    My DD2 who is used to Waitrose, gets dead confused in tesco, she beams at people and they completely blank her. In Waitrose (ours is mainly families and the retired) everyone coo-coos her.

    I feel for her, I'm the same. In Tesco people barge into you with their trolly and glare at you, in Waitrose they keep apologising :rotfl:

    Busy as always here fighting fires. Off to town in a minute with DH, flying has consisted of laundry and preparing food :o

    Well theres not a lot I can actually do at the moment, all public rooms are tidy, so I have about half an hour to do nothing. Ok well I could load the washing machine as the loads are all sorted but I might as well enjoy my cuppa and chill.

    Quiet here today so you must all be busy.

    It's been a depressing day here. We had a tiny bit of sun first thing but it soon disappeared and yes, you guessed it, we have rain once more.

    Did go out though and do the butcher and greengrocers and got a couple of bits for NN whilst I was there. But apart from that, I've been tucked up writing all day. Seems the only thing to do when it's so wet!
