Breaking In The New Duvet Cover......

It is by acts and not by ideas that people live - Anatole France.

Welcome to my Saturday🍿

We had a tiny lie-in.

Followed by brew and hug↓

 Breakfast.

Dressed.

Off for a quick ride to town↓

 We parked in Car Park 7

(As Car Park 4 was still closed)

 

  We put on our face masks.

I wore the one I made yesterday.

We get the newspaper from WHSmiths.

Body Shop is now closed in the shopping centre!

I gets two lovely balloons 

(And they are blown up too)

On the way to get a much needed Costa Coffee.

I see a ex-boyfriend sitting down in Costa Coffee.He had took his mask off and I recognised him straight away...

I went out with him in 2000.

He is nicknamed "The Creature" as he put my hamster down the toilet out of spite, when I rewound a video he hadn't finished watching.

When I finished work, I found the poor hamster in the toilet, I carefully gave him a wash, and dried him off. The poor thing sadly died a few days later....I hope Karma visits him after 20 years..... 

I had my mask on, he kept looking at me stood over by the exit, I just turned my head.

We walked back to the car park, to drink our coffee.

 It is still getting warm↓

 I put the new balloons on my parent's grave↓

  My younger brother has bought a bench to sit on opposite their grave↓↓

 We sat on it for a good half an hour.
