Friday

Due to early morning rain the builder didn't show up today so it looks like we will have to wait a little longer to see the patio finished!

Another cracking headache this morning but once I am out of bed it goes away so I think I might need to check my pillows and maybe change them?

I did some cleaning and then Jon and I went into Newmarket to have a coffee. Jon has decided that the coffee at Costa Newmarket is better than the Costa at Tesco and after this morning I have to agree but it is not as easy to get to!

We had parked at Waitrose and after a bit of shopping in the town we went over to finish off our shopping at Waitrose. I wanted fish for dinner but I really don't like the fish at Waitrose, it always looks a funny colour so I didn't buy any. I did buy a lovely bouquet of flowers for Rene who was 91 today.

I got home and took the flowers over to Rene. She had some lovely presents but mostly alcohol! Two bottles of port and a bottle of brandy. I am not sure how long they will last - a long time I should think! She liked the flowers but I had to come home to get a vase as she only has little ones. After a little chat I went back home and Jane had arrived with Riley.

Jon had just made lunch and Jane fed Riley who, after his baby massage class, was very chilled and happy.

Jane and I went shopping to Bury St Edmunds to buy bigger sleep suits for Riley which proved more difficult than we thought mainly due to the shops having Christmas stock in or the suits only having openings down one leg - what's that all about?

I did find a few nice things in Next and after a good look around we headed to Tesco to buy some fish and Jane wanted a little something nice for her dinner as Jason is away in Portugal on a stag do and she wanted a treat.

Riley was by now due for a feed and so we mixed his bottle and drove to Tesco while I shook the bottle to cool it and Riley screamed - so impatient! By the time we parked the car he was very upset and hungry and although his bottle was warmer than usual he did drink it but he took a long time.

We then went into Tesco and Jane managed to find some sleep suits that she liked but they didn't have mittens on the hands!

We finally got home to Newmarket just after 6.00. I had told Jon I didn't have my keys and he said he would be in! When I got back he was out as was Heather so I assumed they had taken Totty out! Not impressed. I didn't have to wait long - Totty doesn't walk far - and they arrived back.

I got in and started cooking the dinner which was very nice.

We watched some TV and I booked for us to go and see Evita on 29 October in London. We wanted to go up to London to see the poppies so I  thought we should see a show at the same time. We are also booked to see Andre Rieu's 10th Anniversary film on 2 November at Bury St Edmunds so we have a busy week next week.
