Freedom!

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.  

3 bags of small Russets £1 per bag, a bag of 5 oranges (£1) and a punnet of Nectarines (not in photo) £1.25.

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 . . .

  2. It made a big difference to me as I had been getting rather low and depressed within my fall walls, however nice they are!

  3. Bramley Hedge I hate to think how many mice and plates we have around the house we bough back in the 1980's

    1. I 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 . . .
