Day 18. Wednesday 13^th June, 2007.

We – Mum, Rosemary and I - spent the morning in Southampton, firstly at West Quay, then, briefly at Above Bar in British Home Stores, and finally in Debenhams in a fruitless search for a lightweight, greenish, long sleeved casual jacket for Mum. Not many suitable jackets to choose from, and none that fitted well enough. Then back to Linwood Close where Rosemary cooked us a super mushroom and bacon omelette. A bit of a rest after lunch and then we all went to Waitrose for a little shopping. Then back to Marchwood where Jane had just got home and Remus was hard at work grouting the floor tiles in the conservatory. Rosemary made some curried chicken and after a little TV we had an early night.
