In Between Days

Friday.

Oops! We overslept and we awoke to the doorbell. Poor Ian was bringing our Aldi shopping, we hadn't heard the phone go off, so I hadn't paid him, and there he was standing there with our groceries wait while we got our lazy arses out of bed! Luckily he has the patience of a saint!

Once we'd got up and I had showered we headed in to West Bridgeford for Breakfast and shopping. We went to Cote, having never been, as it always looked a bit of a posers of Bridgeford kinda place, the range rover and wellies kind of place. So we thought, let's treat ourselves, so we went in and were pleasantly surprised as it wasn't as stuffy as we imagined. Sure, there were a few of that type in there, but the staff were welcoming enough and the food was fab! I had the festive French toast, with raspberry compote, spiced clementines pistachio cream.  Kev had a full French breakfast with brioche toast. He thought it was very good. It was approximately £32, but as I said it was a treat before the hell of shopping in M&S and the coming days of work this weekend. For me to polish off a full plate of food anywhere these days is worth it my book. It will certainly be somewhere to factor in for a birthday or celebration for us I think. 

Afterwards we headed to M&S, not been in since the refit, and again we were pleasantly surprised as the shop looks and feels much better, if a little busy, at least we had room to move, whereas before we struggled. People are still ignorant and barge past you, it is West Bridgeford after all the better heeled of Nottingham, still think they have right of way, but now you can step back without falling into a fridge or shelf. We got what we wanted, and some stuff we didn't plan on. I had to nip to Boots, I've bought myself a gua sha face massager, and I needed a serum or oil to use it with. I'd run out of usual serum so I needed more, and we needed toothpaste and mouthwash. 

Those got, I met back up with Kev who gone to Iceland to get the joint for Boxing Day. We crossed over and got the bus, as it was late so it's grab a bus when you can. 

Home. 

Kev did some more book folding I prepped more pages in my dyalog for the weekend, tried out my gua sha, cuddled Willow, and watched all the lights turn on automatically,and had a drop of mince pie liqueur that we bought at M&S. Another lovely festive day, restful, and what is needed before a mad couple of days at work.
