Morpeth Yesterday.
Hey,
.
I am up early again today but somewhat dissapointed to be met with these familiar dark grey skies and rain once more, especially after the promise of yesterday.
Everything is all go at the moment now that Big H is picking up a bit.
Because it was a nice sunny day on thursday, he decided to take me out to Morpeth for a run in the car.
.
It was warm enough to have the top down so we really enjoyed that a lot.
.
Morpeth is yet another pretty place, with every shop that you could wish to see on the High Street, along with suppliers of haggis, fresh veg and wet fish.
There were also lots of charity shops and I had a quick look in a few of them because I am always attracted by the search for something different.
.
I did find a couple of things.
This was something different in a good way.

….and this was something different in a crap way!

How can someone stand and let their dog crap right beside a sign warning them not to!
.
There is always the lure of finding something really retro, with a good label or unique styling, but unfortunately there is a lot less of that now that these things are becoming much more desirable.
It is still fun to have a quick look though!
.
We were not really there for very long, because we got back home before 1.30 pm, but it was very enjoyable indeed.
There is a road there, on the drive into the centre, which is outstandingly appealing at the moment because all of the trees are smothered in pink blossoms.
When I commented on this, Big H told me that when he was a boy the whole area had been a rubbish tip.
How great that with the proper application an eyesore can end up looking so beautiful.
I was inspired to take a picture for you all.

The rest of the afternoon was a really snoozy one, because it was all very busy and tiring for poor Big H, but I very much appreciated the change because it has been such a long time since we just got out and about for the sake of it.
.
Today is a hospital day again.
There is to be a meeting with a panel of doctors and specialists in order to decide the best way forward with the enlarged pituitary problem.
.
Then the weekend will be our lobster, and the same for yourselves.
.
Have a grand Friday,
J,x.
