Well miffed actually
We ordered a new car seat for Theo, ready for their visit in plenty of time, 7th August, with a status of in stock and a delivery date of the 13th. Then it was moved to the 17th, now its a question mark.
So we have had to reserve a hire one, it´s not that expensive but just a hassle of driving 40 minutes to collect it then having to return it. It´s just the fact it was only ordered because it was in stock and the company are very backward in replying to emails grrrr
We were told about a new charity shop that had opened in Teulada, about half an hour away, so we paid a visit taking items to leave.
I was hoping to find some books for Theo, buying English books from Amazon.es is expensive, I was in luck, I found some board ones, a few simple Spanish ones, including first 100 words and various others with lovely pictures that we can explore.
16 books all told total cost of 1.60 euros
I spotted a complete wooden puzzle too for 1e, a push along truck and a soft play house
Total of 4.60, well chuffed.
Theo seems to be into bugs, bees and butterflies at the moment, ideal.
Now we just have to wait until the travel lists come out tomorrow and just hope we are not on them.
Just picked another 2 containers of cherry tomatoes, double to quantity of the ones in the photo, (forgot to take a pic), roasted, blended and made into Moroccan meatballs in tomato sauce. It´s the blend of spices that makes this dish, coriander, cumin, chilli, sweet paprika, garlic granules
Better go, some chores to do before the groceries arrive
take care

That's so annoying about the car seat, I do wish that companies would be honest at the outset. Some good bargains from the charity shop, Theo will have plenty of things to choose from when he comes. Fingers crossed that you're not on the travel lists. I've been enjoying my home grown tomatoes too, I had them roasted with fishcakes on Monday, delicious.
ReplyDeleteA couple of people have suggested it´s because it´s August and everything shuts down and/or the problem with delivery drivers. Whatever, at least we have the hire seat. Not on the travel list yeah! xcx
DeleteYou got some great bargains at the Charity shop - I am sure Theo will love them. Fingers crossed that your family can visit. I love picking raspberries and blueberries (and apples this year, for the first time) from the garden. they just taste so much better being home grown!

At the farm the surrounding hedges were always full of blackberries before they came to trim the hedges back, such a lovely memory of myself and the kids picking about 13lbs the first year, then it became a ritual, we had elderberry flowers and berries, sloes, so nice to have freshly picked produce xcx
