Early Mother's Day

After Church on Sunday, there was some debate about what we should do. A walk was deemed to be the order of the day. We rang Lisa to see if she wanted to come with us and she suggested that we went for a walk and then she would treat us to dinner. This is in lieu of a Mother's Day meal as circumstances mean that we can't arrange to get together on the actual day.

We went round and were "hotfoot" to go on the walk. Alan had just got in from a rail trip and was getting showered and changed so we sat down and chatted. We should have hung around in the hall ready to go because we didn't get out of the house until 5pm. By then, all we wanted to do was eat. We headed west towards Darleys but it was obviously packed. There was a BOGOF offer which had attracted the punters so we carried on to the Country Park on the foreshore. The place is usually packed but the diners must have all been at Darleys. We got a perfect seat overlooking the river Humber and the Humber Bridge. There was Speckled Hen on draught and the food wasn't too bad. Mind you, it is very rare to get decent carrots when out in pubs and I'm afraid these were no different.

Nothing much today. Sorted out the plug in the bathroom and took the opportunity while down at B&Q to have a look at Halfords, Comet and Currys! Several discoveries, bicycle helmets are made for people with smaller heads than me; not many boomboxes with DAB; not many set top boxes with recorders on the shelves; if we buy a new TV , may need a bigger house! The only retail therapy was some weed for the aquarium from Pets at Home.
