This one is not too grumpy!

I'm still coughing well and a bit fed up with it to be honest.
I decided I needed to break out today so drove down to Stockbridge for a wander. I was looking for something in particular so was in and out of the charity shops. I had to have a coffee half way as I needed to sit down!
Not having had any success, my next stop was our local Cancer Research shop at Davidson's Mains where, at the bottom of a large bin, I found what I was looking for, a toy camel!
There's not a lot of them around apparently. Josie loves the Dear Zoo book, and Ali thought it would be nice to get her a set of the animals involved. Some were easier than others but I was very pleased with my addition to her collection. (For those who don't know the book, the camel was deemed unsuitable as a pet as it was too grumpy)
My extra is of one of the windows in Stockbridge, not the best shot but a beautiful blue theme to the window and some nice items. The large aluminium bowl at the bottom was almost two feet long, quite a piece.
I had a rest when I got home! I'm very glad that I made the effort and went out though.
Josie is coming to stay for two nights tomorrow, a big thing for us all. I made her favourite sausage casserole so all is ready for her when I bring her back from nursery. They are still working overnight on resurfacing the road outside our house for a couple more nights. It will be good to have it finished but I do hope it doesn't disturb Josie tomorrow. She'll be sleeping in a front facing room. Thanks for the good wishes and apologies for my minimal comments at the moment, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
