Feb. 20th, 2020 06:38 pmIt was a long day yesterday.
( Talk about blood donation )
After that, we had a walk along the quayside at Newcastle as we had a few hours to kill before picking up my niece and nephew as my SIL was at contact and my MiL had to go to the doctors. James was also at the doctor's but I just hung in the play corner of our doctors with the kids when he went in and they were really good. Plus, his blood pressure is now at the top end of normal which is great.
We took them to the play park after that but it was cold and wet with puddles under the swings and slide, plus, teenagers had taken over the equipment so it just wasn't fun to be there, so we gave in and took them for a Happy Meal at McDonald's instead. Where there was the most grumpy employee ever. She was in a temper with herself and while emptying rubbish in the bin was slamming it in and muttering about how people couldn't put rubbish in there properly and I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if she snapped and launched a tray at someone's head.
Then, after we dropped the kids off and came home someone had parked in front of our garage so James couldn't park up. He went off on a detective hunt trying to find the guilty party from the neighbours because while there are multiple parking spots next to the garages they're all unofficially claimed by the people living around the square, so parking in one would lead to raised eyebrows. After a flurry of knocking and FB messages, the culprit was found and all was well in the world *g*
Oh, and we also saw the Knife Angel while on our walk. It's made of knives confiscated by the police, and it's chilling just how big some of those blades are.
Today we've been to Costco, where the sample tables were pretty great, got the cat litter, some shopping at Company, visited Kayleigh then home where I've been waiting for a download for Picard to turn up. But it hasn't yet so I'll have to watch tomorrow now when it hits my Amazon Prime.
