Free Coffees???

Not quite so free after all! We went off to Dobbies thiis morning to get some hanging baskets for the back yard, and Vin wanted to have a look at some new solar lights. we had vouchers from the little post magazine thing they send you for extra points if you buy something from the cafe.. points if you spend over £30 and £5 off if you spend over £25..so we took all of those too. What cheapskates!! had a good look round, inside and out. Some quite nice hanging baskets both indoors and out, but Vin said the outside ones were a bit dry. I had a bit of a mooch then we met up and went for our coffees. For some reason today it was heaving..normally quite quiet there, but there was a bit of an event on I think.
Vin went and got the hanging baskets, while I had a look round the food area. got some more shortbreads, some mint crisps and a jar of damson fruits for cheese. Vin caught up with me and he had got some solar lights and the hanging baskets so we had a bit of a trolley full by the time we had finished and they made quite a bit from us today and our free coffees!!!
Lovely and sunny today, but very breezy. Pictures on the news today and in the papers of the terrible tornado in Oklahoma. Absolute devastation with whole areas of land just flattened. Awful.  Must be heatbreaking. The governor of the state was on the television saying "we will build up again and come back stronger" !! can't believe that she said that. how can you come back stronger when so many people have been killed including a whole class of children?
Tonight we are having:
Something from the fridge,
potatoes maybe boiledsince they are jersey royals,
mixed vegetables
bread sauce
