Hi-jacked!

G is now a blogger!
Friday, I worked my socks off cleaning & polishing everything in sight & then went to Kenilworth to shop, for a change. It's a pleasant drive & about the same distance as Solihull with nice little shops & a good Sainburys with free parking.
JS had sent G a "burthday present" of a voucher for a box of chocolates, again, which I collected. Why don't they send me a pressie for my birthday since I'm the customer - G never darkens their doors.
We went to "Cineworld" in Solihull & saw "Vantage Point" - an attempted assassination of the US President seen from a number of vantage points.
Good, not great.
We had a portion of fish & chips from Coleshill on the way home as G was not hungry (I was!), consumed with a bottle of chardonnay.
I liked Cineworld, G did not.
It is like a small Star city but less threatening, with an integral car park.

Saturday, we went to Solihull for G's appointment at D & A (opticians). I had half an hour to shop then we went to Bromsgrove to collect a part from Paul Matty, for the lotus.
G was so long in the spares department that I sold two elises whilst I was waiting for him.
Could this be a new career?
I was considering becoming a central heating installer as I find that I have a natural bent for boilers & valves - last weeks episodes involving British Gas were highlights of my retirement.

B,E T &KP arrived at tea-time.
B was delighted with his apple peeling & coring machine that we brought back from Denmark.
B & E went out for a romantic dinner, we had shepherds pie on the settee, followed by coffee cake.
G has a sore thumb from over-use of the Powerball. I hope that his muscles build up with some haste otherwise life could get ugly.
He is encouraging me to "have a go".
I think that two sore thumbs in the house is enough for one weekend!
A big family Sunday lunch tomorrow;; well - hung ribs of beef.
I may ask B to make the yorkshire pudding as his are brilliant, much better than mine, of late.
