Well...it was supposed to be the storm of the century so far. We were told by the weather forecasters that there would be 80mph gales etc., but mainly in the South. there have been trees blown down and the papers are full of pictures of cars squashed by trees etc.,four people killed by various means and terrible delays on the trains down south, and planes cancelled, so a lot of disruption in the lower regions of the country.
Up here in The North, it is a funny day. very changeable bright sunshine one day and pouring down the next. In fact it is absolutely pouring as I type this. Quite gusty but not enough to blow things down or over.
We weren't planning to go anywhere today, because I had arranged for a courier to collect a parcel for the kaleidoscope company. it was a coat i had ordered with a fur hood in a nice blue colour for a change! but I had ordered a size too big. So wanted to return it and get a size smaller. Unfortunately they don't have any in stock but may be getting some in so will wait and see.
Vin went off to Formby to get his new glasses from Specsavers which he got for half price. very nice they are too..really smart. There is a horrible Specsavers advert at the moment for glasses for the older man and the "model" has one of those absolutely horrible spiky half beards..Uggh! Vin looks much better in his glasses.
Of course he was back for his coffee. Lovely Americano for moi today.
Tonight we are having:
pizza with mushrooms and peppers for Vin
green salad with avocado and baby plum tomatoes
potato salad for moi and sweet chilli noodle salad for Vin.
