What a Difference a day makes!

Today has dawned bright and sunny but cool. Yesterday (Sunday) was an utterly horrible day. Drizzled and poured all day and quite breezy as well. Vin went into crosby and said the roads in places were quite flooded,especially little crosby where it can be bad. We decided to have a quick trip to waitrose this morning, and then use our free coffee vouchers at the garden centre over the road before they ran out. So, that is what we did, very quiet shop today and parked right outside, whizzed round and got all our veggies etc., then off to the garden centre. Bit of a browse round, but didn't see anything that I fancied so for once didn't buy a thing. They didn't make anything on us today, because we too our own biscuits and got two free coffees and that was it. Vin has been getting at me to get my "review" done at the surgery. All my repeat prescriptions lately have been having review printed on the bottom in increasingly large letters so couldn't put it off any longer really. Absolute pain! our practice leaflet was out of date, so he went over and got a new one, and made an appointment for me for 10 to eleven tomorrow! he got me in the end! While we were having our lunchwe were watching Dickinson's real deal programme ..well just after lunch with our espresso actually, and there was a chap on who had bought a bowl in a charity shop. he said he knew it was lalique!!!!! and the dealer made a bid for it. eventually getting to £300!!!! the bloke was smirking as the money was being offered, and the dealer asked him how much he paid for it. Then he said £1.50 !!!!! Don't these charity shops have any sense? he said he had only bought it four weeks ago so it wasn't like he had had it for years. terrible that, some of these charity shops need a wake up call. i suppose they are staffed by well meaning little old ladies who don't know what they have. What a shame. Our next door neighbour, the other way from the ones who have lights up everywhere, has just gone down south to see her new grandson, born las week at 10lbs 1 oz. That's a good weight. Our jane was 9lbs though, and she was a month early. Apparently he is to be called Roman ! wonder where that came from? Tonight we are having: lemon and black pepper escalope, Little new jersey royals while they are in season..lovely Mixed vegetables from Waitrose..carrots and brocolli. bread sauce.
