New friend…

In Gargrave again…

Day and night…

 

Warning…

London beware…

tomorrow Kitty is arriving with an empty suitcase and some serious shopping plans :D

Still a Battersea Bunny…

 Bunny still loves her area

White cloud and white wine at the Riverfront

Birds on the Thames…not sure what kind tho…

My balcony…still worth every penny…

Somehow absolutely no helispotting today tho…

Battersea Square

Nighty night…

 

Asda-kadabra :D

Bunny is not going to slag off Asda, Asda customers or Asda staff again, well, not any time soon anyway ;)  

Ditsy blond went to self check-out, a bit of faff and stress, and forgot to pick up my cash back. Only realised when I was in store next door. Cursed myself, but thought it worth to check if against all odds somebody had handed it in. And somebody had! Been handed in to Customer Services and was returned to ditsy blond against showing my receipt. They even apologised and said this happens quite frequently due to the way the self checkout is set up… My faith in humankind has been restored. In Asda. Who would have thought…

Verta-cal?

Ooh, it seems the hotel and restaurant in Bunny’s building will be opening very soon :D Curiously named Verta, it looks to be quite stylish (and probably quite expensive too), however Bunny is hoping they will have some offers for friends and family of residents…

Seems there will be a restaurant and a bar – and a spa too :D

Spring is in the air…

…and the water park in Bridges Wharf  is coming along nicely :D

Match made in heaven?

As observed in Clapham Junction…Kwik Tan – and if you go too far you’ll be Orange, moha :D

Battle of the giants

Bunny has become completely dependent on online grocery shopping – why schlep heavy bags home when man can deliver?

I started out with Sainsbury’s, mainly due to a recommendation. They offer 1 hour delivery slots, which is fab, but unfortunately the availability is not that good – I often have to book delivery a week in advance! The drivers are very friendly and helpful…but will only carry my groceries to the front door. And the online system seems to be a bit random, often items have disappeared from my order!

Tesco: Bunny was tempted by £10 off voucher…was not too impressed with their 2 hour delivery slots, but the availability was good – I actually managed to book delivery for the next day, and they delivered on time…and they do bag-less delivery; the man even carried everything into my kitchen. And he remembered to thank me profoundly for giving him an alternative postcode – Bridges Wharf is not yet live in all sat nav systems, so I normally direct them to the heliport

Now, is Bunny shallow for preferring the company with the best looking drivers…? She will certainly not be testing Asda ;)

Snowdrops keep falling on my head…

The first flowers of spring are already out in York Gardens…possibly crocus…not quite as pretty as the Cambridge snowdrops, but still…unfortunately, more snow forecasted for next week…
