Thank you Anne for starting this thread.
Your granddaughter must love you very much. She is a very fortunate girl to have you looking after her.
Today, I opened up our church, (very early ?) the usual keyholder is on holiday, as is our Parish priest.
I then did a bit of admin and had a go at sorting the photocopier, (I love troubleshooting technical things), came to the conclusion it needed an engineer, so listed all the faults and left an example of what was wrong.
Tidied up after the service, procrastinated by chatting to everyone and anyone, sorted a few problems, then went to the shops.
I can't really carry much, but I saw a space right outside the freezer shop, where they do deals on cases of Pepsi Max. (and I had a coupon)
I foolishly stocked up, (can't resist a bargain) manouevered the trolley out of the shop towards my car.
What I didn't realise was that the pavement was on a slope, veering towards the main road, the (too) heavy trolley starting rolling towards my car and the road.
I started to make all these silly noises, as I tried to stop it! Ohhhhh, aahhh, oooh, oh no!, insterspersed with a croup like cough and some rude words. I felt such a fool.
At that point the rain started to come down in torrents and I was soaked, (no hood, showcasing my new yellow coatigan) I looked like a bedraggled scarecrow.
DH was not amused, as I'm not fit for things like that, he said I should have asked him to get them. I did, THREE WEEKS AGO!
Just as I arrived home, DS2 and partner arrived, a good excuse to sit and chat, after I had put everything in the freezer.
Unfortunately the freezer was full and there was no room for my 12 mint Cornetto cones. .
My stomach had obviouly ruled my head!
Just had a roast dinner, am now going for a soak in the bath and some steam and menthol crystals to shake this horrendous cough. I'm barking like a dog, but DH of course is barking louder, noticebox that he is! He thinks he has double pneumonia or some lethal, obscure virus, picked up on the plane back from Rome. He is a conspiracy theorist.
A really exciting day! I think not!!!
Enjoy your evening, all.
