Day 22. Another Exploration!

My idea of going to the pool is scuppered by the weather.  What started out as not a bad day, seemed to be changing.  It was now grey and quite windy.  I decided to adventure to the supermarket on my own.  It's only across the main highway.  Clive gives me instructions on crossing the road - we both end up bursting with laughter!  He genuinely said " well Di, you would tell your children the same thing".  I was just helpless!  He means well and is such a stickler for precision.  Working in security, although his area is cyber security, he sees every possible area that is dangerous and a security breach is possible.  I even have detailed instructions of how to go the the laundry room. - about 20 yds away.  I must check inside before I close the door and always keep the door shut at all times-  although it is so hot in there!   I know he says America is a different ball-game from Rimpton! - He is so right!

I enjoy my trip, although as usual bought probably quite a lot to carry.  I was so surprised two men asked to help me carry my bags -  little did they know, they would have to carry them home for me! Everyone here drives everywhere.  The first time we went to the pool, Clive asked if I wanted us to drive there.  It's about 500yds away!

Spent the afternoon watching an episode of  The History of Jazz.  It's so interesting.  This was part two, about Louis Armstrong.  It's a great series.  Clive has the DVD s, thought Tina & Dave might enjoy watching them.  They love music and also history.

I am struggling to get these photos onto the blog.  Clive says I should write the instructions down.  I wish I could, every time I get one on, it's seems to be just luck!  Couldn't tell him how I did it.  He just laughs at me!!  ( Dave will understand!)
