This afternoon I screwed my courage to the sticking point, cranked up
the browser and got out the plastic. The exchange rate is as good as
it's been for a while, no point putting it off any longer. Derrick
pulled up a pew and watched.
I bought the V&B Manoir *http://tinyurl.com/pguzn*
I bought 6 dinner plates, 6 side plates, 4 deep dinner plates, 6 soup
bowls and saucers and 6 of the larger dessert bowls. Dad gave me $1,000
for Christmas (I don't need money at my time of life but he's 89 and
buying presents is too difficult) which I promised him I'd spend it on
stuff and not just absorb it into consolidated revenue. It's all gone, I
can tell you!
No idea how long it will take to arrive. They promise to send me a human
generated email in the near future. Last time I bought something from OS
it arrived from New Jersey in 3 days!!! I think this might take a bit
longer which is fine so long as it arrives before we go on holiday.
Exhausted by all this, we took the dogs down the street to the new
Indian place for dinner. Rosie shamelessly made up to the waitresses,
who rewarded her with poppadums - we were eating at a footpath table,
you understand, it's a balmy evening.
