    Very proud of myself today as I walked to the pharmacy to collect my prescription. It is only about a 15minute walk for a normal person but takes me a fair bit longer. Nothing done on my return except hanging up the sheets from changing my bed first thing. Out with Bear and then shopping. Shopping was less than usual so I am wondering what I have forgotten. I will have to go to to a different supermaket later in the week to get the things I couldnt get today as mr T was out of several items.

    Bear is not happy with me having brought down the suitcase I use to bring stuff back from my b-i-l. Yes its that time of the month again when I have to face the vagaries of GWR and Southern rail not to mention being up at 5.30am. An earlyish night tonight but there is no point in going too early as either I wont be able to get to sleep or I will wake in the early hours of the morning and not be able to get back to sleep.

    Bear is gorgeous - such a lovely face and I bet those ears are silky soft.
  • Well done on avoiding the charges and also on finding such a beautiful boy as Bear!  <3

    Yes, doesn't he look a good boy sitting waiting just inside the car doors?

    Bear thanks you for all the compliments and says yes his ears are silky soft but mum complains that the rest of his hair is very fine and flyaway and is frequently found in sof tea and coffee.

    The journey wasntt to bad thank you although arrived 20 minutes late so I missed a connection. Coming home the trai was late to the station but we arrived home on time. It was nice seeing bil but I wish it wasnt such a long journey.

    Nothing spent today other than my train fare and I am now officially shattered having woken about 4.30am amd too worried about missing the alarm to go back to sleep properly.
