  • Another busy week with parents and grandchildren. On duty today for looking after youngest DGS as his sister is having her birthday party. We had a lovely day yesterday in the big park the colours were glorious. Filming was going on for the series Ridley so we watched that for a few minutes . 
    I need to get Christmas wrapping paper , seem to have ran out of all my stock of reused bags and paper . 
    Later will be getting the shopping list together for tomorrow after the meal planning. I am away for a few days from next Sunday so need to factor that in. 
    Had lovely chats this week with friends. 
    I had to meet a person yesterday who I haven't seen for a while and was a little worried about it but it was ok . This person was part of the stress of the last few months but hopefully it's mostly over now and the future will be better. 
    Anyway best get going to DDs .

  • Friday again they come so fast, today is glorious sunny autumn day after all the rain overnight. DGS and  I went to the big park again this morning very enjoyable it was. I forgot to bring DGS a snack so went in the cafe and picked up some crisps a normal bag. The girl said £1.95 I nearly fainted and said forget it , how can anyone charge that for crisps. I am going to put some snacks in my car permanently so I don't get caught out again . There are two pigs and they are enormous .

    That’s extortionate about the crisps, how can they justify that price 😡
