Ikea Sunset

Précis of My Day

Walked Ruby - had a game of chase on the park
Went to Nottingham - did the sales - 3 new t-shirts (quite trendy - Republic and River Island) and some M&S party food.
Came Home - had dinner (lunch to some)
Walked Ruby - no game of chase because a footie game was on the park
Drove to Giltbrook retail park - did Next, BHS, Laura Ashley, Comet and Ikea (bought some new plates and dishes from Ikea)

Just as we entered Ikea the sun was setting. Whipped my camera out of pocket and took a few sunset pics before the sun set !

Drove home , fed Ruby, walked Ruby again, had Tea (dinner to some)...shared a bottle of 'Cava'...not just any Cava...M&S Cava !!! whie watching TV and doing my 365.

Exciting day don't you think ????

Well there you are then Phil.. I did say I liked the writing as much as the photo & here is a classic example, really brought a smile to my face !! You have had a busy day & to end with a picture of this wonderful sunset is the close of a perfect day . Love the letters of IKEA in silhouette .
