Birds and a trip out

Well the birdwatch was a wash out - we have had heavy rain all weekend so not a bird to be seen in our garden! We still made ourselves go out yesterday and today for a walk to get some fresh air and exercise but we got very wet.

The great excitement this morning was a trip to our nearby market town.  I do a weekly shop in Aldi but there are a few things that they don't stock so I have a list going and  every couple of weeks we have a trip to Asda. You would have thought we were going on a major shopping trip by the girls excitement! They all had lists of bits they needed - school stuff, toiletries etc. I got all the things on my Asda list then got water filters and bird food in Wilko and a take away coffee from Greggs. What a treat! The downside was that we got drenched.

This is my latest read which I'm really enjoying.  I'm sure a blogger I follow recommended it by I cant remember which one.  D has a couple of books to collect from the Library so I shall probably book a slot to collect towards the end of the week so that will be another chance to leave our village and combine it with a walk/scooter around a different park.

Well there is a dinner to cook so bye for now.
