Our Weekend

Diane and I were up fairly early and after spending time on the computer got ready for our day out. Hubby left just before us in the Sunbeam for his Tit Car Meet. Our first stop was Alberton where Diane got herself some black boots and a black jacket for work. Next stop was Alberton City where we took her cell phone in to get looked at as it has stopped working. While there we wandered around the shops looking at bicycles as Diane wants to get Travis one for his birthday. There was nothing worth getting so we left for Eastgate stopping at Julie with Diane’s things for the week ahead. She is only going through on Monday morning with Hubby so it was easier to take the things in advance – plus we have the weekend free without worrying about getting her things ready on Sunday. At Eastgate we booked our tickets for the Shrek movie before going to the Mugg & Bean for lunch. We had a delicious meal of wings and wedges for me and a wrap for Diane. She had a strawberry daiquiri while I had an iced coffee as I was thirsty and wine doesn’t help with that. We finished our meal in time for the movie which we both enjoyed. A light comedy is always good for a person! It was only half four when we came out so we went through some of the shops looking at bicycles – it is unbelievable what badly made bikes are sold – but found nothing suitable. Instead we went into Woolies for some stir-fry veg and a couple of lunches for Diane. It was nearly six when we left for home. Hubby had got home not long before us and had gone straight to bed as he felt ill with flu and a very bad throat. I dosed him up and Diane and I watched some TV before I made us a late supper. Hubby’s throat was too sore for him to eat. He asked me to phone Alex and let him know he wouldn’t be able to make his final Piston Ring Meet as a committee member, though they are keeping him as the Savva Liaison Officer still. I think he is the only one who doesn’t keep his mouth shut when it comes to matters affecting Old Car Owners.
Sunday morning I dosed Hubby again before seeing to the dogs. I was most upset to see how windy it was when I went out to see to them. The wind was whipping through the tree tops and there was dust everywhere. Most unpleasant. Late morning Hubby’s throat was feeling a bit better so I made him an omelette – easier to swallow than toast. Diane and I decided to wait until one so see if the wind would drop enough for us to go for our hike and watched Paranormal Activity while we waited for time to pass. What a lousy movie! I can’t understand why people don’t run away the minute something scary starts happening. I would have left the country if it was me never mind just leave the house. I can understand why Ali was so scared after watching it. Leith has forbidden her to watch any scary movies as she gets so paranoid afterwards and was convinced something had moved her shoe in the night. I’m sure one of them kicked it when they got up to see to Josh in the dark. The wind was still howling around at two so while Diane had a nap I read my book – am into reading Catherine Cooksen books I found that I hadn’t read before. Hubby was feeling a lot better after having a shower and seeing to his feet so at four Diane and I went down to Canterbury Arms for an outing. It was very pleasant sitting in the sun having spiced gold and coke. We ordered ourselves fried feta each and chips to share while we sat there enjoying our sheltered spot in the sun. It was about half five when we got home. Hubby was feeling rather hungry so I made him supper which he really enjoyed as his throat was feeling a lot better than it had. Diane and I watched some TV before she made us a late stir-fry – leaving some for work on Monday. She put the food into a container in the fridge with strict instructions to me to not touch it as she would take it out in the morning. Can’t say that I blame her.
Cheers and have a good week.
