There was a brief panic this morning. Apparently, Pistol Pete hadn't been well and Urban-Cub asked if we could look after Ellie. There was nothing planned so we readily agreed. Then Pistol Pete decided he would be all right and we weren't needed. G-Force could stand down.
We had decided that the current lighting in the kitchen/family room wasn't really ideal, particularly now that the walls had been re-painted. This meant that a trip to the John Lewis' lighting department was needed. We wandered in, scanned the lights, hummed, hah'd, and eventually chose a new ceiling light to replace the existing pendants that are above the table. They didn't have one in stock, so the Gorse Fox will have to collect it tomorrow. In addition to the ceiling light we also selected a small table lamp, which we were able to bring away with us.
From there we had a whistle-stop tour of a couple of shops looking for some specific cushion covers that the Silver Vixen had seen. They weren't in stock, either. We headed back to the car and went on to Rustington. We were luckier there. We need 4 cushion covers (and their associated cushions) - they had 5 in stock. Money changed hands, the car was loaded and we headed back towards home, stopping off at The Oystercatcher for lunch on the way. We didn't push the boat out, just select from their lunchtime set menu. Some baked portobello mushroom id garlic and cheddar sauce to start with, then a chicken and mushroom pie for the main dish. Nothing special, just good pub grub.
