One day at a time

On Wednesday I made my way to Nottingham by train to see family up there.

Final meal out and went with my dad and his friend Gwen to the Magna Charta. It was very quiet but the food was good.

Sunday afternoon, I took my dad to see the twin boys of my oldest nephew and was entertained by them, as well as well feed by Darren's partner and soon to become wife.

Took my dad to get a new microwave oven to replace his existing one. We also did a spot of food shopping too. My sister Janice and her husband came round beforehand to say so long before I head back to Melbourne.

The day wasn't that great weather wise so we went to an outlet centre near Mansfield and then headed over to Matlock later on. Decided I no longer enjoy driving in the UK.

Today started well but got a bout of diarrhoea so that put end any plans for this evening. 😢

After shopping at Morrisons, Dad and I went for lunch at Timmermans Garden Centre. It was a good feed.

Got treated to lunch from Dad and his friend Gwen at Tree Tops Gastro Pub in Mapperly. It was a good feed and that's the second time that I have enjoyed the Hunter chicken.

Done little today, going to Pauline's later for supper.

The day started well shopping and coffee, but ended less so with a damaged car and a bout of diarrhoea.

Went into the city centre to catch up with my sisters and we went shopping as one does in the centre of Nottingham. It was another lovely day, if a little bit cooler but still warm enough for shorts and t-shirt.

The train was late getting into Nottingham but no issue picking up the car. I'm surprised how basic UK cars feel compared to their Australian versions. I have a Jazz and there are no reversing tool, built in GPS or connectivity with Apple or Android. Dad is well if a bit skinny and it's good to see him. I've been shopping for food I can eat and unpacked.

Ate and slept well at the Premier Inn, and I have never seen such a busy hotel restaurant, lucky that I booked for a early sitting. Everything went smoothly leaving Gatwick and currently on the train to Nottingham. Changed seats to get a bit more room and to be able to watch my case.

Dropped the car off and waiting at the train station.

Went to dinner with my sisters and father to local pub. Meal was good.

Change in the weather, rain and a lot collect today. Went shopping which my Dad always does on a Wednesday.

Visited my oldest nephew, his partner and their twin boys.

Went to Timmermans Garden Centre for tea and cake on my mum's birthday 🎂

First journey into Nottingham CBD or as the locals say "going to town".
