Trip to Town

Dear Family,
Went into Banbury today, determined to get myself some new shoes. When I was walking from the car park I was surprised to see double. as if one vision was over the top of the other. I had noticed this before and I kept putting off my visit to SpecSavers, so I decided to go into the shop where I had bought these. It was 0945 and I was given an appointment for 11.30. So I went into M&S as you do, and bought myself some new slip-on shoes, very smart and would take the place of ones that I was getting fed up with because they had brown wood stain on.
I also bought a replacement drinking glass as I broke one of my best in the d/w.
I was looking for some toenail clippers, but I was directed to Boots so, determined to waste a bit of time before 11.30 and having treated myself to some of Drucker's hot chocolate in the Castle Quay shopping centre,I went into Boots to get what I have been intending to do for months and got some, as my big toes were trying to get out, and they were beginning to hurt as they used to at the beginning of the football season.
It was quite warm and sunny, so I sat on one of Banbury's conveniently placed benches and watched the clock for 30 minutes, and went to keep my appointment. I have had these specs since February but I went through the whole shebang of an eye test . I must have been there for about an hour and the upshot of it all was that I will be getting a new pair of glasses at no extra cost as it is part of S/savers contract that if I have to get a replacement in three months, I get the second pair free. Just in time too, as three months was approaching.
I had intended to treat myself to some fish and chips in the F&Chippery, but as time was approaching for my blue card I came home and warmed up my lamb casserole, and fell asleep in the armchair. Here endeth the lesson, as I wanted to keep the blogger open. Thanks to www I seem to be doing alright. Looking forward to seeing J&R on Saturday! Dad.
