I've been down town.

I wanted to go down town early today because I wanted to be back by 12:00 noon to see Andre Rieu on Sky Arts, so I got up at 7:00am! I set off at about 9:45am. I usually end up going at around 10:30am so I was earlier. It was pouring it down with rain! I wore my scarf, my boots, my coat with a hood and fur lining and my purple gloves, which I think are warmer than my grey gloves that my brother gave me. I went as fast as I could round Stowe Pool, which is no longer frozen over, and got into town for 10:00am. Then I went straight to the Oxfam shop with my charity donation that I sorted out yesterday. Next I went up the precinct and it was really dull which means the lights on the giant reindeer where really bright and beautiful. You could see it all the way from the bottom of the precinct. Unfortunately I hadn't taken my tablet with me so I couldn't take a picture. I went to The Entertainer toy shop to get some presents for my little nephews from my Mum. She wanted something that would keep them occupied intellectually! And she didn't want me to spend more than £20 each. So I got a couple of build a robot things, rocking robot I think they're called. I think you're supposed to build the robot before it collapses. Anyway I got 2 of those for £14.40 each. So I also got a couple of other things. Little monster things that you irritate! It says on it 'Grab them before they grab you!' They were £4 each. So that came to £36.80 altogether. I payed for those and braved the rain again. My gloves were sopping wet already. After that I went straight to Iceland (the shop not the country!) and got some paella for my Mum and 3 lots of sea bass for me. (They were £5 each or 3 for £10) Mum wanted me to get some chocolate liqueurs for my step-dad but I couldn't find any. Mum had seen some before. She should have got them when she saw them. I then got some Hunters Chicken and Lamb burgers. My Mum wanted me to get some sprouts but I couldn't get them either. After I'd payed I put my hood up again and set off for home as quickly as I could. I was glad I put my boots on because there were some really deep puddles! I got home at 11:00am! My Mum was quite surprised I was back so quickly. I told her all about my shopping trip and what I couldn't get and I gave her her change and her receipts. Then I put all the frozen stuff in the freezer, and showed her the things I'd got for the boys. I was rather disappointed I'd missed Sean the sheep! I got my soup at 11:30am and after I'd had my soup I had a little vegan yoghurt. We put Andre on at 12:00 noon and that is what we are watching now. I've got my ready meal curry for tonight. How is your day going so far? I hope you are all well. Have a great day.
