My Jolly Holidays!

 

 

Hello Everyone,

This is my last entry before  I go on my hols on Saturday.  I thought it best to do it today in case I don`t have time tomorrow, so here goes:

This morning I went to Tesco`s even though I didn`t have much to get, food wise.  When I got there the place was swarming with police and the petrol station was cordoned off, it was obvious something major had happened but I couldn`t see anything and forgot all about it as I did my shopping.  When I`d bought all my groceries I decided to have a look in the clothes section where I bumped into a friend who works there.  She told me that a man had been stabbed in the store car park at about 6am.  Despite his injuries he managed to stagger into the petrol station where staff raised the alarm.  Apparently there was a gang of youths that were causing trouble and had to be moved on by security staff, then it happened and some poor man was injured, I just hope he`s going to be alright.

It`s been a nice day weather-wise,  very warm and dry, thankfully.  The forecast for the Weymouth area for next week is good at the moment so I hope it stays that way.  I`ve been washing, ironing and packing today, hopefully leaving tomorrow free.  I will have a few things to do in the evening as I like to leave the house clean and tidy for our return.  I also sorted out my wardrobe today filling two large bin liners with clothes for the charity shop, I didn`t realise I had that much stuff that I didn`t wear anymore.

Yesterday evening I went to the bottom of the garden with Jake and found that someone had thrown a half full bottle of Jack Daniels into my garden!  We know who the culprits are so Jim asked me to empty the bottle so he could give it back to them.  I`ve a feeling us and then are going to fall out at some stage..  Later in the evening Jake discoved a hedgehog in the middle of the lawn, he was having a veritable feast of the slugs that were there.  It did look funny when his curiosity got the better of him and he poked his nose into its prickles, he did get a surprise, though hopefully not the fleas that are ever present on hedgehogs.

Roman is standing for several minutes at a time now, he still only takes a couple of steps but it`s only a matter of time before he`s off.  He`s so funny, he stands watching CBeebies and dances in time to the music.  Maybe when I come back I`ll have some news about it. 

Tomorrow Jim and I celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary, I can`t believe it`s that long already, I don`t feel old enough....lol!  On Saturday night we`ll all go for a meal to celebrate, not only our anniversary but Kerry and Slava`s 3rd on Sept 10th.  Then of course there`s Kerry`s birthday on Sept 11th.  It`s all going on in the course of a fortnight.

Anyway, my friends, I`m turning off my alerts now.  I`ll read todays journals and possibly some of tomorrows but I have to go through my journal list for that.  Have a great weekend, take care and I`ll see you in a week`s time.
