Just a regular Friday

heleninwalesIt was just a usual Friday morning. A visit to the supermarket to do the Big Weekly Shop -- except that this Friday it wasn't so large because I did a fairly big shop on Wednesday. This means, I don't need to go into town again until Tuesday, unless I decide to go and see what's happening at the music festival tomorrow. I've not bought any tickets for any of the concerts, but I usually like to wander through the main square to listen to the bands that play there. That's free.
After getting the food, I left the car in the Co-op car park and nipped into the town centre to make an appointment to reinvest the money that's in our fixed rate saver account. Luckily we can go in next Tuesday. Our bank will be closed for a month during August while they refurbish the branch, so it will be good to get the account sorted out before that happens. I also need to remember to get cash out of the machine because that won't be working for a month. There are two other machines, but they're at the supermarkets and so often run out of money.

Point reached on journey: We camped by a stream, among stunted alder trees. The night was very clear and there was a frost. In the morning we set off towards the Weather Hills where we can see crumbled ruins in the distance.

Date: 2024-07-20 10:38 am (UTC)I do most things online and don't often use cash, so as long as the bank does re-open in September as we've been told, it won't affect us much. But everyone relies on the bank's cash point, so it will be a real nuisance having it out of action during August, our busiest month for tourists.
