Still struggling with the ankle so Tina dropped me near town at about 9.30 am. How quiet the busy seaside town of Scarborough is early on a Sunday morning!

I was going to Debenhams as they have triple points on offer, but when I went into the Brunswick Centre found they didn't open until 10.30 am. Went and had a coffee and walked to the bus stop to check the times for coming home. No buses run on the route I catch on a Sunday, so looks like walking home, which is a pity. Got my moisturiser when they opened and a new handbag, as mine is beginning to come apart at the seams. Took my time walking home and had a rest before going down to cook dinner for Tina and I. But before that I thought I would make some rock cakes (as you know, sponges are definitely off the menu while I live here). When Tina and I were out yesterday I bought this little cookery book. Marked a one shilling, it cost me £5! But I used the recipe in there.

Didn't take a photo of the rock cakes and not going down again as stairs really hurt! But they turned out well and I am going to try some more of these very old a very basic recipes. One of the alliums in the garden is almost open.

As is this double headed tulip.

This antirrhinum survived the lack of a harsh winter and is looking good.

 A very lazy afternoon watching the French open with Andy Murray. Shame he didn't win but I am sure his time will come. The last Wallander tonight so I am looking forward to that. Tina said that I can take twice as many paracetamol than I have, so upping the pills and hoping for the best!!
