Clematis armandii

I got down to Mum's early, Mum was up, dressed, Indie was keen to go for her walk. I made Mum's breakfast, then Indie & I did a quick lap of the heath, same distance just no stopping this morning.
I had to go to Tesco's to sort J's mobile phone problem. Mum came with me, the plan to sort the phone then go to Jack's Patch for a mooch & coffee.
What happened was.... I was third in the queue at the Tesco phone shop, one member of staff trying to deal with both customers. We waited half an hour plus, then another couple arrived wanting help. Another member of staff arriving at 11am. We went and did our little shop, then had coffee in the adjoining Costa. Went back at 10.50am 2 new customers, one being attended to. The extra member of staff arrived. Action! I had just explained hubby's problem, the Tesco guy went into his computer to get the account up on screen.... The store electrics failed. We were all sat in near darkness. The power did'nt return. We left the store along with everyone else, but we had paid for our shop, many of the customers had to leave their baskets/trollies. Chaos in the carpark. Mass exodus.
We drove back via BT to pick up warm pasties for lunch. Perfect!
I drove up to the hospital, explained what had happened to J. I have to take the phone back to Tesco's tomorrow morning for 9am IF the store has reopened. J has norovirus & being moved to a single room. I drove home in rain. It did'nt last long.
