Day 7 of my Fisher Family Experience (FFE) - Specialists, Seeds, Shopping and Salsa

This morning started at a more leisurely pace, we didn't have to leave the house until 10:25, at which time we strapped Tiggah in the car and headed out on our way to pick up Liz from her job in Kingston to take her to the hospital for an appointment.  Now it's not like me to disclose personal medical details, but since this isn't about me, it's probably okay, right?  So I won't actually tell you what the appointment was about, I'll just drop some well-placed shiny sparkly gappy toothy hints.  Here she is with her pearly whites on display as we arrive at the hospital.

While she was waiting in the dental wing, we went upstairs so that Sis could have a blood test, for another undisclosed medical matter, regarding her creaky fingers.

After our medical excursion, we dropped Liz back at work and drove to a place called Esher where we visited Garson's Farm on my quest for mustard and cress seeds.  I did managed to find something that sort of looked like it might be the right thing, and we got some tomato plants for Martz, and by then we really needed sustenance so we stopped at the cafe for jacket potatoes and sparkly water.
If only I was going to be in town on June 5th I could have popped in for the Jubilee Lunch special.
And I could have planted a festive Jubilee garden too.
We saw many dogs.

Afterwards we went to the other building, called the Farm Shop to look at what was there.

Then I saw the world's most expensive box of Froot Loops, and worked out that if I could get a cheap deal on a flight I could bring over a hundred boxes, sell them and break even.
Next we drove back into Kingston to do some shopping.  First stop the iconic Marks and Spencer.
I was pleased to see Tiggy's influence in many of the shops.
Shopping was very tiring but fortunately I did find a place to have a nap.
And then we did some more walking and looking.
And then finally we went home to prepare our mexican fiesta meal.
And then Matt came over to polish things off.
By then Jon and Liz had eaten so many tomatoes that their eyes turned red.
And that was our day.  See you tomorrow.
