Wednesday 22 May

Found the USB cable for the Passport hard drive which I couldn't find yesterday at choir committee meeting -it had fallen on floor behind dog cage.  Had late breakfast and then walked up to convent for pushing.  Had dreadful woman called Stella who complained of the cold so much I took her back. Then she leapt out of the wheelchair and marched off down the corridor - clearly able to walk very well.  I went back to Chiswick House to meet up with the others again and walked round with them then came home.  Bought a new cover for the phone.  Spent some time researching sd cards with bigger storage for phone - bit put off by horror stories of them freezing the phone but in the end ordered one and also a credit card size holder for the cards.  Then went to Sainsburys with Lorraine and changed the tankini I bought on Monday for a swimming costume, plus bought another sun dress for a nightdress.  25% off now so even cheaper than before.  In the evening went for supper with Pru and Caroline.  Lovely meal at Tas in Borough High Road. When I got back realised it was quite early so went to Westfields and had a great time.  Found the Jo Malone store and stocked up with perfume, hand cream and a candle - and got some freebies plus a hand massage invitation.  Then went to Katmandu and got some more travel towels on a 3 for 2 offer and finally went to Phones4U where I got another storage card and a dual usb car charger so now I can charge my satnav and my phone at the same time.  Particularly useful as am now using phone to listen to podcasts as the Sony Walkman has virtually given up the ghost and will no longer charge.

Roving Ringers/Cottage holiday Leominster

28th July - 4th August 2018 Photos     Itinerary Mike was based with Rovers at the YHA in Leominster , while Suki and I stayed in a cottage a few minutes drive away -  The Owl Barn  near Kimbolton. Just a few days after the Barnes Summer Trip we were off on the Roving Ringers week.  At the last minute it seemed that no-one was going to be organising the catering, so I ended up taking this on - with the help of a suggested menu and shopping list from Becky, who would be providing the meat.  I cooked a vegetable pasta sauce for the first night, and then did a huge online Sainsbury order to be delivered direct to the hostel on the Saturday night.  This worked extremely well - and it was certainly much more pleasant to sit in the garden on my computer than pushing two trolleys around a supermarket and then packing/unpacking the car.  It was just as well we did it like that as there wasn't much room in the car for shopping once we had got all our stuff and the handbike and

Wednesday 3rd December

It was lovely having a houseful this morning.  Sam said the futons were comfortable, which is good to know.  I took Suki for a walk and then went to Westfields with Lorraine, Sam, Amanda and Bethany.  We went to the food court so that the others could get something to eat, and I bought a couple of wraps from the Lebanese stall for lunch - a falafel one and a halloumi and olive one. I went home once they started shopping as there was not much I needed.  We shared the wraps, having half of each one each.  They were excellent and very filling. I took Suki out again in the afternoon and then we went off to Baden Powell House for Goldsmiths rehearsal.  We got baguettes from Pauls again, and I also took a flask of coffee as it was the final, long rehearsal tonight. We got home quite quickly on the tube and I finished off the coffee and had a sake before going to bed and watching another episode of Doc Martin.  Rather annoyingly this one didn't follow on from the previous two (which had b

Thursday 31 July

Went up to the Woodland Trust car park at Bovey Valley woods and explored the path off to the right which went along by the river and was very pleasant.  I then followed a little path through the woods at the end, over a stile, and came out on the track a little way down.  Did the Hisley bridge circuit to get back to the car park.  Went to handbells in the evening - Lisa came too.  She rang 11-12 and I rang 9-10 and had to turn the pages and generally help her!  I have moved up to P and she now has the L plates!
