Weekend Happenings

Peter was at footie so I had a pottering sort of day, a few chores here and there, and a bit of actually lying out in the sun in the garden (I could almost feel the vitamin D penetrating my bones and topping up their strength). I hope so anyway, cos at the grand old age of 45 I’ve started to creak. I’ve always had ‘bad knees’ they crunch and grind when I straighten them – I had them x-rayed in my teens but doctors couldn’t find anything but let’s face it, it’s not normal, and I’m convinced it’s due to lack of fluid around the joints and at some point it’s going to get painful. Anyway, I’ve now noticed a sort of clicky grinding noise, occasionally, in my right hip – ho hum old age is setting in.

On Saturday night we were glued to the X Factor and new game show ‘The Cube’ (I tape Strictly as Peter isn’t it’s biggest fan unfortunately).

On Sunday we went to Haskins Garden Centre and Hobbycraft. Haskins do a lovely brecci at a very reasonable price (well extra reasonable for me as Peter paid!) so we had that first, then a mooch around the garden stuff – staff were also busy decorating the Christmas trees in the Christmas section of the store! Then off to Hobbycraft where I bought a very expensive and likely very challenging cross-stitch kit. I want something to keep me busy in the winter months so that’s my project – here’s the picture below – detailed or what!



Yesterday, we also booked up to see ‘Scrooge’ starring Tommy Steele in December at the Mayflower. I love the Christmas Carol story and Peter has always wanted to see Tommy Steele so win win really. Lots of nice things to look forward too – that’s what I like.
