To make up for not doing anything yesterday, we went into the city.
We started off at Black Sheep. Had our coffee fix. Then up to Victoria Centre to go in John Lewis. I wanted the metal cat baubles for the Halloween tree. I didn't realise that the shops in the centre don't open until 11am. So we had to wait to pay for them. You can browse, from 10.30am. All this is new to us on a Sunday, still, and we still get a kick out of not being at work on a weekend.
We then went to TJ Hughes so I could get those pencils I'd seen on Wednesday. I was really pleased to learn if you spend £20 you got a fiver off. The pencils were £10, so I bought 2 packs. They are the W.H Smiths ones ( and wont be replaced when they are gone. I like those pencils, as they blend really well and the pigments cover well. So I got 72 colouring pencils for £15, a bargain for me anyway.
After which we headed to TKMAXX, I was really good. I picked up a Skull on a plinth, but put it back down. Kev did pick up the metal pumpkin cauldron with lid, which he has now put in the kitchen to hold all the snacks in.
We then nipped into Waitrose, Kev got a salad, and I got a couple of tins of french onion soup, as I still don't feel like eating much.
Food got, we headed back to market square and got the bus home.
In the Evening we watched Steel Magnolias as a tribute to Dolly as it was her funeral today.
I think we should watch Clue tomorrow by means of a tribute to Tim Curry. I can't watch Rocky Horror yet, as I will be crying like a baby at the I'm coming home bit. I'll leave that a couple of weeks until its less raw. Mind you, Steel Magnolias got me blubbering ( it did when we saw it at the pictures all those years ago) as did Beaches, with Bette Midler.
