A few nice nice cars with girls images I found:

52.31 – Sun? What’s that?

This is what I look like when I’ve been working indoors for 5 hours and I come out into bright sunshine. People are sitting outside pubs & walking along the riverside, some are even wearing short sleeves. It’s February.
I think beer gardens are what we have instead of café culture.

Hhhmmmmm. This week has been Kate’s half term so she’s been at home most of the time, doing homework for some of it. Grandma’s here, occupying the chair by the fire, watching antiques roadshow and wanting to make apple pies.

I’ve been working alllll week. Our new manager’s rather keen to change lots of things and get stuff done, I don’t know whether it’s the way she is or if she’s trying to make an impression. She worries about having just one or two of us on the lingerie department at a time (it’s rather small & in a corner) which is understandable as it’d be easy for people to steal things without us seeing, or for us to fall over or something, although at one point on Saturday there were three people from womenswear helping us out! The other thing is that she’s asked us why we think things aren’t selling & what people always ask for that we don’t have. (stick-on bras, support stockings, panty girdles, Sloggi crop tops (orderable), full length slips)

Hmmmmm. On Wednesday Mum, Dad, Grandma & I went for a day out. Mum & I had wanted to go to Bath but Kate would’ve felt left out being at home working and Grandma would’ve got bored sitting in cafés… So we decided to go to Ilminster, the logical choice of course!
Dad tried to drive us there via North Curry but the roads were all flooded so we went round the edge. We stopped in Muchelney to look at John Leach’s pots and ended up buying some seconds, another huge mug for Dad and a jug to replace the one I dropped
Then my crochet hook disappeared for a bit but eventually turned up underneath Mum. We stopped for lunch at a pub Mum & Dad used to frequent in Kingsbury Episcopi, The Wyndham Arms? It was rather nice & very decently priced. Dad got us all some very local cider & we played endless games of I Spy.
In Ilminster Grandma sat in the car while we wandered around & looked at the art in the Meeting House and the local shops, including Dyer’s Outfitters which is a wonderfully old fashioned shop with glass topped counters & good service and all the old ladies’ favourite things. They had a rather good parrot which was an advert for Pretty Polly stockings. Mum got some olives & Cornish Yarg from Bonners Deli/Butchers and Dad got lots and lots of leaflets about walks around Hemyock and the suchlike.
We came home via Taunton, where we bought a "backpackers’" air bed for Kate to take to London with her/general use. It blows up surprisingly easily & is nice & light (Kate went to London on Thursday/Friday to visit Anna)

On Thursday after work I went round to Amy’s house as she was back up from Plymouth for reading week. We hung about & had supper before going into Taunton for a drink or two (juice for me!). When we got to Taunton, at about 9, we tried to go to The Perkin. We were showing the bouncers our driving licenses and they refused Amy’s & said they’d already seen it that night. Amy showed them that she had her bank card too, complete with signature and they showed us where someone else had signed with Amy’s signature. It was horrible. Of course they wouldn’t believe that Amy hadn’t given her license to someone else to use & then had it back. She then realised that it must be her provisional license which she’d lost about a year ago & never reported as she thought it might be at home somewhere.
So we went to Mambo (where they let us in) and talked to their (much friendlier) bouncer, who advised her to report the old license missing so that anyone trying to use it would get it confiscated. (he also said that The Perkin should’ve confiscated it)
That was the most exciting thing that happened this week, it was a little scary as whoever has it may’ve been running around using it for the last year or so :s

My girlfriend Sarah calling her mom before we head off to Comic Con for Preview Night. You have to take care of these things in advance, otherwise people might call you while Adam West is autographing your chest. Comic book fangirls have it rough.
