Ooh, make up in Boots. I could do that. Smile. Brian, I was born in Hull. Where are those lovely independent shops?
Newland Avenue is lovely for many coffees and cute shops

I’m going to the hairdressers for the afternoon. My roots need doing and the split ends sorting. Reckon need a couple of inches cutting off and then a lovely bouncy blow dry.

@SpeckledyHen

I’m not sure if the covered market in Oxford is open on Sunday’s ? Anyone know ? I’d like to pick up some cheese , soap and flowers.

If not I’ll take a walk around Jericho and stop for lunch at Brasserie Blanc if I can get a table . Might be lucky enough to see Raymond ❤️

Should open at 10.

I'll stop by at Ben's Cookies, then DD and I are heading over to Next in the Westgate to buy her some clothes. Lunch will be a great big pizza between the two of us, then off to Waterstones where she can look at and touch all the picture books she likes.

I would rinse my credit card in a Waterstones after consuming a grande white chocolate mocha with whipped cream as I read a newspaper left by the person who was there before!

Does anyone mind if I take a sip of their cocktail to see if I like it before I commit?

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 30/01/2021 22:22

Well. I'll being going out (again) with my two metre bamboo stick with a paint brush lashed to the end and 'dobbing' paint on anyone who I feel isn't keeping their distance.
I will, of course, apply this rule to dogs, cats, policemen, badgers etc.

I’m coming with you to the spa day, love the thought of a bit of luxury.

purpleme12 · 30/01/2021 22:25

I would love to
But I'd go to Dorothy Perkins and I've no idea what I'm going to do now for clothes for the most part 😭😭

@HuggedTheRedwoods I love a train journey. When it's for a day out, it's so relaxing. Shall we go first class?

I won't join you as I will be too busy relishing our local park which will suddenly be totally empty again. Grin I'll also be gearing up for the return of parkrun, which I have missed dreadfully.

I work in a theatre. First drink is on the house!

Goodbye2020Hello2021 · 30/01/2021 22:26

Oh... The cinema! I also want afternoon tea...or Wagamamas, or Hard Rock cafe...I want to go to Waterstones, have my hair done, maybe gel nails on my feet...

I am going to Cheshire Oaks with two married daughters, arrive early do some shopping, stop for a cheeky wine in Cafe Rouge, book a table for lunch, some more shopping, then a boozy lunch, then more shopping, back to car a diet coke from McDonalds on the way out then home with a car full of exciting carrier bags.

Averyhungrycaterpillar · 30/01/2021 22:27

Can I come? I'll come for cocktails too before I go to a concert - I miss standing very closely to lots of other sweaty people (never thought I'd say that!)

Goodbye2020Hello2021 · 30/01/2021 22:27

Yes! Theatre in the evening...

Tummelthecat · 30/01/2021 22:28

And can we please all lunch together, inside where it is warm, round a big table. With lots of wine! And laughs!
