Sophie had asked us if we could go and do some shopping for her, so we decided to head for Aldi at Overstone. However, as we neared the supermarket, it was obvious it wasn't open, and there was a fleet of white vans in the car park. I was annoyed because I thought it was the most convenient place to shop, so we were forced to go to the Co-Op in Moulton instead.
Sophie wanted nibbles for tonight's visit to Laura, so we bought hummus, breadsticks, little mini Scotch eggs and chicken bites. With a bottle of Cava, it came to exactly what she'd asked me to spend! We headed home, had an early lunch, and I pootled about until midday.
I went to see Mum and Dad in the afternoon and sat with them for an hour. Netflix was still showing, which surprised me as I'd had a nagging feeling that it would disappear again! We sat and chatted for an hour, and Mum showed me a box of old love letters from my Dad when he was away at sea in the Merchant Navy. She had been a bit confused the other day about the letters, saying that someone had found them in the car park, so I had no idea what she was talking about. It was great to see them safely contained within a tin box, and I urged her to lock them away from prying eyes. I also took a sheaf of bank statements home with me for safekeeping. I'm not happy that they insist on having them sent to the care home, especially as I can update them about their bank account on my phone!
I made my way home and did the usual Wednesday chores before Sophie arrived home a little earlier than usual. She went to see Laura at 6pm and Keith and I played cards in the kitchen before we cooked dinner.
I spent the evening upstairs watching television with Moon-Bums, who was amazingly affectionate this evening, sitting on my chest and nuzzling me like mad. It was lovely! Of course, Gomez was nowhere to be seen and wouldn't come in even though I kept calling him! He came in, finally, when Sophie arrived home, which was a relief!
