Early

Uncannily similar to our optician, though he is always late for what he deems as a less than important date...

More baking for me today this morning, as well as popping out into town and picking up a few essentials, such as more doggy treats for ratbag and more human treats for the other pack members.

By the time I've rushed around town and the supermarket I've not got long before I get back home and unpack, have some lunch and then bake Phil some cakes since I'd promised him a batch. I have even less time after doing all that before Phil gets home early since we've got yet another opticians appointment today so they can do a pre-overnight check on his eyes before he attempts to sleep in his contacts for the first time.

We arrive at the opticians in plenty of time, however the same can not be said for the man we are suppose to be seeing since as we are walking down the opticians we see him walking in the opposite direction. We then spend the best part of 15 minutes waiting for him to arrive (that includes a phone call made by one of his collegues to see WTF he is). Shocking service really I'm half minded to write to boots and put a complaint in. Everytime we go in there we either have to wait for 15 - 30 minutes for our appointment to start or we get back chatted by the bloke who obviously took his customer service skills course at a BT call center.

When we finally get home Phil ponders about what he's going to do for the rest of the evening since he's home a good couple of hours earlier than normal and I finish icing the cakes I'd made earlier. We then have a debate on "icing: the correct ingredients for perfect fairy cakes" and I resolve that I'll make some different ones tomorrow to see if they are more to the liking of Phils more traditional icing tastes.
