Today was Valentines Part II, and started at Costa McCoffee. I don't drink hot drinks, never have.....well strictly speaking I think I once had a cup of tea at my aunties house but that was in around 1989, so I wouldn't describe myself as regular drinker....so Jac had a Mocha Chocalata ya ya (oh yea)
Creole lady Marmalade...and I had 2 ham and cheese toasties.
I full admire the way that Costa is able to charge £2.85 for 2 slices of bread, a slice of ham and some cheese, so much so I had two of them....combined value around forty pence.....however, short of carrying a sandwich maker around, I couldn't have made my own on the move
We were off to town and for a change thought we would leave the car at home, so we went old school and walked to the train station. For those unfamiliar, this is the place where you can pay £3.90 to go around 5 miles....and people say petrol is expensive....our thinking was that with the extra money saved by not having to pay for parking, we would only be massively worse off for not driving
The purpose of our visit was to use the tickets Jac bought me yesterday to the Sea City Museum. I've always been quite interested in the Titanic, even before seeing Kate Winslet naked, so this was the perfect present. It was a very interestimg exhibition, slightly lacking in details about the building of the ship etc, but instead focusing on the lives of certain crew of the ship. All in all, very worth a visit, and it was also very interesting to see the old court room within the building....and the old toilets
We made a quick trip to the Apple shop, partly to get some headphones for a mate, but mainly because by using the Apple Store app, you are legally allowed to feel like a shoplifter by scanning and paying for the item on your phone and then just walking out.....you do have to make sure you have your phone with you though, otherwise you are actually just a shoplifter
We took the train back to Eastleigh and began the walk home, pausing only to take a picture of the best parking I have seen for some time
I imagine her last words as the collision occurred were likely to have been 'OH BOLL.....ARDS'
I don't want to say too much about what I did when we got home, as I'm waiting to see if Jac notices, but suffice to say it was a new experience, and not one I intend to repeat for some time....if ever
This was followed by walking back to Eastleigh, forward planning is the key, to buy two new smoke detectors. I noticed that ours was no longer working and a change of battery proved ineffective so I bought two shiny new ones and they are now living happily in our home
Tonight is Poker Night, the first one of the year, and it nearly didn't happen this time due to people pulling out later than a naive teenager. It'll be good to have some 'all in' action with the lads again, and lets hope we can get back to a more regular routine
I've trialled including some pictures throughout the blog today but I'll still include some at the end
Just one more thing, I think I've switched on adverts on my blog, I don't expect to get rich from them, but I just wanted to see how they would effect the page, so any feedback is appreciated before I switch them off again
So, pictures, a disgruntled baby, new foreign currency and a first look at our camping holiday for this year
Bye bye for now
