Saturday

I have had a nice day. Grandaughter no2 is in the girl guides and her mum had to take her to the station this morning to catch a train to London where she and her fellow guides are spending the night on the H M S Belfast. It's called " a kip on a ship". H and no2 son have been on a tour of the ship and have told her tales of a mummified cat in a mini hammock, so she says she will be on the lookout for that. After daughter had dropped her off at the station she came round to mine and took me to a garden centre where we had a toasted tea cakes and cup of coffee before shopping for seeds and plants.we bought lots of nice things. Daughter has just taken over an allotment so she bought seeds and plants for that and a few for her garden. I bought some fertiliser and an attachment for our hosepipe so H can water the grass. We had lamb cutlets for dinner with veg and mint sauce. H says if it's not too wet in the morning we will go out on our bikes again. I am still coughing but it's no worse since my last ride ( and no better ).
