Back home.
I carried on writing the 3 blog entries.
Hubby was putting up a curtain rail in the Dining Room.
We had a later lunch...
While we were listening to the radio, one of our favourite songs came on.
I started singing along, and some lyrics were missing!
"The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"
The song is at the end of this blog post. 
Then we had to go out and nip to Morrisons to pick up a Magic Bag.
Plus Hubby's dad had no shopping left in his house as his foot was still swollen up since last week.So hubby did some shopping for him as well.
Gets home to unpack the Magic Bag.
I went round to see my nextdoor neighbour to give him some Figs as he like figs.
We had a chat for half an hour.
When I got back, hubby had put up the curtain rail! \o/
I then went to work on making a sausage casserole.
Out came the heavy red pot with lid.
