Yesterday evening Darren didn't get home until gone 6 pm, we had thought about going to Sainsbury's to eat, but the parking on the street was ridiculous so we walked down to a local cafe instead. It was a lovely evening so we went for a stroll in the park afterwards. The island was open and Darren hadn't been on there before, he really liked it as there are some unusual trees and it is so attractively laid out.

He was quite good humoured about me taking his picture - well, he is used to me and the camera! The view from the pagoda looking across the waterfall was nice in the evening sunlight.

We walked round the island passing the bottom of the waterfall. The ducks by the little windmill looked cute.

This morning I stayed in doing boring sorting through boxes and drawers, I have some stuff to take too the charity shop and some for the community base. I decided to go to the pool and see what it is like on a Sunday lunch time. Still lane swimming, but less people so a bit better than Friday, although I will never really enjoy going to the place, but will try and swim a bit more regularly again. I walked down to have a look at the sea after, there were some people learning surf boarding.

Then I went into the park and a band from Pickering were playing, so I had a cup or tea and watched them for a bit.

I have a second hand Wii her to see if I want to buy it. No box or instructions so Darren came up to help me set it up. We eventually got it going and I have tried a few things, very badly, but it is fun!
