Knutsford Boot Sale

Pleasant day for a boot sale despite threat of thunderstorms. Luckily they didnt arrive until the afternoon. The annual scouts boot sale on the Heath was well attended as usual with well over a 100 stalls/cars. Got a few bargains including some fine line pens which are always useful and fraction of the price you would pay in the stationers. Some eclectic DVD's including Bal and Rome, Open City and Come and See. Hazel found some plants, a wire milk crate, candles, a brooch for her sister, tin toys etc. We were happy with our purchases. We picked up Audrey on the way home as they are going to the hospital later to visit their Mom who was taken in yesterday with suspected sepsis. Thankfully it's not that but a similar infection and being treatd with antibiotics. They are keeping her in for a couple of days to keep and eye on her.

Indoor Boot Sale

Nice wander round the indoor boot at Memorial Court this morning. Got a few bargains including an old Radio Fun annual to cut up, cigarette cards, card game, candles, postcard, slides etc. Mostly it was Xmassy stuff - old plastic toys etc. Hazel's eeye is improveing after a worrying time - rushing from one hospital to another to get laser treatment for a detached retina. Amazingly quick prodedure. 30 minutes and we were phoning for a taxi back home. Nice Moldovian taxi driver was very chatty. That's the 5th time we have been to either A&E or outpatients this year so hopefully not going again for a while! The NHS are wonderful despite all the cut backs. Vote Labour and save it!
