Right I thought, this morning, I've had enough of this. I am OUT today. I set off for Carmarthen at 9.30, and achieved all my tick list bar going to Tesco for more on-offer cat biscuits. Will do that next week and hope they are still on offer. I went through Abergwili and picked up some good fresh fruit from Chris Thomas (how I miss their warehouse).
New shoes (slightly too tight) returned to shop, and a replacement pair a size larger ordered - also in purple. They are v. slightly too big so will need a little tab stuck into the heel.
As I walked through Carmarthen, I noticed vaping shops and side by side gents hairdressers where proper shops used to be. I remember reading somewhere recently that many of these places are a front for money laundering . . . I do not miss Carmarthen at all. It hasn't improved with keeping. I went into M&S to get some of their Posh Prawn Sandwiches for my lunch, and a can of Brazilian orange fizz. That was a special treat.
I went to The Works for colouring pens and pencils to go with the Brambly Hedge colouring book I treated myself to (encouragement from Susan there!), and the health food shop for organic Mung Beans to sprout (encouragement from Thelma). It was a good walk up the town and my body needed it. Will try and get going every day now.
Then finally to see my friends P&D, for a good natter. I'd not seen them, apart from extremely briefly to drop presents off at Christmas, for months. It was good to catch up.
Spoilt . . .
Hooray, sounds like you had a lovely day out. Hugs Xx
ReplyDeleteIt made a big difference to me as I had been getting rather low and depressed within my fall walls, however nice they are!
ReplyDeleteBramley Hedge I hate to think how many mice and plates we have around the house we bough back in the 1980's
ReplyDeleteI know, they were so cute. I just have the little books which I read to my girls (Danny had Thomas the Tank Engine of course). I still love their whimsey . . .
DeleteNew surroundings, fresh air, getting things done, all good for the winter blues. I chose the Brambley Hedge over the William Morris colouring book. It hasn't arrived yet. Of course, the office storage things I ordered, to get the the big old wooden desk organised, have arrived, which means work instead of play. Not sure I can face it today.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful day out - sometimes that's just what we need to "blow the cobwebs away". That is an amazing selection of sewing patterns & fabrics - did your friend gift them to you? I need to get walking again too - I have been very slack in that department.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit to my blog & your lovely comment. I very much enjoyed following along on your South Island trip to New Zealand, late last year. Wishing you a great weekend. Julie 😊
