Afternoon all - greyish and cooler here, yesterday was glorious!!
But I do love sunshine, so all good for me
I've been off since Wednesday, so on Thursday I did my usual Durham day, a walk in and around the city and along the river banks...some students were swimming in the river!
It's not the clearest of rivers...rather them than me!! Coffee at Coffee House, and saw my friend Anne pass with her husband, we'll meet up in a week or so for a coffee and a catch up
Lidl shopping (shelves pretty bare in places, and the store itself quiet.....strange) then to Aquafit in the evening for a class
Tom went to the caravan yesterday morning to mind the kids while D came home for an overnight stay (I'd have gone with him but I'm EXTREMELY picky about bed linen, and didn't fancy sleeping in a bed where someone else has been all week nor did I want to go to the bother of changing the bed for one night, so I stayed home. So I headed off to the Arnison Centre and got some cat food at PAH, couple of bits elsewhere, and had a cheese toastie for lunch in Costa (the one inside Next was closed due to staff isolating
so this was the regular Costa store) then on to the nearby garden centre as I wasnted to price up hydrangeas.....I got one anyway (£5!!) a couple of tubs, a snapdragon and an acer.....altogether came to £14.50
This particular GC is super cheap but doesn't always have what you're looking for. Then I called in to see my sister and we arranged to go to this today
https://www.brancepethcastle.org.uk/craft-fairs.htmlShe asked if I'd mind picking our cousin up also - her husband is currently in hospital having had a heart bypass (the op went ok but his recovery is very slow....he IS 80) so she felt Dawn (cousin) could use some cheering up, John's been in hospital since May 31st! Anyway, the fair was lovely, not TOO busy, Dawn got me a latte and a scone as a thankyou for giving her a lift - she
can drive but doesn't nowadays. Dropped them both off after and I'm now home and so is Tom
Osc how lovely - enjoy!!
Oh Jen that's a shame, hope E feels better soon
Have a lovely day, if you can xxxxx
