Day 1... so slept like the dead last night ...it was awesome not having to get up 3 times thru the night to let the dogs out ... even more awesome waking at 5am and it was already daylight ... but these English folks don't start moving about till after 8 !!! WTF ... half the day is gone by then !!!
I had fun watching the street wake and get moving !!! It's really strange the things you miss/get used to ... living on a complex in SA you don't see a soul from 1 day to the next ... so I enjoyed sitting with my cuppa this morning watching the kids walking to school ... the rows of houses that had cars on every driveway till about 9am and then there were none !!! Strange the things we notice or not !!!
Weather was very unpredictable this morning ... when I woke I could see across the valley ... then by the time I went in the shower thick clouds had formed and there was even thunder & lightning. The boys were out by 8.30am ... got me breakfast that was supposed to be an Egg McMuffin but seems McD's here is just as bad as SA side and we ended up with a sausage one ... I can't stand the taste of the sausage ... so breakfast was a couple of hash browns instead ... have to mention I'm sure they're bigger here !!! (the hash browns I mean)
Fashion watch today: normal jeans, patterned t-shirt and denim jacket with black Crocs on the feet... well I was only going Tesco shopping !!!! But one still has to look respectable ;;; what ???
Tesco's shop took 3 hours ... and that was the small one here in Clowne where half the shelves were empty ...so you can imagine how long it's going to be when I go to the 'beeg' one in Ches-vegas !!! But had a really good 'mooch' around ... of course HAD to check out the latest books and while I was standing there 'observing' I noticed that a lot of ladies were picking up this set of 3 books by E.L.James ...apparently they are being talked about everywhere ... so needless to say I had to have me a set ...apparently not books for the prudish !!! Classed as Romance, Suspense & Erotica !!! Hell yes ... gotta have me some of that !!!
After my luxurious food shop I dashed home between showers, unpacked the groceries ... did'nt have to worry about space as the kitchen was empty ... went through my pile of mail ... craft catalogues etc.... ooooh luverly stuff ... and then climbed the stairs to the computer room... before I knew it the boys were in and it was talk of dinner ...
We went for a Carvery at The DeRhodes ... cheap but really good wholesome food ... you should have seen the pile on SON-shines plate ... and NOW the boys are plonked in front of the TV ... me thinks K has won the battle and he's playing games ... P is slouched on the couch playing on his I-phone .... happy families !!!
Really loving the fact that its 10pm and it's still light outside ...
