Bank Holiday Monday
You can tell it is a bank holiday in the UK today as the skies are grey and no chance of any sun. At least it is not raining today (yet).
Tony wanted me to drive him to a pub that was having a beer festival and I dropped him there and said I would be back after 2PM to collect him. I took the opportunit to go to Merry Hill and have a Starbuck’s Venti Mocha Frappuchino. How I love them. I discovered them in Seattle where there is always a Starbucks every 50 yards. Since coming home I have the choice of driving 6 miles to Merry Hill or 10 miles to Wolverhampton to get one. I also took the opportunity to top up my Starbucks card with another £20 to feed my addiction.
As it is a Bank Holiday everyone decided to go to Merry Hill and there was traffic chaos there and parking was very scarce. I managed to spot someone leaving and grabbed their parking space. I had hoped M & S were selling off their summer stuff cheap but if they were I couldn’t see it! I did see a shop with some cheap trainers and T-shirts but it was so crowded I will go back tomorrow to get a pair. £15 for a pair of Fila velcro fastening trainers is too good to miss. I may get some gym gear too as I am due to start at Action Heart soon or I may go to the leisure centre at Wombourne as they also have a swimming pool.
For some reason I am obsessed by our future Caribbean cruise and spend a lot of time on eBay searching for items of clothing and other useful stuff. My watch list is 2 pages long! I have bought some shorts and tried them on this morning. I bought a size smaller than usual in the hope that I might shrink into them. They fit perfectly. What happens now if I lose weight?
Today I am also transferring my CD collection onto my MP3 player. I don’t use it enough but plan to take it on holiday with me. Yesterday I bought some earphones for it. I hate the ear bud things as they really hurt my ears. These are the ones I bought:
I also got this as I cannot for the life of me find mine and if I am to use it on holiday I need to be able to charge it!
Hopefully these two products will arrive in the next days or two and I can set about using my MP3 player to the fullest.
