I forgot to tell you.. oh.. she's SO reallyreally veryvery happyhappy (no exaggeration), for what did she find on the table outside Little Shed? Constance's sunglasses! They were just lolling about in the sunshine and hadn't got a scratch.. which is especially good as they are now fitted with her own prescription and cost a fair bit of money, even though it was Margaret who did them for her.
So that was more than enough to put a smile on the face of my Metal Tiger.. her Chinese astrological sign.
What other good news do we have for you? She had to go to the audiology dept to get new batteries for her hearing aids and then onto Primark, where she found Millie, new Malaysian gardening chum, and herself two great hats in Primark for £3.00 each. They've both got brims but are squashable so they can be, and probably will be, shoved into a basket and dragged about with no fear of damage.
Then onto see Dr. Katherine to tell her the good news about 'cracking' being 'stuck at the 9 stone 11lbs' weight, she had said that she wanted to see the book so had taken it with her and showed it to her and heard, to her horror, " but you aren't 5'7", you haven't been that for a couple of years, get over onto those electronic scales and stand up straight".. you DON'T mess with Dr. Katherine, she's well over six foot!
To hear "Just as I thought.. you're only just over five foot five inches (167cm), so your target weight needs to be adjusted. But I am thrilled for you and so too must be your knees, let alone your hips and back, keep up your good work and come back to me in about two months time".
She caught a bus immediately to the North End Road and headed for Dickinsons, our lubbly-jubbly butchers.. for now, she was badly in need of a treat! And Andy was cutting slices of it as she entered the shop.. "Cut me a slice too please but make mine a big fat one", she said, he was cutting steaks and steak was what she thought would do the trick for OUR supper, if you think I'd let her eat a whole steak by herself, then you're obviously a very new Dear Reader!
Some light bulbs and more soda crystals to replenish our stock were added to WW, along with a couple of bunches of fat red radish.. crunchy and hot! The perfect snacket for tomorrow together with a BabyBel cheese to eat on the train at 11.00am.
Train? Where's she going? Don't worry folks, she only going up to Romford, she's introducing Michele Jenner (Pewsey) to Valerie Ann Worwood and Michele has an aromatheraphy treatment at 12.30am tomorrow, Peter and she will go off into the town, eat deliciously unusual things and visit the museum.
A quick trip for her, onto the underground, straight through to Stratford, off the train, wait for the next one on the same platform and whoosh.. straight through to Romford.. easy peasy.
Car booked for Thursday to take her to Bethnal Green, she is NOT about to fiddle about with buses and the underground to go to her darling Angela's memorial celebration service and then onto the do at her favourite restaurant.. not dressed up to the nines she's not, that's for sure!
But what is that I have just heard? The whoosh of the boiler. Yes, folks, foul weather is forecasted for tomorrow and tonight will be no more than.. are you ready for this.. 5 degrees! Gulp! That's a bit chilly-billy, isn't it? Our asparagus will be keeping its' nose well below ground if it has any sense.
If it is grim, cold and wet, on Thursday she has alternative plans of what to wear.. she also pulled out a beautiful lilac and white suit.. Chanel used the fabric a couple of years ago.. she loves it, it fits like the proverbial glove and would be warmer than a glazed cotton dress and jacket, that's for sure!
So we are all set.. we are having an early night for she's getting up at 'Sparrows' tomorrow in order to have a 'full breakfast' in her tummy and be on a through train to Essex early as she'll be talking to Valerie about other stuff before the Jenners arrive.
PipPip.. more tomorrow!
