Good job the little ginger cat from next door has a good new home, it would have hated being out in this, it didn't like the rain.
Tonight we are having:
fishless fingers,
Chips! 200 grms between us,
green beans for moi and mushy peas for Vin.
tartare sauce.
