DAY 5 - Half-way...
Mar. 27th, 2024 10:24 pmMy break is half over already! But last Friday seems like ages ago, and next Tuesday seems ages away, so I'm going to continue one day at a time.
Husband and I did some shopping up Park Road, today. I was going to head into town because I wanted red-skinned potatoes and Tesco don't sell them, but I remembered there's a Lidl up there and they do sell them. They also have the most adorable mini shopping trollies - presumably for children to use. We got the spuds and some more Easter chocolate for grandson #2 with a cute stuffed monkey in the box. From Tesco, we got a half-leg of lamb and Yorkshire puds and some other bits and pieces. The aisles of both Lidl and PR Tesco are wide enough to get the wheelchair round comfortably, which is a major reason for going up there.
The wind was stronger than I thought it was going to be and we nearly got rained on, but husband was glad to be outdoors, so I'm counting it as a successful trip.
I've parked the bathroom tiles until Friday, I think. Or possibly even Monday. I feel like I need a clear day with nothing else planned and I'd like to go to the Good Friday service. But I also wouldn't mind missing that, especially since Sunday's service is at the church at the top of Upper Parliament Street, which will require Timing and Effort to get to for 10am. Anyway, I traded the tiles for the fridge and kitchen floor, today. Remaining cleaning jobs are dusting this room (which is at the bottom of the list, priority-wise), the tiles, and the windows (would really like to get both done).
Tomorrow, I'm getting my hair cut! Judging by my PMs on fb, it's 6 months since I last got it done. I knew it had been a while but that sort of took me by surprise. Time flies, I suppose...
In FFXVI, I cleared out some more side stuff and a couple of hunts, and actually did some story :O I know! There's a plot here and everything - who knew?! I defeated the boss who shares his name with a legendary horse. He's just so smarmy and gives me the creeps - it's a particularly satisfying victory. Then the king showed up (even MORE smarmy and creepy) and we didn't defeat him. But he has his coming, oh yeah!
As an aside, I've been experimenting with the different Eikon abilities, since I have all of them thanks to NG+, and I find Odin's the least useful and Shiva's the most (Diamond Dust is AMAZING).
And I've just watched another film off my Tivo - 'Maggie Moore(s)'. I think it's about the lengths people will go to for self-preservation.
