So finally the weekend and a very good excuse to escape the house was meeting up with my mum for lunch out on her name day.
But first I needed to get a bunch of photos printed for my Christmas journal.
No problem, I thought. I could try out the little shop at the end of my street that does instant photos.
Ha! Unfortunately plans had to change when the lady looking after the shop couldn't find the key to the Kodak machine and asked if I could come back Monday. The reason companies like Kodak invented instant photo machines was probably because people wanted their photos... instantly.
So I hopped on the bus toward town to meet up with my mum and do some window shopping (and hope that the tiny Boots there would have an instant photo machine).
We did some seasonal browsing:
Then hunger prevailed and we went for lunch, which included some very nice desserts!
Ma had Crème Brûlée, while I had sticky toffee pud!
After more browsing around the shops I hopped back on the bus and went homeward bound but carried on further to the next big town so that I could see if the Boots there had a Kodak instant photo machine which was up and running and waiting to print my photos!
And, thank the lord, it did.
So now I have at least seven days of my Christmas Journal that I can be getting on with. ;o)
On a side note, can I just take a moment to say that I never thought having a cat flap (even though I don't have a cat) would ever be a blessing.
Well, when my back doors got jammed by snow and ice, the cat flap provided the only means with which to remove the ice block (with the aid of a stainless steel soup ladle and a screwdriver). MacGyver would be impressed... Who'd have thought it, escape by cat flap! But at least my outdoor lights are strung up along the back wall now. Just wondering where we'll find my kitchen scissors that my dad put down somewhere, and which promptly disappeared into the snow. Will have to wait for the big thaw I expect!
