Grapefully Received

Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday. My mum bought me a fleece from M&S but I have a few and it wasn't really my style.

Just after 12 midday today, I got a call that ended up with a drop at Heath Hospital, Cardiff, so it wasn't far to travel to M&S at Culverhouse Cross, Cardiff to change it. I then looked around and settled on Italian moleskin trousers which fitted great. A little pricey at £35 but they were great quality for everyday wear.

I queued up to pay. A woman and her friend who had just paid came towards me waving a piece of paper, asking if I wanted a voucher for 20% off. Yes, please!!! Her friend then gave her 20% off mens clothes voucher to the lady behind me. I was then tapped on the shoulder by this lady behind me asking if I wanted her voucher as well to try and get 40% off! I had to explain that this probably wouldn't work. So many nice people about. A nice unexpected saving of £7 !

Just down the road from this M&S is St Fagans National Museum (free entry) and I parked near the rear entrance by The Plymouth Arms and had a stroll round to take some photo's. I got some nice ones, but like the one I've chosen as it shows grapes in the Greenhouse. I like the colours and shadows.

At 4.30pm I went for my annual eye check up (my father has glaucoma) and everything looks fine. I've an 'eye' for a good deal and on the way home got a Tesco meal deal for £10. They are emulating what M&S have been doing for a while. I picked up a nice old vine cabernet, and they let me have the more expensive sweet as they were all wrongly put in the 'Meal Deal' section, which I'd spotted!
