Thursday

 Morning, everyone.  Wasn't it hot yesterday?  Phew.  Beeb says that today will be more moderate and we will still have some sun, albeit more hazy, which is a nice surprise as I was expecting cloud.  It's just starting to get light as I type this and, right now, it is seasonally misty but that will burn off.

Yesterday was a good day.
I arrived in town just after nine and went straight to Specsavers (they're going to get tired of me) where I explained my issue, handed over the glasses, sat on one of the chairs provided outside and, two minutes later, there they were, all repaired and ready to wear again.  Good old Specsavers!

Then I had a wander around as it really wasn't all that busy.  
First was Boots as I had a few things on my reminder list to got including some perfume that Beth wanted but they didn't have it at the other Boots we went to on Monday.  I'm not a frequent Boots shopper and looking around the 'face' areas is a new one to me anyway, so I had to ask a few times but, happily, came away with everything on my list.

 Then I proceeded into Primark where I had a good old nosey around the ladies wear area.  To be honest, there wasn't very much there.  I mean, there was loads, of course, but not for me.  I got a few bits and bobs like some more trainer socks, one T shirt in a colour I needed and a pale blue and quite warm and soft hoodie that will be absolutely perfect for the chillier days or when I'd rather layer up than turn up the heating.

By that time, my ankle was playing up so I finished off in M&S where I just bought a couple of their 0% fat fruit yogurts to tide me over as I was right out.  Then it was time to head for home and breakfast!

It was a lovely drying day and I managed to get three loads washed, dried and even ironed - how's that for being good!

Lindsey had put personal training back to three thirty, later than usual, and I thoroughly enjoyed it all.  She's working me hard but, somehow, it is just a very satisfying thing to do.

Today there's two - no, three - things on the plan.
First of all, I'm doing my usual early morning shop, at M&S Food Hall and Aldi this week.  I don't have a lot to get for the week ahead for me but Dave and Anna are coming round to dinner tomorrow evening, and I do enjoy seeing what new 'stuff' Aldi has got in the centre aisles.

Then, once home again and having put everything away, Chris is coming over for a coffee and chat in the garden.  We missed last week as I have the hearing aid crisis to sort out, so there's plenty to catch up on.

And lastly, Jeff's coming round to work his magic on the weeds, etc, in my garden.
At some point, I have to go to the allotment to water and harvest as well.
So that's my day.  How about you - what do you have planned?  xx

    1. I hope you've had a very satisfying haircut. I always feel better afterwards.

  2. I haven't done anything I planned to do yet ... I've spent the morning working on my new piano pieces instead! It's poring down here and there is a warning for thunder this afternoon at least the garden is being watered for me.

    Hope you have a lovely catch up with Chris and with Dave and Anna tomorrow xx

  3. No plans for today. Heavy thunderstorms overnight (the dog was not amused) and it is still raining. Probably will just sort through items to give away. Enjoy your time with Dave and Anna.

    1. I think we might have had a bit of rain last night but it could just have been a heavy mist, it's hard to tell. I watered at the allotment anyway.
