Whoops, awake and making tea at 4.00am again! I’m not quite sure how Mal is going to get his head around working today!

We had breakfast and then I drove Mal to Warwick Uni for his first days work. From there I went on to Leamington Spa. For some reason I became a little lost and ended up parking in a square, knowing I was fairly near the shops. It wasn’t until I was feeding money into the parking meter that I realised I had parked outside the flat I lived in about 43 years before! I found that a little spooky!

I returned some jeans I bought in M&S which had a faulty zip and I had only worn them once. They were very good and just handed me the £25 back when I explained I bought them cash, they fitted so I had no reason to keep the receipt. I was impressed!

I then discovered a shop I hadn’t seen before “Taking Shape”. They are evidently Australian and have only been in the UK market for a year. The assistants in there were lovely. I tried on two tops and couldn’t decide which one. They are quite pricey so resisted buying both!! By the time I arrived back at the hotel I had made my mind up that I will return tomorrow to get the second top. I then looked on the internet and  found out that you can get 20% off your first online order! So, I ordered one (or two!!) tops and they also have necklaces buy one get one half price AND free delivery!! A good days shopping but I did initially go out to buy a birthday present for my sister! Another day tomorrow.

Mal arrived back from his meeting full of talk from members of the exam board of how Gove is ruining the education system. I think we already knew that.

Kenilworth is a haven of eating places and so my choice tonight, Loch Fyne. I love fish and their Cullen Skink is so good! The staff again were so nice. I seem to be finding this everywhere I go and I am wondering whether I am just so used to north Cyprus’s take it or leave it attitude. That’s sad.
