Rainy day on our so called holiday at home

It has rained and rained all day. We did get as far as PC World/Currys big store in the outskirts of Torquay when the heavens opened. We looked at fridges and then tablet computers. This led to a disaster in the evening of buying a tablet computer for my husband online, one he had seen in the store but cheaper by £50.00. Well I can see this week is going to be wet, wet, wet so the money might just as well go on something tangible and what he wants (We would have to buy it sometime anyway and the money is available now). So I hope the fridge will work OK for a while longer.

Then we went and looked at a big pet store and bought the dog a new water dish that holds a litre of water in an upside down bottle and lets it out gradually and a food mat. Next door is a household store and we bought a glass oven dish to go in our new Halogen Oven. That’s like a big glass bowl with the heater in the roof. We are hoping that it will save on power. So far it seems quite good. I had wanted to go into Torquay proper but by now the rain was, to quote an old saying, stair rodding down so we went back via Newton Abbot stopping at Asda’s to pick up some nice food to cheer us up, pizza and nice bread. I bought a Bra and Phil bought some socks and then – we went home where it rained and rained and as far as I know is still raining.

Dog was not very sure about the new water bowl as she thought the feet on it were toys that she couldn’t get at. She spent the rest of the day barking at it but later did drink from it.

In the evening there was nothing on TV so we watched a silly film on a DVD we bought some years ago and never watched. What was good about it as far as I was concerned was it had George Clooney in it.
