Bacon butties, hot Stratford shopping, Dr Who & NYR!

After a lovely sleep we were treated to bacon butties for breakfast today :o)

We then all hit Stratford to do a little shopping. The weather was gorgeous and it was really hot so I was not exactly in my element as I don't do heat. Orange shop saw mum walk away with a new mobile phone. Next stop was boots so that Toni could get an ankle support as she was getting some pain in hers (and had no real idea why).

In what could have been a fatal trip we then hit WH Smith and Waterstones in search of books! Toni, Sam and I all walked away with purchases but it was nowhere near as bad as it could have been as we are all book fiends!

Costa became a sanctuary as we enjoyed their fantastic air conditioning and coffe/tea and cooled off a bit. It was to out amusement and annoyance that we discovered that their gluten free chocolate brownie was listed as containing wheat! Now that WAS a mystery. Toni registered a complaint and will be following it up!

Our final stop was Games Workshop where more money was spent than had been originally planned with Toni starting her Dwarf army and me boosting my Dark Elves. Sadly for Sam the new Tomb Kings aren't out for another two weeks so he has to wait.

Fantatsic entertainment was provided with the first episode of the new Dr. Who series which was really good and had us all shouting "Noooooooo" when the cliffhanger arrived. A really strong start, let's hope they can keep it up for the rest of the series!

Dinner was a home made Greek meze and then we sat around and read and I watched Game 5 of the New York Rangers v Washington Capitals series. With the Capitals leading 3 - 1 in the series the Rangers HAD to win this one. Sadly in traditional New York style they managed to completely choke on this game and ended up losing 1 - 3 meaning that the play off dream is over having lost the series 4 - 1. BAH HUMBUG! Think I'll choose the Capitals as my backup team for the next round!
