I slept well again last night (writing that should put the kibosh on a good night's sleep for a 3rd night!) and went into Llandod straight after breakfast. I got my paper from the newsagent (I like to support local shops), posted my letter to Holland, and had a wander along the High Street to look in the charity shop windows. In the Bracken Trust shop I spotted a red/white/brown checked coat which looked the right sort of weight to wear on holiday. I went in and it was my size, and having tried it on, it came home with me. £6 well spent.
Then along to the wool shop, where I managed to get some Anchor threads to match the DMC colours I was looking for. Will have to put those on winders tonight with the DMC number on them. These are for the Benjamin Bunny x-stitch.
I wandered down to the other charity shops, but left empty handed, as I did from the book/art shop as they didn't have the Liberon Gilt Cream I was after. I need it for touching up the horse picture frame and the jar I have has dried up. I have tried adding a little White Spirit since coming home and hope that may just revive it enough for me to use. I don't need much and don't want to spend £15 on another one just for this little job.
Llandod has a few nice little shops, including a good health food shop, and in the summer, the Rock Park and Spa is pleasant to wander around, and there are nice walks around the Lake and through the nearby woodland too.
Then a quick trot round Tesco, sticking to my short shopping list and then back home. I set to, making the bread base for the Apple Yeast Bread for Alex tomorrow, then some Lemon biscuits. My temporary neighbour who is helping Ed out, popped up to see what I bought at Malvern, and we had tea and biscuits and a good natter. He's going to pop up on Friday and put up some masking tape for me in the guest bedroom, as I can't reach. It was good to have company and he had been feeling a bit lonely down there on his own too.
Now it's time to read my paper and do some sewing.
