Dobbies!

Yesterday we took ourselves off to Dobbies. We needed to get something for our John for his birthday and also it was a good opportunity to get out of the house and have our free coffees for  the month.
When we got there it was really quiet with loads of parking spaces and not many people inside. We had a quick look at the sale items but did not see anything that we either needed or wanted. If you were loking for Christmas items they had tons of them of all sorts and sizes. It seemed to me that they had over ordered they had so much. We have more than enough decorations so don't need any more of those. 
Not much in the food hall but we did get some more of the shortbreads that we like and a cake to keep us going. We also found a book of cartoons by Giles so got that for John. I think (hope) he was fond of  those in earlier years so hope he gets some enjoyment from them. 
When we left to go to Dobbies it was grey and drizzly but while we had our coffees a mist developed, which actually was quite thick. Still cars on the road witout lights which is a bit stupid given the visibility.
Today we have stopped in and done bits and bobs really. Just spent a happy (not) half an hour trying to get an order on Amazon with the free p&p. We had a voucher  for fifteen pounds but the trouble was it brought the total price down to just below the twenty pounds for free delivery. In the end we lost patience after trying to find something for 60p but not successful, so just went with the price given. Couldn't be bothered fiddling any more and Vin was getting impatient so that was it. 
Little Jessie deigned to come upstairs while we were fiddling with the Amazon site and was miaowing like mad. Cheeky little thing, she never comes up here when I am on my own but of course she was after her Daddy. 

Favourite spot these days!
