I wanted to stock up with new socks as mine have stiffened with washing and age (know the feeling)! Also got a mindfulness puzzle book which I had seen advertised. A nice mural inTheProspect Centre, shame about the barriers!
I had arranged to meet Tina near the war memorial, so made my way there.
We had a very nice lunch at a small cafe we went to once before, then Tina had banking to do and after that we walked to Princes Quay. We had a good browse in the vintage clothing shop but weren’t tempted. Then we went to a linen store that is closing down andI got a new fitted bed sheet and Tina a duvet set and some extra pillow cases. While Tina was in the card shop I stood by the railing and took this picture!
We had a drink and cake and near the cafe there were people giving out boxes of lateral flow tests so we stocked up! Then we saw the most bizarre vending machine we have ever seen!
You really couldn’t make that up!
In the water outside Princes Quay there are some big fish.
We made our way back to the car park where the car had been charging for a couple of hours and then headed home.
Just pottering this evening, may get in the garden for a bit tomorrow afternoon.
Always nice to have a trip to Hull, specially on a nice day. It was good you got to do the initial hearing test there and then. You can’t have many more body parts that at are wearing out now! Maybe you won’t need hearing aids….WHAT? 😄
ReplyDeleteThese days it’s probably cheaper to buy new socks rather than spend the money on energy to use the washing machine.
I can’t really see the point of those barriers in front of the mural. They’re not exactly going to stop anyone touching it, or adding extra bits to it.
That certainly is the weirdest vending machine I’ve ever seen. I really can’t imagine there are many people that need to buy fake eyelashes in an emergency when the shops are closed! Well I never.
Sounds like a nice trip out altogether. Lunch, cakes, shopping, perfect…..PARDON!
I really like Hull, and I don’t even find the bus journey in a problem anymore.
DeleteTina got things sorted too so a successful trip for both of us. If I do end up with hearing aids I will probably forget to wear them on family sessions!
That’s one great thing about hearing aids, you can turn them off 😄
