Tina had a meeting to go to today and it was a couple of hours travel each way. I went along for company and she dropped me off at Batley Retail Park. You can see Ikea at the back of the car park.

I have only been to an Ikea once before and will never go around one on my own again! It may have been in Batley, but the chaos was batty!! Having said that, it is November and the weather was lousy, I am sure it wasn't quite as bad the previous time I went with Tina. I did go in a few other shops as well as I was meeting Tina after about four hours. I forgot my phone, so we made arrangements the old fashioned way, naming time and place, and we timed it perfectly, just goes to show people can still make arrangements without texting to change things! I did buy some bits for the house anda toy rat to go with Goofy, a black one that Tina bought for me that last time!

We drove by Tadcaster on the way so now I know one of the places that Darren travels off to for work. The weather turned really awful when we returned, rather Tina than me doing the driving.

A couple of days ago Tina bought me a really cute little present, she knows I like to eat a few nuts every day and this is now the nut dish!

Nice cup of tea and Strictly now!
