A bit of a dull start, which fooled us into thinking it was cooler, but we soon had to take our coats off.
We walked down the canal and went to Homesense. Christmas is fast taking over the displays, with Halloween shoved into a corner now. I know its coming, but I always find it sad.
Mind you, Kev did find a beautiful edition of Greys Anatomy. Hardback and perfect for scanning in and copying for my junk journal. At a good price too, and an added bonus it looks great under my Frankenstein bust on the "mantle".
We had to go to Maccy's for coffee as Costa is still shut for refurbishment. It was while we were in there that Tracey Milano rang me to let me know that Max, a friend and colleague from work passed away on Monday. It knocked me back a bit, more than I expected, we got very friendly towards the end of my time at JS, she always took me off on time so I got my bus. She came onto Sunday shifts, and we both used to joke that if we had met years before we would have been like sisters from another mister... I knew she was living with breast cancer, and her poor body had been through the mill with all the treatments, bless her. But, I thought she was winning, its such a shame
I know we are at that age, but all it seems like a constant stream of bad news at the moment.
When we left Maccy's we went to Lidl, got some stuff we needed, mainly fruit and greek yogurt, and walked over the hill towards the tram stop. We got off at the station and went out to get the bus home. As the buses were once again all over the place, we got a Bingham and got off in Bridgeford, to wait there for a Cotgrave as at least there is seats, the stop at the station is being painted and you can't sit down.
We got home around 2pm. We had both walked around 7, 000 steps, so it was a feet up afternoon.
My new art journal came from Amazon with a few more supplies to start a new junk journal when this one is done.
