Just like summer!

We are having weather now like we should have had in the summer. Really warm today and very hot and sticky this afternoon but i am not complaining!!!

A parcel arrived this morning from Kirsty. It had cost her £22 to post to me for Mother's Day!!! It was really lovely and had bubble bath, hand cream, body lotion and shower gel all very heavy AND a lovely top from M&S and that would have been enough. I am sure she must have nearly fallen oven in the PO when they told her how much. I haven't spoken to her yet to find out her reaction.

I went to Red Cross and apart from a few boxes of bric a brac to put out it was very quiet and so we had a nice morning relaxing and chatting between the three of us. I bought a jig saw for Jon which is the Opera House in 3D and new so he is pleased with that. I also found a lovely champagne flute in pale pink for 25p and some lovely shell shaped clips to put on a tablecloth to stop it lifting up in the wind. They are really pretty and I have never seen anything like them so a nice bargain.

Now that I have to park my car down the road from the shop, one parking ticket is enough, I now go past the 'Sallies' Salvation Army Shop and I just have to go in and have a look. I found a lovely glass fruit bowl today and a lovely pair of black sandals with a cork wedge heal. The label on them said $32.99 and I paid $6 and they are really comfy.

On my way home I stopped at the supermarket to buy the cream and chocolate muffins to make the trifle for the bbq tomorrow, I hope the weather stays kind to us!!!

Once home I had lunch and then took Tot out. I spoke to our neighbour to say that Sharon would like to come and view their house tomorrow which they say is fine. Unfortunately, they told me Mr Bean, their lovely cat is missing. I asked around on my walk but nobody has seen him. Their big worry is that a dog might have had him as he is so friendly towards dogs. The other thing they are worried about is that he may have gone back to where they used to live which was near the SPCA and he used to go in to see the dog there so they are going to keep a look out for him. I hope they find him as he is a lovely cat.

My Dish magazine arrived today and it has a lot of lovely Italian recipes in so I look forward to cooking some of them. I really enjoyed the peaceful afternoon reading it.

Jon had a letter from the Inland Revenue in UK with a very large cheque for a tax rebate from 2008/09. Totally out of the blue but a very nice and welcome surprise.

We had some good fish and chips for dinner and I got bitten very badly as we had all the doors and windows open, not sure why they get me and not Jon!!
