A day in the life.........

After we had persuaded Steve to help us dispose of a large chest of drawers and we had delivered the carcass to Hertford Street, we went off to High Wycombe, junction 4 to visit Asda and John Lewis. The first was a visit to the massive Asda shop and after tiring ourselves out went into John Lewis's shop to THE PLACE TO EAT and gorged our selves on a lovely bowl of sup and a crispy roll. Too full to consider eating a full meal after the soup we looked around the top shelf with its videos, its HD tellys etc etc and finally went into the furniture store ( Have I said all this before?) to look for wall hanging furniture as we are short of floor space and we need something off the ground for all our nicknax. After deciding to call it a day and look nearer home (Home!) we set off along the M40 and encounterd some very heavy rain just past the junction 8 (Thame) and for the remainder of the trip to junction 11 at Banbury we splashed our way home.Yesterday we went to Homesave and there was some furniture which I could live with, and I bought some shelving for my little office (the front indoor porch ) when Steve came to my aid (again) and helped me to create an office for my Emac out of the old table I had in the garage at 92, having already helped to get me on-line with BT and now I have a small (10footx3'4") workspace with two , or3 phones and one or two computers, my big one and a laptop, also. What a super guy he is, he seems to be indefatigable, not like his old dad who works by the clock!! Enough of this chatter. We went church on Sunday in the church with the loveliest church spire in the County, which shares its beauty with CE and RC congregations. I suppose there must have been about 60 of us at 9am
Monday we started to pull off wallpaper from our little room and today we decided to go to Brackley (about 6 miles away) to get some tablets from Boots and to apply for our local bus passes. We once more went into a pub for soup and a roll plus a pinta Bombardier and found that we could catch a bus to Milton Keynes or to Oxford free and on the ratepayers of South Northamptonshire. I don't know much about our new County, but it looks well worth exploring later on. We tore off some more wallpaper and George from Wiltshire Farms brought us the next two weeks frozen meals for our freezer. It is not at all bad. Yesterday evening we watched the Phantom of the Opera on DVD film, Which we both enjoyed. Today we pulled off some more wallpaper, and now I am going to sit down and watch Autumn Watch with Bill Oddy and Kate Humble. Cheers G&G
