HONEYSUCKLE
I needed to go to my bank to transfer some money to pay The Cat Ladies who are coming to look after Tino and Lily next month. I also wanted to go to Gateshead so decided to walk to the village, do my banking business and also visit my building society and then get bus to Gateshead. I mistakenly thought the bank closed at 2.30pm but when I got there at 2pm it was already closed... it actually closed at 2pm. Wanted money from cash point outside - that wasn't working. At least I had better luck at the Building Society and did what I wanted to do.
Then bus to Gateshead. Mooched around the charity shops. Actually bought something today - a very nice summery top for £2. Then a bit of shopping in Savers, Home Bargains, Iceland and Tesco.
Then to the cashpoint outside of Barclays. As I neared the bank I saw a customer coming out. It was around 4pm so I had assumed the bank would be shut. The door was locked when I tried it but was then opened by a member of staff who asked me what I wanted to do. When I told her she said I could come in and use a self service machine and she would talk me through the steps. So in the end I did manage to get the payment made to The Cat Ladies. And I got my cash too. Well done Barclays Gateshead.
While I was in Gateshead a message came up on my phone from Vodafone with a code for a free hot or cold drink at Costa Coffee. Luckily there is a Costa in Gateshead so I popped in there and got a bottle of diet Coke. I drank it whilst sitting on a seat outside. After yesterdays dull cool day we were back to bright sunshine today and it was very warm. So it was lovely just to sit there for a while with my cold drink and enjoy the warmth of the sun.
When I got home I sat outside on the patio for a while reading the free Tesco magazine.
Took my blip shot in the front garden. This honeysuckle plant just sprang up from nowhere a few years ago and it spread very quickly. Its rather unruly but the flowers are lovely so I just let it do its own thing. Thanks to BikerBear for hosting Flower Friday
