The long dark tea-time of the soul

Tuesday. 

Sue messaged me to say that her and Pete were feeling well enough to go out for lunch. We haven't seen them for a while as they have both had some kind of bug. 

So we headed to the city to meet up with them and went to Lloyd's no1 on the edge of Hockley. 

We had a lovely catch up, and good laugh. 

We did a little shopping, looked for Halloween stuff buy only found tat, Poundland is very poor this year, I hope it gets better, last year was epic. Wilkos had nothing and M&S in the city had nothing yet. 

We expect the supermarkets to be late as they always are. But come on chaps, some of us have Halloween to plan here... 

With a smidge of Christmas too, like doing our own Queen's speech...lol

Sharry Sinclair kindly let me use her photo from Edinburgh when the cortege went past. For my blog and dyalog. So thank you lady, very kind of you. ( I know you're reading, you killer ninja you!)
