Hello Bloggets. How
has your day been? Surprisingly last
night I slept OK thought to myself if Teen had not have made the ferry home, he
would have let me know, so what is it they say? No news is good news.
Woke up and got ready to go out for the day. Teen text to
let me know he was in the UK so he did make the ferry… Our taxi was booked for eleven and by eight
minutes past the driver wasn’t here. To say we were a little anxious was an
understatement. Our train was at 11.35 and it’s on a good day fifteen minutes
to our train station, but by the time we get out of the taxi, harness the dogs
up and walk to the inside where we get our tickets, yep, we had to pick up our
tickets, they were booked and paid for but not collected.
Wagga tried to take me under those ropes that people are
meant to queue around but we made it there only to be told that we had brought
the wrong reference number with us. Oh time ticking. Now 11.27, and it’s not
too close to the platform, so another bit of a walk. Anyways turned out that
the lady had spelled our name wrong so she realised that and we were sorted. We
went to the desk for assistance and the lovely Huu’uu’uu’Ge Italian man was
waiting for us. Gosh, he was so tall, well; I guess he still is tall, hehehe.
It was only this afternoon when I saw him.
We went to the first lift, in up and out of that then the
second lift and at last onto the platform. We did get stuck behind an elderly
family with their grand children who were casually on their merrily way to
catch a train, unlike us who had forty seconds before it was due to pull away.
When we got on the train, there was a lady in our seats. Now
the whole train was empty. Our carriage had her, her baby and another couple of
voices but our two seats were taken…. Never mind there were plenty more to pick
but I just thought why those two? You have the full train and you pick those
with reservation cards or whatever they use now days to show the seats are booked.
A very short journey only one stop about 25 minutes and we
were there. If not for the journey to and from the station, to see family and
friends would be so fast. But the car journey is a pain. It’s two and a half
miles to our city and it takes between fifteen and thirty five minutes to get
there depending on traffic.
Then there was the guessing game. Which side of the train
would the doors open? Haha. Normally we are wrong and today we were not disappointed.
Wrong again. But off the train and the fun day began.
My brother and Sister picked us up and we went off for
lunch. Well, that was funny; Hub and I last night went on line to read the
menu. We try to be as little of trouble as possible and rather than get people
to read the menu even though they wouldn’t for a second complain about reading
it to us, but when we can make life a little easier we try. Well, this menu went on and on and on, I was copying
and pasting and putting into a word file so we could decide on what we wanted. As
the list was enormous. We couldn’t remember what was what. I would say there
were hundreds of different dishes to choose from. We went to the Bridge Inn and
took a table in the snug. It was lovely really nice seats so comfortable,
anyway I digress. I read the menu to Hub, well, no, my software did and we have
never been so bamboozled at such a choice, only to get to the bottom of the
list for my computer to read…..
“Lunch Menu!”
Well, we had been reading the night time menu. So lunch was
a little easier, in fact a huge amount easier. There were about five starters
and five mains.
I had garlic mushrooms with bread and a sauce with a lettuce
leaf stuffed with salad and a French dressing on. Hub had some absolutely disgusting
black pudding and large vegetable crisps.
Mains we had Hub giant fish and chunky chips and I had a massive Baggett
with chunky chips. We had coffee too and soft drinks everyone had something
different and we most of all enjoyed the company.
Teen went out the other day came in the house and told me he
bought his Aunty and Uncle Birthday cards. Well, as he left for Amsterdam, I
asked him if he had written them out. He said no, he forgot he was late so had
no time so I was panicking. I told him it would cost a bit of money as he would
have to put on two stamps per card to make sure they got there and we were
going so write them and that will save putting stamps on as bless him they
wouldn’t have been cheap as we only have one place around here that do cards so
they charge the earth. Also I wanted them to get there on time.
So is bag on arm coat over shoulder ready to leave the house
he starts to write them out. He was smiling laughing as writing I asked him
what on earth was he writing, I don’t know, but he has a rather odd sense of humour
so I hope my Sister in-law sees that too… As it was hers he was spending time
on. I was saying come on come on you are going to be late. His bus was to leave
in that minute.
I was to give the cards to my brother and sister in law.
Well they dropped us off at our besties Trix, Like and Hanz after our meal as
we sat on the couch, heck, what was in my bag? The two cards. My brother had
said goodbye to us fifteen minutes earlier. Bless our friends they said they
would post them for us. So I do feel little bad that they did that for us as it’s
an inconvenience for them but I’m very grateful too.
As ever we had a wonderful catch up with friends and bless
Hanz she took us to the station to catch our train back. Home to a Teen. All
safe and said he had the best time so that is fantastic.
That was all yesterday and this is today. Our TV has blown
up. Well, OK not quite, but popped and sizzled. Hub and I were watching it last
night and he asked me if I thought the screen was on? How the heckers did I
know? Well, we felt it, it was cold, so that meant it wasn’t so we watched the
blank screen and still could hear it something to do with cables connected to
something with sound haha. Techno Fi has no idea. It didn’t bother us and Teen
was out so he didn’t need to see it. If it were up to us, we would have a tiny
portable TV no need for a large screen but today we are to buy a TV and I hope,
Teen will drive Hub to the shop as it’s something you can’t buy online. Teen is
at the gym now so on his return after he showers and so on, hopefully we will
buy our Television.
Our dogs have just returned from their walk with our June.
So two walks for them in less than four days. Gosh, hope they don’t think this
is going to be a thing? Haha. Just she can’t do through the week as her Grand
child is coming to stay. I’m seeing Artie anyway so hopefully she and I will
walk the Wagga, if it’s raining there is a kettle with our names on. Not seen
her for eight weeks so we will have a lot to catch up on.
Sunny today I have just cleaned the dog run. Nice….. Other
people go out for Sunday lunch, me? The dog runs to do. Smile. I don’t mind at
all I had a great day yesterday. My brother asked how we clean up the dog mess.
Well, those thin rubber gloves on one hand and a bag in the other. Just feel
for it, means it takes twice as long but it gets done and nothing gets missed.
Then we use a proper cleaner and tough brush we also have shoes just for this
job. We have a closed off part of our garden so it’s not everywhere or that
would be impossible.
Well on that note, back to work tomorrow after a long two
weeks. Life goes on. Until then, with
love.
