Saturday

I woke early and due to the power cut just as I went to bed I did not know the time - it was 7.30 but I was already up!!!


Jane rang at 9.00 and so we all chatted for a long time and so did not get out with
Totty till after 10.00. We went to Rotary Park and it was very quiet down there. I saw Kim, my neighbour, as we got back and she kindly did my washing for me as I don't know when I will get my machine back and the owner has not got back to us yet to say what she is going to do.


When we got back Heather was waiting for Katharine to let her know she was home so she could call her - she never did. Something that Heather is going to have to come to terms with - people forget you and have their lives to live, harsh but true.


Jon and I went out for a coffee and when we got back I took Heather down to the Red Cross shop and we bought six skirts and one pair of cropped trousers all for about £15 so she was very happy.


We bough a pie for Jon and Heather on the way home and then after lunch Heather and I went over to Bayfair to look for a bottle fridge as I am sick of all the space in the fridge being taken over by bottles of beer, wine, juice and jars of things and no room for food. Unfortunately, we couldn't find one.


We did a bit of shopping on the way and got back in time for a cup of tea.


Heather ans I took Totty out and there was a bit of thunder about as we got back.


Jon got the BBQ ready while Heather soaked her nails in nail varnish remover to try and remove the acrylic nails. It didn't work very well and I think we are going to have to go to a salon tomorrow and have them done professionally.


Dinner was good and the thunder didn't amount to much but we did have a short, heavy shower just as we were finishing and had to rush indoors to have pudding.


The TV is still not very good as so much coverage of the quake and whilst I think it is very sad it is so annoying when you are in the middle of a programme and they just stop it for a live coverage of something and then they don't finish the programme so you are left guessing!!!


WEATHER
