In Between Days

Monday.

Cooler, and more cloud cover, but when the sun did peep out from behind its grey curtains, it was still fierce. 

Charlotte came round, and we went down by the canal. We took it steady, as her knee has been painful of late, the heat probably hasn't helped. I know it affected Kev's. Ive struggled a little, but more with my balance more than anything. My CP tends to have good and bad days. Some days I can go further than others, without much discomfort, others I'm a little unstable on my feet, clumsy if you like. My stick helps more than I like to admit, and I can still tumble easily even with it on those days. 

Anyway we took a steady walk down by the canal to the retail park. We had a coffee at Costa (not great service, and they have a limited choice) We much prefer Black Sheep. 

We looked in Homesense and they had a few code orange items in, nothing I lost my heart to. Not teally looking for much to be honest, I won't say that I'm not going to buy anything this year, because we know I will, but now I have what I have I'm more picky we have limited space, so it means I'd have to get rid of something we already have. So, it's going to have to be something bloody special. 

We then went in B&M for Swedish Fish. I bought a few packets, they are rare over here, we bought some back from Florida, but they went ages ago. I don't allow myself a lot and share with Kev, but its nice to have a few stashed in the sweet jar. 

I got a bigger citronella candle for outdoors, even if the heatwaves over it'll keep. Kev's ordered a fold down rattan table too, so that we can fetch that out in future outside. Again, we might not use it again this year but like the chairs they are always there if we do. We dont want permanent garden furniture outside as you have to keep moving it when the gardeners come, and covers for it in the winter. So stuff we can fold down and put in the shed suits us fine. 

We nipped to Sainsbury's to get the hydrolife cat food for Miss Willow and then had an uber home.
