There is indeed a touch of Autumn in the iar. When we came in yesterday there were a lot of leaves in the front garden, looking very crispy and dry. There don't actually seem to be many coming down from the trees though just yet. To be honest as well the trees are not turning the golden brown yet either but they are dropping the sticky resin that goes all over the tops of the cars. Horrible, poor Vin's car was so lovely and clean after the service and valeting too.
We stayed in today because we were out yesterday. We have two appointments next week so that will do for the time being.
Vin is out in the garden trying to burn some weeds, he tried to go out there this morning but it started to rain, but it has cleared up now. Jessie did go out for a very little while this morning but came in quickly, don't know whether she has followed her daddy out there now.
He was trying to get her to chase a ball this morning but she just runs away! Think she is scared of them. !
Costa! W3e did indeed, he wanted to get some mushrooms and a carrot or two so we took ourselves off for a trip up to Tesco's for those. It was really busy when we got there so we went round the store first . Just got what we wanted, and through the self service checkout which behaved itself today. I gave him a nice fresh ten pound note to use and the machine practically snatched it out of his hand, and then threw the change out of the other end. Not exactly friendly are they. Anyway by the time we had done that the coffee shop was a lot quieter so in we went.
Vin had an Americano with the character roast, and I had a flat white with the same roast apparently although I couldn't really tell any difference to be honest. The flat white was lovely though. We shared a pack of their wafer biscuits which are lovely and light. People watched then and chatted. Surprising the numbers of people who just sit playing on their phones. All ages too the older ones just as keen as the younger ones. I wonder if they are all just sending messages about being in Costa. !
When we got home little Jessie was in exactly the same place. She hadn't moved at all, taking advantage of the fact that the house was quiet and all was peaceful.
Did I hear cream cakes? No not yet puss!
She did greet us at the bottom of the stairs when we came dowwn from getting changed. Huge miaows too really insistent.
Oh dear! normal start to the day, and I went on the computer mid-morning as usual. Vin did his normal things downstairs then a bit later came up to say he was going to have a shave. He didn't have his normal one at breakfast because the water was cold. He disappeared into the bathroom, and then... Ding Dong the doorbell went. He ran downstairs to answer the bell and it was the postman with a parcel!!! Wasn't expecting that, it was my perfume from Origins. Only ordered it the other day too, very good delivery. He came up to me looking all cross with shaving foam all over his face! Oh Dear!Bad timing!
Not been out today but might go out somewhere tomorrow, otherwise we won't get a coffee out anywhere . Might be a bit too early for Dobbies so it may be a Costa job, it is quite nice there too.
Little Jessie went outside this lunchtime then sat on the doorstep waiting to be let in. He really should train that cat properly !
Posing nicely, waiting for her cream cake !
In today,, no appointments so unless we go out somewhere for a coffee there is nothing to go out for really. Jessie went out for a little bit but then came in when her daddy let her in again!
I was sitting at the computer this morning and the phone went. I was expecting a foreign one because we have had a lot of those lately, It was our Jane however, asking if Vin had checked his premium bonds. She was very excited because she has won £25 this month. That encouraged Vin to have a look at his and found he had won £50. ! Jane has only had hers for three months and this is only the second month they were eligible for a draw. Good going that.
Guess who is feeling left out now. Me and Jessie don't have any!! Might buy some now. It would be nice to win the million!
Weather a bit dull and overcast today, Vin was thinking of taking the bed quilt to the launderette in Crosby but it isn't sunny enough to dry on the line really. It is just too large to put in our washing machine but it will fit in the drier just about if the worst comes to the worst. Just when you want some sunshine there isn't any!.
She was having a lovely little boxing match with her daddy this lunchtime. Her claws were going and his fists were going too. Lovely to watch. The pair of them, very comical.
A very normal Monday in our house, meaning just a day inside really. No appointments this week at least none til next week, Vin contacted the number we were given with the original one for five past nine next Tuesday, and managed to get it changed for ten thirty, so that is great. It means we don't have to get up at the crack of dawn.
Just done usual things today, nice morning coffee to begin with and a really lovely machine one mid-morning when we listen to the popmaster quiz from radio two.
Little Jessie has been out for a while this morning when it was quite nice, it is clouded over now, and definitely gone colder. First day of October today, Hare's and Rabbits, we always say on the first day of every month. No idea why. Just something we have always done.
She was miaowing in the kitchen when our Jane rang up at lunchtime. Her Daddy says what do you you want but she just looks up at him. Waits patiently then she gets what she wants anyway!
We did go out yesterday because of that we were in today, so hence it was a quiet day for us. Not that there is a lot going on anyway.
Only one letter in the post which was an appointment for the fracture dressings clinic on the 10th October which isn't that long off. The only problem for us is that it is for 9.05 which is a terribly early start but never mind, at least it wasn't for seven thirty like it was last week. Jane is off today too so doubt whether she will ring up either.
It is nice and Autumnal today,did go a bit cloudy mid-morning but it is lovely now. Would be beautiful weather in New England. A little early maybe but I suspect that the pumpkins are out already. They are very keen on Halloween over there, far more than we are, and it is beautiful.
Little Jessie was in her basket this morning with the radio on low. Vin says she likes the radio and enjoys Ken Bruce!
She did go out for a while this morning, and Vin was thrilled to bits because she came back in on her own! I said how old is she? He said she is a slow learner!. Aaah!
Only off to Tesco, but it was a nice Autumn day with blue skies and the sun shining and we went off to spend our free coffees.
Had a bit of a look round the store first, and bought a few things. Vin had said the other day when he did the bedding that we needed a new mattress cover as the old one was getting frayed. Lo and behold they had them in there a double one for £9 which is very goo0d value so we got one. Also got some crispy min ts and some frothy coffee a skinny cappucinno one which looks nice. Lovely golden packaging. We went through the self service tills which were quite busy, I hate those but Vin goes through them like wild fire.
Went off for our free coffees then, both coupons from the papers, we weren't alone either, while we were there there was another couple who were sorting out their papers on the table to the right of us. Quite nice in there the seating is comfortable and looks more modern.
We had a latte for Vin and I had a flat white. Very tasty as usual, we shared a pack of wafer biscuits, nice and light.
Off home by one fifteen, and enjoyed that.
Little Jessie not moved as usual and when I came down from getting changed there she was holding court on my footstool! Typical, take the place over. Queen Jessie!
A girl has to look nice for her cream cake!
