I have been thinking it was Monday all day today,can never get used to having a Monday off. We went into Crosby this morning to get a few veggies, and VT went to the bank to pay some money in for Janes car tax..her birthday present! That was what she wanted.
I went round to Sainsburys which wasn't too busy, and got our veggies and a few things off the list.VT caught me up and remindd me of what I had forgotten, he is much better at a list than I am! Home in time for coffee and a bit of a sort out before lunch.
I had an odd letter from a clinic appointment that had been made for the 9th of September. It said that the appointment had been cancelled and referred me to my GPs surgery. Rang them up and they didn't know anything about it, so rang the number given on the appointment letter. This was a call line, but the girl was very helpful, and said that it had been cancelled because the clinic didn't feel they were right for the problem.!!! So I need to go back to the GPs. What a performance..All David Camerons fault now of course.
Nice sunny day today actually,very pleasant outside. VT is in the garden sorting things out there.
Tonight we are having:
Lemon and black pepper escalope
Little baked potatoes
Mixed vegetables with mushroom
Bread sauce.

Bank Holiday Monday...
Not typical bank holiday weather though! It is actually sunny for a change,but fairly cold too.
Have been listening all day to the radio two million selling records for the UK. really good programme actually, and a good mixture of tracks. Some surprises along the way too. Not got to the top ten yet at the time of typing.
VT went out to tidy his car up this morning, he is getting it ready for the MOT on Thursday. He has done the mats, and vacuumed it inside, and he say I am not to get it dirty now...CHEEK! It's him that fills it full of rubbish.
I spent the time while he was doing that getting the bedding and clothing ironed. We have beautiful Egyptian cotton bedlinen, but it gets so creased!!!and therefore needs a lot of ironing. Gorgeous on the ed though.
Nice pizza lunch, the rest of the one VT madelast night,beautiful one too.Nice egg salad to go with as well.
VT is in the garden this afternoon, but has just come in to show me his sunglasses. We each have a pair that go over our ordinary glasses, and they are really good. However, his have just snapped on one of the arms, a real shame and will annoy him I'm sure since they are not that old, and haven't been worn that much. Maybe he can contact the firm? It's really annoying when something like that happens.
Tonight we are having:
Broccoli and cheese escalope
Mixed vegetables with a spot of hollandaise sauce
Potato croquettes

Bank Holiday Weekend...
Today (Sunday) dawned very blustery and blowy,dull and dark and not the sunny bank holiday weather that was forecast. They seem to come round with a mononotonous regularity these Bank Holidays. The thing is, in teaching, you never really appreciated them because they always fell in half terms or holidays. Most of the children will be going back next week probably by Thursday or Friday, then we can start going out again a bit more.
VT went out yesterday armed with his list to get the rest of the shopping that we missed on Friday, and came back with exactly that. Good Boy! He also went out today to get some cat food too from the Home & Bargain too. Our cats seem to like a variety, they turn up their noses at too much Whiskas..cheeky monkeys! and some of the cheaper tins they really dig into.
VT bought me two paperbacks from a charity shop too yesterday..they look like new and are two more in a series of really silly books that I do enjoy at night time..The Agatha Raisin series. Totally silly. but very readable. He got himself a World War book too and all those came to £2.30 noat bad going.
Made our usual pizza dough this morning,apart from that didn't do much. The crosswords were quite easy today, and VT just had to use the computer to doa couple of answers.
Tonight we are having:
Pizza with tomato sauce,
Mushrooms sausage and pepper.
Egg and potato salad, avocado and baby plum tomatoes
Potatoe salad and spinach and pesto salad.

Janes Birthday...
27 years ago, Jane was delivered into the world,
a nine pound, four week early bundle of fun.. What a smashing baby she was too. and a gorgeous little girl. Never been a girly girl, but always been a barrel of laughs.
She has just rung yup actually, and was on the phone for an hour talking. She could talk for England that one. No wonder she has always done well at interviews.
We went over to Ormskirk this morning and had a bit of a look round there. Went to a different place for coffee, and VT had a latte and I had a black, but it was a bit strong. I think it will be back to Taylors next time.
Got some things at M&S then went down to Morrisons. Didn't do all the shopping because I had begun to have a bit of a hypo, so VT went off and finished and then we went back to the car. Chewed wsome glucose tablets that VT carries and then was better. Must have walked round too much today!
Tonight we are having:
Cornish cheese and onion pasty
Ruce pudding.

Banking...
Had to go out today to pay some money into the bank for Janes birthday. We asked her what she wanted and she said money badly, so I have paid a goodly sum into her account for her. Went to the NatWest bank in Crosby, and had to wait ages to be served. There were only two cashiers working, and one of those was busy for ages, then the other walked away. So, there were five people waiting when she came back. Not like it is on their adverts!
Went into Sainsburys for a couple of items, and came out only having spent four pounds! not like me at all..didn't even get a basket!
On the way home we decided to go and use our free coffee vouchers from the garden centre in Ince. Wonder of wonders, there were plenty of spaces, and it was quite quiet. Last time we went it was so busy and noisy, we couldn't hear ourselves think, today it was really pleasant. Had a bit of a look round but didn't see anything I fancies today.
Weather has brightened up here a bit today, just heard on the news that there has been no play at the Oval cricket ground due to bad light..funny old country.
Tonight we are having:
Sauteed potatoes,
Mixed green vegetable medley,
Quorn fillet in a sauce with mushroom

Cards...
One thing about having birthdays and anniversaries at the same time is that we get a good amount of cards. got two nice ones from Jane this morning..one for her Daddy with Mickey Mouse on the front, and the other for our anniversary withMickey and Minnie mouse in dark relief holding hands. Quite cute.
She rang up at dinnertime for a good talk.A lot of money things cropping up for her at the moment. Car tax, insurance, and the rest of her college fees to be paid.
Sent some Sourdough flakes off to an internet friend on the site. Hope they work, should do because I have been getting mine going,haven't made a loaf in a while though, must get going again.
Trod on poor Rusty's tail this morning. Felt absolutely dreadful. I didn't see her under my feet, and must have caught her tail, the first I knew was a dreadful cat screech, and she flies out of the house down to the bottom of the garden. VT went and got her, and brought her back, and she sat on my knee in the garden while I profusely said I was sorry. There is some news in the papers at the moment about a woman who was caught on CCTV strokjing a cat (Lola) and then picking it up and dumping it into a wheelie bin and shutting the lid. It was there for 16hrs tiull the owner heard a faint miaow and rescued her. What a B***h, I can't imagine anyone doing that. It is a beautiful cat too..a klovely little tabby. And it had jumped up to greet her too. Awful. I hope all her work colleagues ostrasise her..she works as a cashier for an RBS bank in Rugby. Horrible woman.
Otherwise we haven't done much today, got up atish again, we need to get ourselves moving again, and go somewhere tomorrow.
Tonight we are having:
A quorn escalope,
Sauteed potatoes,
Green beans and chanterey carrots
the rest of the lovely apricoty and almond slice from yesterday.

Happy Birthday to Him...Happy Birthday to Him...
VT's big day today..he is the big 60! My Toy Boy he is. Quite a low key day today though, it isn't the same when you don't have a family to celebrate with. He wouldn't go out anywhere, and he didn't want to go for a meal anywhere, so we have bought some nice food from Waitrose and we will have that tonight.
I got him a card and gave him a cheque which he said he didn't want thankyou, and got him a card from the cats!
Jane rang up early for her, first to wish her Dad a happy birthday, then to moan about her boiler which wasn't working. Rang about six times this morning again to moan about her motor insurance which had just come in the post, and has gone up alarmingly. Then she started talking about her driving licence form which had come here, but her Dad had posted to her about a month ago and hasn't arrived. So he was telling her to get one from the Post Office. He said she is hopeless, I said it's all a learning curve...how to exist in your life.
He went out to Waitrose, because he said he fancied a pizza for his lunch today. Brought back a very nice actually Spinach and Ricotta thin crust pizza and a salad. He had a glass of wine and enjoyed that.
No sign of the Ginger Girl from next door, I hope she hasn't gone missing..I like that little cat.
Weather is awful today Very blustery and bliowy, and torrential showers of rain this morning, but cleared up now, and the sun is shining as I type this.
Tonight we are having:
Spinach and Mushroom Lasagne,
Garlic bread
Baby carrots and Asparagus.
