The
day didn’t start of very nicely weather wise so what better way to begin a
long bank holiday weekend than a sleep
in and a snuggle with The Man.Very nice thank you.
With
the routine housework out of the way it was high time that I put away the winter
clothes, well most of them. Good opportunity to have sort out too and put together an op shop bag.
After
a nice lunch of spuds in their jackets we took the op shop bag to the closes charity shop, and horrors they are closing down. It is sad to see that high rents
are driving them out.
Not only that but
the interior of very favourite store
where I bought my pretty painted giraffe was empty. Perhaps a refit we thought
as a there were a couple of chaps working inside. But no they told us that the
owner was moving to bigger premises. Good for him, but not us.
Oh
well such is progress I suppose. Good
thing there is another charity shop around the block for us to leave our bag of
goodies. That done and feeling pleased with ourselves we topped up the grocery shopping, mushies for tomorrows cooked
brekky and some fresh fruit. I store they were handing out red white and blue
themed cakes, nomnomnom.
On
to the library next. It was under threat of closure, but public opinion
prevailed on the powers that be and there has been a stay of execution. It
would be such a terrible shame to see it go.
I’ve
been trying to get my head around Photoshop elements for ages without much luck
on my own so today I gave in and found a basic book in the library. We also
bought a music CD of Norah Jones, which is playing as I write. I bought a movie
as well. Haven’t had a great deal of luck with them lately, the titles I have
chosen looked OK but some of the movies were pretty nasty. I thought The Last King
of Scotland might have been OK. It was
not. It was about the dictator Idi Amin. Not a nice chap by any ones standards.
I
think I have mentioned before that there is a jig saw in the lounge in our building
that The Man has been slowly working away at. It’s about three-quarters done now
so he bough a jigsaw from the library so that he will have something to progress
on to
