Not going shopping today because of the rain.

I was hoping to go shopping today. I was going to go to the Vodafone shop to ask them why I can't vote for someone on Strictly Come Dancing, I was going to go and get a Start Art magazine from WH Smith, and I was going to get my sea bass, as well as Mum's stuff, from Iceland. But I looked at the weather when I got up in the morning, and it didn't look good. I looked at my weather app and it said rain. So I decided not to go. I have got 2 sea bass left in a packet so I'll be fine getting it next week.
So instead of going shopping today I will be staying home, watching telly, doing Mylot, doing a few surveys and maybe play a few games..oh, and I also wanted to listen to a bit of BBC Radio Wales on BBC sounds.
I will go and do everything I wanted to do today next week instead. It's 1 November next week aswell, so I'll be able to get some photos printed too. I can have 30 free photos a month with my loyalty card, and I usually go twice a month and get 15 photos each time. But I've had my quota for October so I wouldn't have been getting any today if I'd gone shopping.
My Mum has gone to the house group that meets in the Church. She couldn't find her boots so she's gone in her sandals!
What are you lot getting up to today?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day.

Yes it happens at times when the rains suddenly start pouring down and you can't do anything. It disturbs the entire routine. And you have to chalk out a new program for the day. But looks like there is some stuff of your sleeve even if you have cancelled going for the shopping. You have lined up alternative and looks like their are quite a few of them.
So how was your day finally? Did the alternative routine work for you?

Thank you very much. Yes, I hate it when the weather ruins my plans! Yes, I did do a bit of everything on my alternative to do list! 
Apart from not being able to go out, my day was fine. Yes, the alternative routine worked for me! In the afternoon I also filmed a few videos to put up on YouTube and I did some more in my Welsh exercise book. I was learning about the bakery and chemists!

@sharonelton Many times I make it a mentality to see that if the whether is cloudy and if there is monsoon season going on I know that my plans can be easily disturbed. So, I always keep an alternative plan or at least one more so that I can utilise my time if I am not able to go out.
So I think even if there were rains outside, your day wasn't wasted.
Wow, you also make videos to put on YouTube? We have discussed a few things in the past, but I wasn't aware of this skill of yours that you are a YouTuber. That is pretty good! Where can I watch your videos?

@abhi_bangal Yes, it is very good to have a backup plan.

We could use some rain here. I'm not doing too much today...working on changing email addresses and MyLotting. Tomorrow we are going to see my hubby. Have a good weekend.

@sharonelton It's thundering outside right now; but it doesn't look like the rain will reach us. No, I have a couple dozen problems that I will need to contact customer service to see if they can change the email address for me.

I hope you can get the rain that you need soon.
Haven't you finished changing those email addresses yet? 
I hope you enjoy seeing your hubby, and I hope he can come home again soon.
I did have a good weekend, thank you very much. Wynne Evans is through to next week again on Strictly Come Dancing!

@LindaOHio Gosh! I'm sorry about the thunder. I hope the rain doesn't reach you.
It sounds like you are having trouble with those email addresses. I hope you can get it sorted soon.

@sharonelton How rude of Vodafone to prevent you from voting. I went to Belfast today to take my daughter to the dentist and got to go to Sainsbury’s. I saw this cow just outside.

Yes, how rude of them! 
But I did vote for Wynne Evans 20 times on the landline last week instead!
That's a cute cow.
