It's my last night at work now until friday. It's always a good feeling to know that it's your last one for a few days, I can put up with anything on my last night. Spoke to Sparky this morning who is in freezing cold Poland and is unwell following a dose of suspected food poisoning. Hopefully he will be coming home on Tuesday. I'm hoping that we can go to Ambleside on Wednesday, as I need some new walking boots/shoes for the holiday. My old ones are so knackered and are now letting in water. Those old boots have been round the world with me and I'll be sorry to see them go, but I can't be doing with cold wet feet. Also they have a really good pie shop in Ambleside. They do fantastic fruit pies, I think Sparky bought aboout 6 of them last time we went and stuffed them in the freezer. You can't beat a good hot apple pie and custard in the winter. We could have some tea out on the way home, it will be a good day. Hope Sparky is up for it and not too tired....
