day off – The Windsor Waffle

Mixed bag of a day

Hello. I’ve had the day off today. It’s been a mixed bag. Life is still very much revolving around my parents and I still need to ring my Dad tonight. This morning I talked to my financial adviser for about an hour about paying the enormous costs for my Mum’s care. It’s very tricky asContinue reading “Mixed bag of a day”

Love a bargain but a freebie even more 🤩

Hi everyone. Those of you who know me IRL (in real life) will know that I love to sniff out a bargain offer. It wouldn’t matter how rich I became, I love the buzz of playing the game, beating the system and getting a bargain.

Feeling a bit sorry for myself as last month I had also taken a day’s leave to meet upContinue reading “Book and snacks of the day”

Beautiful pumpkins, new Aldi supermarket, wonderful trees

Hello. I am quite in love with the pumpkin on the left. I grew it myself. It is so smooth and round, the weight of a new born baby. I have watched it steadily progress from green to orange on my kitchen windowsill over the past few weeks. Maybe we will eat it soon. IContinue reading “Beautiful pumpkins, new Aldi supermarket, wonderful trees”

One day holiday in Windsor

Hi everyone. Look at this blue sky! Windsor is marvellous today. I’ve had the day off work. There has been cycling, swimming, coffee and catching some rays of the sun, photo taking, browsing in the shops, lunch with friends and relaxing at home. Here are some pics from my stunning home town today. I likeContinue reading “One day holiday in Windsor”
