18 July
Running a
bit late again today cos we’ve been into town for a few hours. We also called
into the Willy White for what we hoped was a quiet drink; no chance! There was
loud mouthed woman in there shouting the odds about her boy friend sitting in
front of her. She was not only loud, she was also very foul-mouthed, loads of F
and B every other word, even though her young daughter was sat there beside
her. There will come a day when she will wonder where her girl got her bad language
from.
We did go
to Astley Book Farm and I had a great time. First off we had a to their café
where I had a really nice cappuccino, Jan was adventurous as ever and had a
diet coke. The Book Farm is a second-hand book shop at its heart so after our
drinks I set out to explore the thousands of books on the shelves. It was my
turn to be adventurous, I bought five books all told, three Stephen King (one
of which has four of the Brachman books in it), a Neil Gaiman, and a Val
McDermid, see, really adventurous eh. However, I made a booboo; I’ve already
got the McDermid on my shelves. Ah well … … …
Here on me lappy I have a book list. I began that list after I kept buying books I already had on my shelves. The idea was that I would upload it to my mobile phone. With that all I need to do is to look up a title on the phone, then I should have no more double buying. Haha … I now need to do the uploading bit, then the idea would be useful.
On the
way home we called into the Anker for a drink. That was nice too and left us
wondering why we stopped going there in the first place. I’ve remembered why
now, it’s because Charlie and Sam only had the coke in bottles, and not on
draft. The new couple have it added on draft. Mind you, I say, ‘new couple’ but
they’ve been in there for 15 months now. I wasn’t all that impressed with the
dinner I had though.
Later today we are going for a ride out in and around town looking for a new armchair. We only have one recliner each at the moment. When Kile comes, he’s sitting on a camping chair. If any own else comes it’s just not suitable for them. So now we need to go and get a new one. Jan is off soon to take Kile’s asthma spray home and then when she gets back we can get off out again.
Good news
has just arrived too; my operation is set for 1st August and I have
to be there for 7am. At least we have a date and we now know what’s happening.
I do have to stop taking three of my meds seven meds a week before, the 25th.
I shall be happy when it’s all over and done with, I really will. That will
mean there will no blog a for some time, sorry about that.
Our
shopping has been done with an arm chair being delivered tomorrow. We also
bought a new, but smaller computer desk and a kitchen stool. Sadly, Jan put her
foot down with a firm hand over another bookcase I was eyeing up, ah well … And even though this place looks like a garden
centre, we’ve also bought a tiny little cactus, and we both like them anyway.
Photo time …
A blackcurrant jam crust, nice too.
Today’s
funny …
When Sandy MacGillivray came back from his first trip to London, everyone in the village was keen to find out how he had got on.
"Did you like it?"
"Oh, it was no' bad."
"As good as that, Was it?"
"Well, there was just the one thing wrong. The other guests in my hotel just would not go to their beds. They were in the corridor ouside my room shouting and banging on my door untill three o'clock in the morning." So what did you do, Sandy?"
"Och, I just kept on playing my bagpipes."
