If It's friday...

It must be the weekend shopping trip. Unfortunately since i am still stuck in the house, vin is doing a sterling job on his own. Today he took himself off to ASDA in Southport for a change, armed with his list (Bless Him) and got everything that we needed. I had gone through the bones of what was required and he got all of those. he went to the range shop on the same complex and got jane some new wiper blades for her car. He'll probably post those to her. When he was in ASDA he also put some money on her student card for her. It's a really good scheme. You get two cards, one you give to your student and one you keep yourself. You can then put sums of money on it at ASDA and they can use it at their end at any ASDA store. It's been really good so far. I put £75 on it today for her so she now has a hundred on it, and can use it for her shopping trips. I wonder why Tesco don't do one, they are missing out on a huge market there. Not like them! He went to Dobbies from there and got his free coffee for the month. he said he got a takeout Latte and had that in the car listening to the radio. Aaah I'm a tad jealous there. feel like I'm in prison here! Deluged with appointments today. The village surgery rang this morning to say they had received a letter for me to go for a blood test in about a month, so ring up about two weeks before then. then got TWO letters in the post from Aintree hospitals trust. one is the revised Ultrasound examination date for the 11th of July and the other asking me to make an appointment for the nephrology clinic! i now have a folder as thick as your arm of hospital letters etc., no wonder the bills are so dear, the postage must be incredible. Watching a bit of the tennis at lunchtime. very surprised to hear the Rafa Nadal was knocked out in the second round yesterday..I like him he uis such a nice lad. Rooting for federer again though, he is lovely. never does anything wrong. Most of the players these days have unpronouncable eastern european names both the men and the women. Where have al the Australians and the Americans gone? You hardly see any of them these days. The little British girl heather something who was all over the papers yesterday because she had got through to the third round, looks like she is going out in straight sets to another eastern european player. 6-0,6-0. A bit of a whitewash there I think. poor girl. She is playing the number three seed though. The little cats are doing their usual hibernation act. they come down at lunchtime for their dose of chicken..then disappear again. Not soft are they.

I think they have a little conflab about their plan of action. They certainly have us running round after them. Tonight we are having: crispy quorn fillets mushy peas for Vin and green beans for moi Either a few chips or some baby potatoes sliced and fried.
