Wednesday

I was up and baking biscuits at 8.00 this morning as my friend Bronwyn was coming over for coffee and I also wanted to get some baking done to take to the book room. I chose two easy recipes, peanut butter and chocolate chip and brownie biscuits which are lovely and gooey.

I was having a Facebook chat with Heather while I was baking. The parcel I sent still hasn't arrived and I rang the post office as they usually only take 4-5 days. They think it may be held up at customs so she will need to call the customs office to find out. Typical when she wants it before she leaves for Japan!

Bronwyn came just after ten and we sat and talked for two hours which was nice and she was very good and only had one biscuit - she started with just a half but couldn't resist!! No willpower, just like me!!

When she left I had a quick lunch and then went to the book rooms. All the magazines have been moved into the empty shop next-door to where we have the books as they were running out of space. It is a bit of a dusty room but at least there is more space to spread out and I can sort the magazines out properly.

The afternoon passed quickly and we stopped for a cuppa and a chat before getting back to it. I was working with one of our new Lions, Jane, and she is from London and we get along very well.

They all went home at 4.00 and I popped in to one of my favourite shops to see if they had any jeans and they did, two nice fitting pairs and both in the sale along with a lovely grey jacket!!!

I then went to buy some bread and some lollies for trick or treat tomorrow night before going home to feed Totty but my feet were too sore to take her for a walk. I think it must be the concrete floor in the book rooms that does it.

I put some Chinese spare ribs in the oven to bake for dinner and made some kumara chips.

Jon's Pilates teacher rang to say she can't do his class tomorrow so I made his sandwich ready to take in the morning. This also means he will need dinner so I will have a bit of juggling to do so that I only eat what I should!!

I had a message from Heather to say a card for the parcel had arrived and she has to pay more than nice pounds to collect it so I think I might have forgotten to tick the 'gift' box and they think it is new clothes bought online oops!! Hopefully, she can tell them and they will take the charge off - Is that a flying pig I see???

WEATHER
Sunny and a cool morning but warmer later 23 degrees
