Misty haze before bright sun,

Over to Otley in rusty the van. The last few days have been hot, so going down the Otley Chevin revealed a beautiful valley filled with mist.

On arrival, having parked rusty the van we discovered that the sun was not yet out. Very cold around my flip flop area I found.

This was a quickie to Otley to get a dog bone and some 99p summer clothes from charity shops. Being west Yorkshire we never know what the weather will do. There is snow forecast for Monday.
This day was now turning into a fantastic day. The sun broke through quickly and once back home I sat on the decking and knitted some monster high doll dresses from charity shop wool. Today I am determined to learn to crochet.
The next day was fabulous too.....this was charity shop volunteer day. Father always forgets this and wants to come over to go to the supermarket.
By the time this fiasco was beginning..... I had long gone. This week I completely missed it!

Father had his car dinged by a van driver who backed out onto him in a supermarket car park.
This caused damage, but no clear description could be extracted.
 Van driver paid for repairs, and father had his car back polished a Shiny. So this week he came over in his car instead of the bus......Lee told him he should keep it all polished. Father mumbled about not a lot as a reply.
First this day he took his wife to work, calling in at the supermarket on the way.....after dropping wife in leeds, he came back along Kirkstall road. He does this the same speed, same way every time.
He parks up at home. Goes inside makes coffee, has a cigarette in front of Jeremy Kyle on the telly. Falls asleep for about half an hour. Wakes up....not knowing he has been asleep at all.....

Then this week he came back out in his car to park up at our house. He followed the bus he usually catches.

Lee and father then walk to supermarket. Do shopping. buy  a lottery ticket, buy Lee cigarettes even though he now has an e cigarette.(now abandoned)  Put shopping back into trolley and wheel it back to house, along the road.
Park trolley behind car.......
Drink coffee and have emergency cigarettes

Monza dog sits knowledgeably as Father tells him all about what he has done in the week. This is very charming to watch as Monza never takes his eyes off father,...lowers and raises his head as the story unfolds and his ears go up and down too. then when he comes to the end...monza puts his big hairy paws on fathers shoulders and licks his face.
