I am getting blogging lazy- so three days at one shot


On some days we do a lot and on another not much and so its good to save it all up and give a report covering a few days and it makes it easier for me as I don't want to spend all my life on the computer whilst on holiday when I could be sitting outside in the sun.
Monday was a quiet day around the house with the morning walk along the White Marsh Lane before breakfast, we do this first thing as it can get to hot later in the day. Then some swimming and then a light lunch and evening meal with the odd glass of plonk followed by an evenings TV, all quite a nice way to spend the day really.
On Tuesday we decided to go shopping in Port Charlotte and as Noel is looking to change the Apple I-Pod which is and has given some hassle of the last few months decided that a trip to ‘Best Buy’ might be worthwhile and also Jennifer is interested in getting a couple of long relaxing dresses for the cruise and so of we toddled to Port Charlotte.,. We spent some some in the large electronics store and they have a section to help with issues called the GEEK SQUAD, but it tuned out that you have to book an appointment for them to help you and so we made an appointment for Thursday, see separate Blog, We then toddled of the the Town Centre Mall where we had a Subway sandwich lunch and Jennifer did a tour of Beales, J C Penny and Dillards looking for the long summer dress but all of the stores seem to only have separates which are no good but some further visit is required. Noel is also looking for a Haircut and the only shop in the Mall could not do it for about six hours and wanted 24 Dollars, way to much so we gave that a miss. There is an amusing sketch by Michael Mcintyre about the American use of words primarily for describing an article, I will try to link it, but we saw a typical example of this as per this photo. We have also seen in the past that you should not put your dog or cat in the microwave to dry it off!!!as there is a slight chance it might explode.
So during our walk around the Mall we happened upon these baby prams which you could bortrow which on the back was a small bag where you could pur say a handbag, but No there is a sign which you can see on the photo.
DO NOT PUT CHILD IN BAG
On Wednesday morning Noel went to the local Barbers, none of this scissor cut stuff but just straight over with the electric clippers, still it was all ok in the end.
We have now finished all the episodes of ‘The Crown’ on Netflix and we both agreed it was very good indeed. We do understand that they plan further episodes but skipping a few years so lets wait and see.
Looking forward to tomorrows visit to Best Buy to see what they can do with my IPod touch
