On Friday the weather got a bit better but not by much. My shoes started leaking and I did end up looking like a drowned rat at the end. Met Pete again, this time in the Basketmakers which is yet another pub that doesn't change. Long may this last - AMEN!! I had my usual and he had steak. Then we walked to Argos and I managed to buy a couple of cute In The Night Garden toys for Callum. Then Pete went to do his shopping and I started walking back. Finally I decided to give up trying to find any more second hand Reginald Hill books and bought 4 new ones. Steve, the kitchen fitter, was gone by the time I got back, but I took the photos above of the kitchen. He got to this state in 5 days which is pretty good going I think.
On Saturday the weather was absolutely brilliant, but I stayed in as the cooker hood might have come, but eventually it didn't. Also, I haven't seen Callum for two weeks, so I had a chat with him on Skype, which was good. I finally managed to find some In the Night Garden videos on YouTube and it was really sweet. I also looked up their web site and learnt what it is about. It is made by the Teletubbies people and it is just as good. Not only cute, sweet programs, but the people who make it understand what very small children need: laid back, repetitious, loving and secure little stories, songs and characters. It said on their website that it is about people who care for each other and have fun. That really describes the little monkey in Toronto, that's for sure.
