Shopping

Another lovely day this morning when we woke.

I really should have breakfast before I log on to the computer in the mornings. I think I will quickly answer an email and before I know it an hour has gone by!! So it was a late breakfast again today.

I called my friend Margaret to see how she was and was going to take her out for a coffee but she had to wait in for the repair man to come for the AC unit so we just chatted for a while on the phone. She is OK now, well, as OK as she can be.

The man came to cut the grass this morning and he told me he will now come every week as it is getting long. Not sure how as it is dry and not growing much but that is between him and the agent as I told him - nothing to do with me. He said he would use the mower next time instead of the strimmer but he said it is difficult to get it down the steps. Not much I can do about that either as I didn't design the house. He really rubs me up the wrong way just in case you hadn't noticed!!

I decided to go down to the Mount and have a coffee and then look for a top for a skirt I bought about three months ago and haven't been able to find anything to match. I was determined to get something today and not come home till I did!

After my coffee I went into every shop at the Mount and didn't find anything. I also need a new swimming costume and didn't find that either.

I then went to Nosh food shop and did some shopping before going to Bayfair shopping centre. I found a perfect top but it was just too small and all the other branches of the same shop didn't have a bigger one. I did finally find a cream top that sort of goes and it was half price so I bought that. I then saw another one in the colour I really wanted. It is very modern for me but I think it looks OK so I bought that, too. Mission accomplished I went home.

It was 2.30 when I got in and I was very hungry so made a salad and watched the tennis which was very good.

I then did the rest of my ironing and actually finished it all!! Still lots of tennis on so I had better get some washing done. I wonder why women feel guilty sitting and watching TV during the day! Jon never does. If he wants to watch something he does, it must be in our DNA.

Jon had his blood test today and so is all ready to start on his next chemo as from Saturday.

He came home today with the itinerary for out trip to UK. The travel agent has had to change it a little as the flights don't go on the days we want and it cut our time down to just 13 days in UK. Jon needs to speak to him again tomorrow to sort it. He must get fed up with us chopping and changing but I suppose he is used to it and it is his job.

We had dinner and watched TV and then I spent a while checking out Chain Mai which is where we are going in Thailand. I want to go to one of the elephant sanctuaries so that I can help bath them I am also told it is very beautiful up there, too.

Haircut tomorrow and not before time!!
