Tuesday 1st November 2011

Well, I am quite stunned how warm it is for the UK in November. Again I woke at 4.00 and got up followed by Mal a short time afterwards. We really will have to sort out body clocks out. I woke and wondered why cars sounded so near because I thought I was in Cyprus!

I went out to buy a couple of things at Sainsburys and came out with more than a couple of things! Another bargain and it goes on until next Monday!! see link Looks as though our suitcases are going to be full on the way back.

Because of the offer in Sainsbury’s, I had already bought Mal a shirt and then he said he would come back with me and buy some more. I also popped into TKMax and as I was in the queue paying for something I asked Mal to go and see if they had strong Christmas wrapping paper. The trouble with a lot of it is, it is so thin that when you pack presents into the car, it starts ripping.  So, he found the wrapping paper and shouted across the store “Shall I try ripping it like you do?” He hates shopping and so will do anything to embarrass me, in the hopes I won’t take him again. He also told the cashier in Sainsburys as we were paying for his shirts, that now he had clothes to wear as he only owns the shirt he had on.

I started wrapping some presents later and then we were invited to Shirley and Steve’s for dinner which was really nice seeing them. Some of our parcels had been delivered to their house, one of which in spite of the correct item on the invoice, wrong item in the large parcel! Oh dear, that will have to go back now. Thanks Past Times!

Mal, Shirley and Steve
