After letting me sleep in yesterday until 10 am (10 AM!! I NEVER sleep that late), and allowing me about 30 minutes to wake up, Mr H & I were off to "do something". We drove to a suburb I didn't know existed, had breakfast/lunch, browsed through a second hand book store (6 books purchased!) then went to an antiques fair where all the kit there was extremely overpriced (for the most part) and depressing to look at (I used to have one of those! and one of those! when they were original! I'm not an antique!). While we were looking at some bits and pieces by the front door I turned around to say something to Mr H who had disappeared. Ten minutes later he showed up with two green depression glass butter dishes I had been admiring earlier. Then it was off to drive through towns I had never seen before, finally stopping at a place in the southern highlands which was full of bookshops & stores full of things you just can't live without. We did find a cook-shop that had some stuff I have been looking for and left with a cast iron frying pan. Hurray! Potato pancakes, here we come! Fried chicken! Corn bread! I'm gaining weight just thinking about it.
The day was sunny and warm, we came home with treasure & the dog has forgiven us for leaving her alone on a weekend day. All in all, a good result.
