Weather Forecast...

There was a picture in the paper today of prince Charles doing the weather forecast in Scotland. he actually made quite a good job of it...not a Charlie fan, but it was a good effort. then there was an item on the radio asking people to give their own forecasts for where they ive. A couple of quite interesting ones too. If i was doing one for today, it would pretty much cover all sorts. Very cool and blowy when we left the house, drizzle in parts, and sunshine in the later afternoon. A real mixture. Apparently the drought measures have been lifted in some areas, because it was the wettest April on record, but because there have been two dry winters it is still necessary to conserve water. We went off to Sainsbury's in Walton this morning, it's a bit of a trek, about half an hour, but it is much bigger than the Crosby one and we jnow where everything is. We seemed to get a lot of stocking up items, the bill came to about £75..this included jars of coffee which were quite dear, n abd other bits that we needed. Had a nice coffee in their car park at the back of the store which is empty. there was a row of little white vans though, looked like they were having a conflab or a meeting. We wondered what that was about. Home for lunch, got everything unpacked and I was just putting some new hearing aid batteries in my bag when the doorbell went. it was the girl from the end house, asking us if we minded taking in a parcel tomorrow for her. certainly not..we're in all day so no trouble. It's her youngest little girl's birthday at the weekend, and I couldn't believe she is five !! And her older sister is starting secondary school in September. Amazing how time flies.Had a bit of a chat with her, and found out all sorts..including her cat's name. I have often asked Vin to find out what it is called and he never has. It is a beautiful Persian one..with one of those sort of grumpy looking faces, but she says it is a beautiful cat. Aaah. It is a house cat, so doesn't go out but sits in their window looking very regal.our two don't know it because it doesn't go out in the back like them. It's a real little cat community along here. Thomas next door..who does go out, and our two are a bit wary of him, then our two Bobby and Rusty, then Maisy at the end now. There is a little black and white one that comes to visit too, and occasionally a big black one that our two run away from. Bobby was very tired yesterday, she seemed to sleep in her basket all day. Vin says that is normal for a cat, but she didn't move much. I think she was under the weather, but she seems fone today.

Out and about a bit. Tonight we are having: Fishless fingers and tartare sauce Chips 200grms Mushy peas for Vin and green beans for moi A baked tomato.
