Busy Busy

It's been a busy couple of days this week. Yesterday Mum, Claire and I went and did the weekly grocery shopping. Our usual Monday morning trip to Sainsburys. Got home around half ten and then had to go back into East Grinstead for a couple of things. While there I popped in to see if there was any chance of getting my opticians appointment changed to sooner than next week. They said they could see me at 12.40pm so, no point in going home first and a good reason to go to Nero's for a coffee :o) By the time I did finally get home there was only about half an hour before Emily got back from school and the usual afternoon things took over. Had great fun doing Emily's French homework with her - she was in stitches at the way I pronounced things ;oD - did the trick though, she got 11 1/2 out of 12 in her test today!!
Today saw me going into Crawley with Mum, Dad and Hugh. I needed to get a top for myself and a cardigan for Emily, to wear to the funeral on Saturday. (We've got a fairly early start, needing to leave home by 7.30am as it will take us a couple of hours to get to Deal and the funeral is at 10am.) The weather has been quite chilly in the mornings and I don't want us to get caught out. Fortunately I found what I was looking for quite quickly and we had time to do Hugh's shopping and a bit of browsing. We had lunch in East Grinstead when we got home and again, back to the house shortly before Emily was due home.
I haven't had a chance to do the last couple of days layouts - the preparation is done but I haven't got the photos printed off yet. I'm hoping to finish them tomorrow but may be taking Dad to Crowborough hospital for a check up around lunch time. Will find out for sure in the morning. Keep checking in and I'll post as soon as I can.
A photo for today ....

This is what Tom thinks of all the rushing around I've been doing - he'd much rather stay nice and cosy on the couch in the lounge- out of the cold wind!
