Bank Holiday Weekend

A longed  for  three-day weekend where  we've  taken it  easy as the  weather's  not  been  brilliant 2 but  still  manages a fair bit.
On Saturday Vera had  her  ballet as  per usual  and  on the  afternoon  we did a big  shop  and  chilled at  home.
Om Sunday  we headed  into  town  for a bit  of  shopping,  mainly  for  Vera  as tends  to be the case  most of the  time!
We had a great  lunch  at  Zizzi's in Leopold  Square and in the  afternoon  I dusted  off my  sewing machine and  made  some  cushions  for  downstairs.
Today  we headed to  Ikea in  Nottingham,  alongside  half of the local  population.
At  least  we were  early!  We power  shopped  (!) and  picked up fabric,  the  usual  house  stuff  and  an outdoor bench,  my  birthday present  from mum and dad.
Considering  it's a  40 min in  each  direction,  we didn't  do  too badly  and  were back  home  again  in just  over  three  hours.
After a  late  lunch,  Vera and I  assembled  the  bench,  a great  lesson  in  reading  instructions,  patience  and  being  Swedish!
Mark  was  busy  in the  garden with  his  new  raised  flower  beds.
I then  made a cushion for my  bench,  really  pleased  and  look forward to  many  sunny  mornings with a  book and a  cup of coffee
