We’re in winter mode!

And its only September……

The double glazing is back up the winter clothes are in the wardrobe and the fire has been alight every evening for the past week.

Yesterday we braved the awful weather to go into Bedworth and get the rest of the shopping. Only problem was the bus didn't turn up, luckily there was another bus 5 minutes later going to the big Tesco at the Ricoh so we caught that. Boy did it rain at least it bought the canal up a few inches. There wasn't many people braving the wind and the rain, think they were all like us tucked up in the warm.

Today it was back to Bedworth to go to the market hopefully to get Paul some work trousers. At least the bus turned up this morning and result we got the trousers. On the stall there was a nice Asian guy and a youngster of about 20. Paul asked the question “how much” £18 was the reply, “can you do two pairs for £35”  “no” now this is only 50p off a pair. The youngster was at this point getting a bit gobby so I said to Paul just buy one pair which he did handing over a £20 note, the stall holder got out a £2 coin for his change which the young bloke took and had the cheek to say “I’ll toss you for it”  “leave it out says Paul I offered you a deal on two pairs which you refused” by this time the stall holder had had a light bulb moment and realised that he had lost the sale of another pair of trousers. “Give us my change” says Paul and to his amazement the young bloke gave him the coin and said “just f*** off” how charming is that. We left the market and had a wander and found Bedworth to be a very depressed place I think the only thing going for it is the large Tesco and a decent sized Aldi.

The wind has been horrendous today but so far it has stayed dry although it is a tad nippy. If the wind drops tomorrow we will move.
