Easter - why??

Easter Egg chocolate is rubbish. And I have some to eat. This is not good. Although, Phil bought me a nice little fancy looking egg that might be made of nice chocolate. Not sure I want to eat it though, as disappointment may ensue.

And there were children around. Phil discovered he can still operate a hula hoop, to entertain at least one child. I discovered I can't, which is almost as entertaining. On the other hand, I discovered that my newest niece likes me and doesn't insist on throwing up on me. Although what is it with babies farting all the time? When you're holding them? It's not pleasant.

I also have sore feet. We thought we'd go for a nice walk yesterday. Guessing the distance on Google Maps suggested it was about 6 miles. But that might have been underestimated by a couple of miles. But at least there was a little village pub to stop at half way. Mad landlord, possibly a bit desperate for customers. (Too friendly, coming outside to see if anyone wanted anything else before the pub shut. At 2.30 in the afternoon). It would appear though that we walked "almost too far". And that I crossed the line into "too far" while walking to the bathroom and back during the adverts in the middle of Heroes (very good programme, and a particularly good episode last night). That would explain why a large blister appeared at that time.

And the freebies still keep coming. I've got the new Mission album ordered (with Nectar points, because they're selling all CDs for half price this week). Still 3 weeks to wait for that to arrive (mind you, it's about 5 years since their last proper album). So that's another £7.99. And another 5 quid Amazon voucher my mum owed me. So the grand total so far is £129.96. And 45 quid of that is in my Amazon account. I think I need the prices of things to come down.

Should get another 30 quid of stuff sometime, from sorting out dad's car insurance. Check various companies, making sure to do it through the right website first and get 30 quids worth of points for me. And save him money on his renewal quote. But why, after purchasing the insurance, do they then offer to send you large print or braille versions of the policy? Might they not want to know that first, on the grounds that anyone needing braille versions of their car insurance policy details probably shouldn't be driving in the first place?
