peace and humdrum
So ...... 1st day of holiday today.
Rearranged some chairs and a cabinet in the lounge. Took The Boy to the doctor, took Darling Daughter to the supermarket, took a friend somewhere she wanted to go, walked around my village.
Found a chocolate shop! Sat down and had a hot chocolate in the sweet smelling shop. Complimented the shop owner on her new shop and asked if she made the chocolates on sale herself.
She didn't
They came from Belgium
Can't help thinking she's missing a trick there.......
Called into the linen shop - had a nice chat with the shop assistant - bought an Egyptian cotton laundry bag
Called into the electrical shop - had a nice chat with the shop assistant - bought some vacuum bags
Called into bric brac type shop - had a nice chat with the shop assistants - bought a birthday card for my sister, Lil Sis - forgot her birthday yesterday - am terrible sister
Called into the Post Office - bought a stamp for Lil Sis' belated birthday card - no chat as staff very grumpy
Called into the Pharmacy - had a nice chat with the shop assistants - bought small pot of Vaseline
Walked passed HSBC bank - waved to nice friendly bank assistant
Got into car and drove home
Sorted out a load of washing
Sorted out some paperwork
Made supper
Sat on my sofa feeling all warm and fuzzy thinking of how important maintaining village life is. We have a wonderful fabric of community here in the UK, we just have to work hard at maintaining it.
Looking forward to day 2!!!
