tuesday 12th Jan

Woke with a headache this morning, so i crept downstairs and had a huge glass of juice, followed by two paracetamol, this eventually shifted the pain, then I got on with the usual morning routine, did the cafe and the blog then mum phoned on skype and we chatted for a good while, then i called ant down and we all chatted, then aunty m came on and we conferenced for some time, in all we were on chatting for two hours, so by this time i realized it was time to get dressed.
Ant and i headed out to Hesdin to do some shopping, i checked the bank account, all was as i hoped so that was good, then we headed to Lidl as they do better veg than Carrefore. We bumped in to Rosemary in Lidl and stood and chatted to her for a bit, i ended up inviting her for lunch on thursday, it will use up the leg of lamb in the freezer, and she is always good company. We bought a fair bit in Lidl then headed down to Carrefore to finish off the shopping, i managed to get it all in under budget, and we bumped in to Mark in Carrefore, he was not looking so good, and said he felt a little under the weather. After Carrefore we went to Cultivert to buy some fuel for our little fuel heater then we headed home.
I checked the mail when we got back and found the tickets for Quantas had arrived, and series 8 of Are You Being Served, so a red letter day, i made some lunch, put all the shopping away then settled down with the Grace Bros team, it was a little disappointing, but i suppose after eight years the formula will get a little samey. Ant slept on the sofa next to me most of the afternoon, a most annoying situation. By the time i had watched the whole series it was about seven in the evening, neither of us were particularly hungry so we had a bitty dinner then settled down to more tv. I gave Mandy a call and chatted to her for a good half an hour then rejoined ant, we headed off upstairs by eleven and read for a while, I have just finished Waugh's Vile Bodies, so will now have to find something else, i really need something decent for the flight so i will have to pick something out and keep it to one side.
