Toy Story 3

Jon and I both had appointments for this morning at the hairdresser. I was back first so took Totty out on my own.

We then went to Central Shopping area for coffee and they do lovely walnut muffins there so we shared one of those - yummy.

Jon has been using towels that we brought over with us and they were originally bought on a visit to Liverpool when I took the girls a very long time ago and they were looking in need of replacing so we went to Briscoe's as they always have a sale on! We bought some very nice Egyptian cotton towels in navy blue and then we bought a new frying pan as I have been using the wok and the surface is a bit small when I am cooking fish fillets. We also bought a nice cushion for Jon's back.

We then drove across to Bayfair to the butcher. They had a demonstration on and were cooking steak and onion sausages and bacon. We tried both and bought some of both. I haven't found a sausage here that I like. they are packed too tightly in the skins which are really tough and the meat is too minced up. These tasted nice but we will see what they are like when I cook them. I also bought a piece of lamb for tomorrow.

We got home for lunch and I made omelette and salad.

I read my book and Jon went to the gym we took Totty out for a walk when he got back and then had a cup of tea before going out to the cinema.

Toy Story 3 was really good. It was in 3D but as I don't see 3D the glasses made my eyes a bit funny so I just had to watch without them. The 3D bits are a bit fuzzy but it was OK. I loved the film but it made me cry.

We then went out to an Italian restaurant for dinner and had antipasto to share and it was so good - olives, artichokes, sun dried tomatoes and two types of Italian sausage and warm bread, then I had fish and Jon had veal casserole. I have had better fish but it was OK. The pudding was lovely, a cup of thick hot chocolate and churros (long doughnut type things with sugar and cinnamon on, you dip them in the chocolate, they are Spanish and I haven't had them since I lived in Spain, millions of calories!!!)
