Lol not sure why, but this afternoon we’ve been looking at folding 3 wheel bikes 😂😂😂 I bought a 2 wheeler years ago and have done about 6 miles max on it. Ds uses it if he goes out in the car for a ride as it folds.......anyway such a thing as an electric, folding 3 wheeler exists .......who knew 🤔😂😂😂😂😂 Don’t think I’ll be getting one any time soon though  at the prices 😲😲 Gave us half an hours entertainment watching them being folded into a cube.....hoping dh doesn’t get any ideas of long bike rides for the motorhome 😲😲😲😲 I’d be happy to ride a mile or so but he doesn’t have a stop button and would want to do miles and miles ......
We’ve just walked around to go outdoors and bought a couple of fold up chairs for the motorhome whilst they’re on offer. When I think of all the things we just let go in the caravan a few years ago - luckily we saved quite a bit 😀
I've bagged another couple of bags of soil and dh has put the bushes in neighbours bins 👍

We ended ended up going to the garden centre on the spur of the minute to get a tray to plant some plants in so that it can be moved when dh has a train day......he has a tiny train on the same sized tray which he’ll just swap over on the day his train friends come around.....well that’s the theory. Whilst there I saw a gadget which is basically a massive bucket on wheels with a handle. It’ll be great for moving some of the soil into the back garden to fill up some beds so I don’t necessarily have to wait for dh - I can move it half full on wheels I think.
The sun came out and it was a beautiful evening so we stopped on our way home and did a lovely half hours walk along a little babbling river called Happy Valley. It looks such a gentle meandering river but was a torrent a few months ago when we had the floods. So my plans of a sw friendly tea of paprika chicken went by the wayside and fish, a few chips and mushy peas was muchly enjoyed instead 😊 That’s my trouble too spontaneous and I’m not passing any opportunity to do nice things as you never know what’s around the corner to stop you 😋 Live for the minute 👍

You can’t ever be to spontaneous sounds like a lovely day good for you pleased you enjoyed it

Yes, it's all about getting the balance is is not.

I think the fold up chairs sounded more useful than the fold up three wheeler!

Your walk and spontaneous tea sounded lovely!  I'm all for spontaneity!👍

So I ended up in Hobbycraft and bought an assortment of balls of wool to make pretty crocheted flowers with.......my list of projects is getting longer by the minute 😂😂😂 The crochet flower book I bought last week has a lot to answer to 😳.....so £9 spent but many hours of pleasure and a lot of flowers can be made with it 😀
We were talking about getting a camping table yesterday for the van -  I have decided that it can go in the spare room the girls use when they stay for my card making.....and in the van when the girls visit. I used to have the back bedroom for my crafts but swapped rooms with dh...can’t remember why......the upshot is I have to carry my craft things down so don’t often bother. Anyway we went to the shop advertising a table that looks strong and the right size at £15 but they didn’t have any in stock.  Apparently they’re stuck at sea on a boat somewhere.😲😲 It’s only around the corner so I can keep walking around to check if they have them. 
I took the home made flower pot and card to my friend - she was over the moon with them - we had a laugh at the idea of a cheapskate pressie....it looked as good if not better than any shop bought one and hopefully will come up year after year 👍
I went to Specsavers about my hearing aids - by the time I got there and had worn them about 4 hours.....my ear was bleeding and red raw inside. The outcome is I've not to wear it for 2 weeks and go back. I made it very clear I wasn’t happy. I am going to follow it up with a letter of complaint to the manager. I asked about the domed ear pieces I used to wear. She is going to fit them next time -  tried to tell me my hearing had deteriorated and I need the moulded pieces.....but I could hear perfectly well and the only reason I went back was one aid had broken. I am not amused.....it was a trainee but a qualified practitioner was checking everything. I’m more annoyed as I kept telling them it wasn’t right and they kept saying I’d get used to it.......I’ve worn aids since 2006 so know how they should feel 😡😡😡😡

Blimey, that's dire.
No way should that happen.
I would be writing to the CEO of Specsavers.

Hope you get your hearing aids sorted it sounds awful. Our nearest Hobbycraft is too far away for me to get to which is probably a good thing because I would be bankrupt 😀
