Not going to the little Tesco today.

I'm not going to the little Tesco again today because of the rain. My Mum is going to go instead (at some point!) I don't think she's got me a birthday present yet either. I hope she doesn't say what she did last year and say I'll get something later, you'll just have to have it late!
Last night, at around 10:00pm, a birthday card came through the letter box for me. It didn't have a stamp on it, so I knew it had been delivered by hand. I saw a cars headlights on outside so I went to the kitchen window to see if I could see who it was, but it was too dark! I'll find out who it was tomorrow when I open it!
This morning it had been raining, and the newspaper came through the door. When I came into the living room I saw it in the letter box and I went and fetched it in. My Mum asked me if it was wet. I said, Not any more, but..... The whole of the front and back pages were all crinkled where it had been wet. My Mum said she thought only the end of the paper would be wet where it was sticking out of the letter box, but the whole of it was crinkled, so the paper boy (or paper man!) had obviously got it wet before it was pushed through the letter box!
So today, instead of going to the little Tesco, I will be staying in and watching the telly!
What are you lot getting up to today?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day. ![](/Content/images/emotes/niceday.gif)

Yes, I always like to stay home when it rains.
It's dull here today but not raining (yet.) But it still feels warm. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

@LadyDuck It's a bit cloudy here, but the sun peeks out here and there. I haven't been out to see how warm it is out and I haven't checked my weather app today.

Same here. I don't think it's raining at the moment, but the ground is definitely wet. My Mum is going to go down town to get the stuff and she's going to get my birthday present at the same time. I've asked her to get me an aero too as a treat for my birthday!
I hope you can get everything done that you need to do. ![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbup.gif)

Thank you very much. It's my birthday today! I've written a post about it.
It's not raining here at the moment, but it's still a bit dull. I'll check my weather app in a minute before we go out to the big Tesco.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow, Shazza! ![](/Content/images/emotes/cheering.gif)
It’s pouring down here right now, and the rest of the week doesn’t look much better. Good job you have enough food in. I plan to do some shopping this afternoon, but I’ll be going in the car. Roll on summer.

Thank you very much, that's very kind of you.
Gosh, I know what you mean. The weather forecast doesn't look very promising for the rest of the week here too! I'm going for a birthday meal on Friday to the Jungle Street Kitchen cafe in town.
I hope you can get what you need when you go shopping. I hope you don't get wet!
It's supposed to be summer now, but I don't know where it's gone! I mean it was lovely and sunny yesterday and then all of a sudden it turns! ![](/Content/images/emotes/shocked.gif)

Perhaps , the rain and household chores would have kept your mother busy. Just be fine even if she cannot get a present. Sometimes, having a caring parent itself means a lot. I hope there would be some gifts as well. Well, for me I had a few chores to complete but then there are enough in my to do list. Rushing to complete things.Have a Great Birthday Ahead!

She has an umbrella incase it rains! My Mum said she was going to wash the towels yesterday but she hasn't done it yet. I did the other laundry, but Mum said she'd do the towels. This is why I do the laundry, because if I didn't it'd never get done!
My brother came round on Sunday with some presents for me! He put them in a bag but he didn't wrap them so I have to make sure I don't peek before tomorrow!
I hope you managed to complete your chores.
Thank you very much.
