Bea day

[lathany]

I took the day off work today to spend some time with Bea as she had an inset day. We went out to Staines for a shopping trip and some lunch.

We usually do this in the summer during the long school holiday and go into central London. However, because of our America trip, we hadn't fitted it in last August. Central London wasn't as appealing in the cold, so we settled on nearby Staines. Fortunately, the temperature, whilst still low, was not the below-freezing level it had been earlier in the week.

The day included:

• Seeing a hearse drawn by two black horses on the other side of the road when waiting for the bus.
• Buying a sheep nightdress in M&S.
• The Body Shop (perfume, hand cream and lip balm).
• Accessories (scrunchies).
• Pizza Express.
• Bea falling over on the way home and bleeding everywhere (for the second time in two days) :-(
• A visit to the Ashford cake shop.
• Watching My Neighbour Totoro when we finally returned.

Apart from the falling over, it was a lovely day.

Ow. Wish Bea a fast recovery on my behalf.

(I still have to watch Totoro. For now I pretend I have.)

I have done. Also, Totoro is a lovely film.

Sounds excellent (apart of course from the injury, which I hope heals soon!)

Her wounds are all gradually recovering, thank goodness.

Ow. As a very fall-y over person myself Bea has my sympathy!

[lathany.livejournal.com]

I'll pass it on.

Sounds like it was a fun day, minus the injuries and bleeding.:-)

Totoro is definitely a film worth watching, even for adults.
