High Winds, Homebase & Working as a Team
Well the car brakes are now fixed at the cost of £208 (yikes!) - but a least they are done and we can drive without worrying for a bit (three things have gone wrong with the car within a month so I'm hoping that it is it for a while).
Whilst the car was being fixed I sat in the local park on a sunny bench and read my book - it was a really horrible thought that I'd have to go to work afterwards as I could easily have sat there all day. I made it into work about 10 and I was totally thrown because I was doing stuff at 10 that I normally have done and dusted by 8 so I was pretty much out of sinc all day.
As I have been a bit naughty on the food front over the last week I decided not to go to Weight Watchers today (why pay £5.00 just to be told that you've put weight back on or stayed the same). However, I will be going to the class that our leader runs on a Wednesday night - so all I'm doing is buying a few extra days really to make sure I get a good result - a sneaky plan I reckon.
When I got home I whizzed round and did some chores, put the tea on and then found a sheltered spot in the garden to read my book and open the day's post. It was really windy so it was hard to find a patch in the sun where I wouldn't get blown away but I managed it.
Had a nice surprise when I opened a parcel addressed to me – it was a book that Peter had got for me from www.readitswapit.co.uk which is a brilliant site where people swap books for free and just pay the postage for sending the book. He ordered Gorky Park for me which I have been after reading for ages.
I also had a look through a book that a work friend had lent me which is about James Cracknell and Ben Fogle entitled The Crossing: Conquering the Atlantic in the World’s toughest rowing race. It’s a shame she didn’t warn me about a very graphic photo in the book of James Cracknell’s bottom which is covered in spots (apparently as a result of all the sitting down, non wearing of clothes and salt water)
After tea we went to Homebase and Peter bought a new hose attachment, some bags of compost and an extension lead for our new fridge (which we can now plug in at last!). Oh and we bought some little cactus plants in lovely little hand painted pots which were reduced. We were sorely tempted by some cute bar-b-ques they had which were in bright pink or blue but decided that it wasn’t ‘an essential’ so left them alone.
After we had done the watering when we got home, flopped on the sofa at around 8.30am and watched a bit of the box and then read a bit more of my book - I've nearly finished it and I have so enjoyed it that I'm quite disappointed.
