Yesterday I popped over to Gosport with my Aunt and Cousins. I have never actually been there before, despite living in the area for most of my life. My home of Fareham was very close to this south coast town, but it was never a place I visited, nor, if I am honest, ever wanted too.
The journey across the water is brief, costing a hefty three pounds to travel from one side to the other. During the five minute journey, you get to see a few landmarks along the coast - The Spinnaker Tower, Royal Naval Dockyard and ships as well as buildings and businesses synonymous with the local economy. The trip is nothing spectacular, just a brief, fairly pleasant crossing, even when pouring with rain like yesterday.
There are very few facilities in Gosport, just the usual selection of chain stores and charity shops. So while my Aunt went shopping, I sat in a local pub with my cousin Emmy and had a few beers. It's nice spending quality time with family, even if it is in Gosport. Chatting over a pint of Stella and a plate of chips was just what the Doctor ordered!
By the time we caught the Ferry home, the rain had stopped and the sun was out, making for a more pleasurable journey. A little more shopping in Portsmouth (Think my Aunt has a shopping addiction,) a burger from Macdonalds and finally a relaxing evening in front of the TV, the first time I have been able to do that, during my week off!
I'm back to work on Sunday, so am making the most of the next few days. I have agreed to work in the Newcome this evening for a Birthday party, but I am looking forward to doing absolutely nothing otherwise. Today I even managed to stay in bed to a quarter past seven; lucky me. The sun is shining, as I look out of the window and it looks like Friday will be a good one, weather wise. The only difficulty on the horizon, is phoning the vets this afternoon to get test results for Duchess. We all remain hopeful, although equally understand just how ill she is with this infection. Deep down we know what the outcome is likely to be!
Have a great weekend y'all!
