Pizza!

Well, we've arrived safely, eventually. Several hours late, and having boarded the flight at Newark 3 times, we eventually took off just over six hours late, in the thunder and lightening and heavy rain. But, we made it to Chicago at 10.30pm and had to wait in the 'alleyway' for half an hour before we got a parking spot. Going 'Posh Class' was interesting, the first three hours or so of the flight from Glasgow was spent eating, which was nice. We could have had champagne, but I decided on a nice cup of tea instead. Actually, I had several nice cups of tea. Our steward was called Marcel and he had a very, very nice voice.

I visited the bank with Diane yesterday and the nice lady there gave me a free pen.  I've been to the supermarket where Diane gave me coupons to get money off some nice biscuits. I bought a few things for Mike and I, and I got a coupon to get $1 off if I bought two boxes of All Bran ... I'm just working out who would like a souviner of a box of Kellogs All Bran from the good old USofA. Any takers?  Today I got money off when I went to the pet store. It seems that 'extreme couponing' is fast becoming a habit!

Had Pizza, been shopping and have myself a new baseball hat.  Been to the local petstore and spotted lots of toys Lucy would like to have.  Raleigh is being a perfect pooch and has taken to both Mike and myself very well.  He escorts me around the house (hoping for sweeties) and likes to bark (loudly). We've been watching lots of wildlife, and I have some photos of the local chipmunk.

Anyway grilled fillet steak and twice cooked potatoes are calling ... along with a small bottle of wine that I bought myself yesterday. 

Will keep you all updated with our escapades!

Oh good stuff ... it's working again!

Well, haven't posted anything for quite a few days now cos I couldn't get this to load properly, but this morning it looks like business as usual!

Just sitting listening to Neil Diamond chatting to Chris Evans. Did you know that Neil Diamond's middle name is Leslie? Well, I didn't know until I googled him.

Have had a busy few days and met up with friends for dinner yesterday evening at The Original Hotel in Roslin. Have to say, food was pretty good and there was an excellent choice. Today we're off to Frankie and Benny's for lunch and I shall have my favourite pepperoni pizza ... roll on lunchtime!

Before that need to walk our Lucy Lu. Not sure if I should go to Bankton Mains or to head down to Cramond. Hmm decisions, decisions!

I also need to start getting organised for the Circle meeting on Friday and I'd also better send text messages to remind everyone. Looking forward to seeing Valerie and hope she enjoys the meeting!

Hope you're all still enjoying my ramblings... have a super day all!
