A Mini Drama

“Real adventure is defined best as a journey from which you may not come back alive, and certainly not as the same person.” – Yvon Chouinard
I just caught the last little bit of "Sounds of the 60s".

Nipped into Dunelm↓
 
 We had a coffee and sandwich at Morrisons↓
 We went too the Range.When we got there, we saw two people trying to get a large picture and a ironing board in a Mini. The passenger was squashed in the front seat afterwards...↑↑↑
We got the paint to update our kid's bedrooms.
 Then we had a Boost↓
 We had to have another trolley, as the first trolley was rammed with bargains.
We popped into see my Father-in-law.
He was amazed on how many bargains we got...
He replied:
"I didn't know there was ANY bargains in Kidderminster!" 
Now back on the road ....
Home Time....
Birthday Time.

At Least There Was Coffee At The End Of It...

I actually got up far too early for a Sunday...
Early breakfast↓
 The sun trying to appear...
 We tried to get some black cocca powder from all the nearby Waitrose.
None have it...
Too far to go to Worcester...
Afternoon fun out....
Did a bit of food shopping:
At Bromsgrove Aldi's for a change...
Got some reduced items from Morrisons.
I just put the stuff down waiting for my son to arrive with a basket, when a man took one of our items, saying to me:
 "You have more than enough reduced items!"
Hubby wasn't happy, as the item was for his dad. Instead, hubby got some apple turnovers for 9p. 
Next stop: Webbs....
 
 They didn't have what we wanted at Lakeland, so we got it from Hobbycraft for a £1 more..
Webbs are already for Christmas.....
 
 
 

Onwards to the next place....↓
 
 
 Enjoyed the free newspaper and coffee.
 I declined a burger and chips...
I had chicken and salad instead.
The sunshine is still here \o/
 
 Moved the unit into the pantry...↑
It was starting to get cold.
Pjs time!
 
I moan about spending £15 on a watch↑
Baking day tomorrow!
