Inglewood Market and shopping for swimwear
You might be wondering why I have put this advert at the top of the Blog but more about this later.
We had planned to go the Inglewood Farmers Market this morning and so overnight Noel charged the batteries of the camera to make certain there was enough power for photos and videos only to get there and find he had left the camera at home. Bit of shame really however it will mean we will have to go back next week and take them. To be frank we did a drive through as not knowing how large the market would be as a few years ago Weybridge announced a Farmers market and we duly went along and it had three stalls, one selling jewellery and another selling potatoes and carrots and I think the other was a charity but there there must have been well over 100 stalls.
There were many food stalls and for Noel it was a bit liking walking in to a Torture cell as there was really good looking fast food which would have tasted great but ruined his next few days so we abstained.
Prior to arriving at the market we stopped of at two Pharmacies looking for various bits and pieces and the Walgreen's and CVS shops, both huge shops, on the building it says Pharmacy but actual its about 10% pharmacy and the rest is everything from soft drinks to hats to newspapers but eventuality we got what we needed.
We stopped for an iced tea in an Engelwood coffee shop and shared a blueberry scone.
Driving back to home we went by the Car wash and so decided to have the car done, the lady said do you want 'The Works' well not having been here before I did not know what the works are and so she led me over to a board with a car wash menu but actually settled for the works. The car is now nice and clean .
Now back to the advert at the top, Jennifer has , as previously reported been looking for a new swimsuit but all, and I mean all, have padded bra's which she does not want and its to do with so called prudish America where you cannot have a non padded bra as your nipples might get cold and grow as in the advert above which was banned throughout America. B..... Stupid really
Some good friends of ours from the UK are arriving in Fort Lauderdale on Friday 8th March to join a Caribbean cruise leaving next Monday 11th March and we had said we might meet up but for us it would require a three hour drive each way and a nights Hotel but when looking a couple of weeks ago at Hotel prices were, to say the least, stupid eg £ 250.00 for a Hampton Inn or Hyatt Place and £ 800 for a Hilton so no go we thought. However after checking each day we found one we could afford and so we are having an early start on Sunday morning and drive to Fort Lauderdale, have a snack with them and then do a tour down via Hollywood to Miami Beach and the art deco area and then on to see the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables and finally return to Fort Lauderdale and have dinner somewhere. Should be good day out.
After the shopping I rushed back to see the Chelsea game against Kiev only to my disappointment found it was not being shown but we won 3-0 so suddenly and hopefully the team is turning around and Sarrie is getting his act together although there are still rumours of his demise. Time will tell and let see how they do against Wolverhampton this Sunday. Oh well off to sitting by the pool in the sun, life is tough but somebody has to do it.
