Feeling my age.

My babysitter, Joel managed to sleep in at least four hours longer than me this morning,giving me the opportunity of popping down the Co Op for milk and a newspaper before he arose. When he did appear he found me huddled around the gas fire with Sadie as the central heating controls are in his room and remain on "manual" pending being set by Lynne. Today was overcast and very cold. 

Our trip to Halfords and The Red Lion was later than originally scheduled due to Joel's lay-in, capped by a trip to the florist for Mother's Day flowers. However, I had my first drink bought by Joel today, hence the blog title.  Lynne is due home this evening.
