I was looking for a cheap(ish) pair of walking trousers and came home with two!
In this month of excessive heat, I’d grown attached to a pair of walking trousers, lightweight Brasher ones I got in a sale in Tiso a few years ago. I’d forgotten just how comfortable these trousers were and also how versatile with a multitude of pockets of varying sizes.
We drove over to Tiso and only after rummaging around all the expensive ones and rejecting them because they didn’t feel as comfortable as my old lightweight Brashers did I eventually find only two pairs of Brashers in the bargain bin. One pair were size 30 (too small) and the other pair were size 40 (too big) . No Goldilocks trousers for me from Tiso.
Scamp stuck the address for Go Outdoors into the sat nav and we drove over to Coatbridge. There they did have exactly the trousers I was looking for and in two colours too. Nothing dramatic in the colour scheme, just either black or brown. Scamp suggested that it looked like the trousers were being withdrawn, I should take advantage of the cheaper price and buy both pairs. That seemed like a sound investment, so that’s what I did.
Now I just need a decent pair of trainers to complete my ensemble or maybe I should just be grateful that I’ve got a pair of trousers that look like they’ll fit me.
Drove home and Scamp made chicken and mushroom pasta for dinner. Usually my creation, but on this occasion, I let her have her head and she did produce a good filling meal.
Spoke to Hazel later and heard that Tilly’s leg seems to be ok after her x-ray which is a weight of their shoulders, and Tilly’s too I expect.
PoD was a sunset, taken from the house. I was quite impressed with it.
No plans for tomorrow as yet.
