We need to
get some shopping done today; Jan is at the dentist at 2pm so I'm going to do
this so I can get going. I would have
gone earlier but we've had someone come round to measure up for some blinds for
the rear window and door. What a game
that was. At the store where we booked
the appointment we were told that the cost would £40 each for two blinds and
there is not fitting charge. The girl
who came today has gone off muttering because of it claiming that they know at
the store that her samples and prices are a good deal more than those quoted in
the store. So one again we end up as
piggy in the middle, and we're not happy about it. Anyway, the blinds are ordered and due fitted
in four weeks.
That week
will be a busy week for us what with hospital and GP visits, a weekend away in
Brighton, picking up our new car and leaving the following day for a two week
break in Western Super Mare. By the time
we arrive in Western we will need are two week break. I've also booked an appointment with our foot
butcher for four days after we leave; so that's another job I have to do,
letting her know.
It looks
like our neighbours June and Tony have found themselves a bargain. They have a lot of family and friends in the
Chapel St Leonards area. One of their friends
phone to say that there was static caravan for sale for just over a grand. June's sister went round and went and had a
look and confirmed it was good buy. They
now own it. They are both very happy
about it. Personally I spent four days in
a static owned by some other friends of ours there a year or two ago and wasn't
impressed. It was cold and wet. I had been toying with the idea of buying one
before that but that our days put me right off the idea, not my idea of fun at
all.
I'm
currently reading James Herbert's Ash,
which I think is his last book. The
blurb on the back says it's his most contentious book yet. I think I can agree with that. It starts with the death of Princess Diana
dying in that tunnel in Paris ... but did she?
That's just part of the story line.
He makes a lot of claims about Harold Wilson and Ted Heath; King Edward
after he abdicated, Winston Churchill and any others, all dead of course. It's all wrapped in a tale of corruption and
ghosts and evil spirits. Not a bad read
if you want something get into.
That photo
of mum I posted the other day has now been entered into a photo competition, my
first attempt at entering one. Let's
hope eh ;-))) So for today then I offer
...
Prince's Street Gardens looking towards Waverly Station.
Today's
funny ...
Went around
to a friends house today. His wife was sat there with their newborn baby. She
asked if I'd like to wind it.... I thought that was a bit harsh so I gave it a
dead leg instead.
