Today I took Eden for her eyesight check and fortunately everything is fine so she won't need to wear her glasses anymore and will have her next check in 12 months time.
I had promised her that we would go to MacDonalds today which is something I haven't done for nearly ten years, but after coming out of the opticians, we had over an hour to fill before it was lunchtime so we went into the new Primark store that opened earlier this year.
The store was heaving which I suppose is only to be expected for one that sells such cheap merchandise. Some of the homewares were quite reasonable but I can't say that I was taken by any of the clothes that they had there, apart from some cotton pyjamas (I bought some for Eden for £5). It was obvious that everything was aimed at the young and fashion conscious and most of it looked as though it would only stand a couple of washes. It certainly wasn't for old dears like me who believe in having everything properly pressed and perfectly fitting with no frayed bits or threads sticking out. Then again, we went into Marks & Spencer a little later where they had badly crumpled tops made of cheap material, looking as if they needed a good ironing, but costing ten times more.
Anyway, we had some chicken thing in MacDonalds together with the usual fries and diet coke and I must say, apart from the modern decor, nothing has changed since the last time I went in one.
Tonight we are having pizza but this time it's home made and not a mass produced effort and I am trying out the pizza stone my daughter and the grand-children bought me for Christmas so fingers crossed!
