Today was a
shopping day. Originally the plan was to
go to the store where our new sofa came from because Jan wanted to check our
sofa with the one on display. There
isn't any sort of frame or support under the cushions. Kile managed to lose a stylus down the edge
of the cushion while he was playing on Jan's iPad and that was what caused her
to look in the first place. The result
of our trip today is that G Plan the sofa makers are coming out to have a look
at it. Part I of the plan completed.
Part II was
to go to a garden centre to get some more compost for the pots and planters we
have out back. We got the compost OK -
and 12 more plants, 12 canes and a couple of packs of garden ties. However, before the garden centre we went to
Asda where we bought a new Sony compact camera and a couple of 4gig memory
cards for Kile, a small leg of lamb for dinner tomorrow and a couple of £1
calculators so we both have a small and simple one to hand for our general use. Finally we called into the Crows Nest for a
pint and sumat ter eat ... very nice too ;-)))
Sometime ago
I began trying to trace the Clark family tree and came to a crashing stop when
it came to granddad Clark. Being a Scot
all his birth records are in Scotland, as I mentioned a couple of days
ago. Well, since I booked my week in Scotland
I have found out that ancertry.com now allows access to all UK records and not
just the England and Wales. I'm hoping
to be able to work it through on there now - but I will still go to Scotland
for a few days ;-)))
According to
today's Dorktown Telegraph, the British army and their allies marched into
Paris on this day in 1841 after they had defeated old Boney. I wonder if he ever thought that he might
have done better and hadn't re-entered France and started the war all over
again.
A pic for
today then ...
a couple of eider ducks at Slimbridge, part of the collection
and not wild birds.
Funny time
