This was, essentially a day of killing time until derby KO. Had breakfast at the Tivoli (Lou unhappy that she got Eggs Royale instead on Benedict) then went over to Grafton charity shops looking for small teapot to go on walking cane. Lou came home with a miniature chinese teapot, cups & a belt. I got some cat food. All-in-all, not a huge success.
Went to the library as they were doing DVDs for £1 for 7 days. Bumped into John C and had a cup of tea and a long natter in the cafe on the 3rd floor.
Came home and watched "Death in Paradise" - well I did, Lou mostly slept.
Went over to the pub around an hour before kick off & it was rammed. One table with a blonde banshee was there making a noise all night.
Game was a complete waste of time. We tried hard but mainly seemed to be attempting to bore them into submission while Everton came with the single purpose of not losing. It actually took them until the 87th minute to have their one & only shot on target. Barry, who'd joined us to watch the match, actually missed this as he'd got so bored he'd gone home.
One the plus side, we did get to eat our free burgers.

This was all about Steampunk at the Folk Museum. After some debate, Lou went with the gold corset, purple skirt and purple jacket from Primark. I was just in my usual military outfit.
Wandered down about 11.30 and saw a few over the road at the council (Sue & Barry + Phil & Ang). so walked down with them. Andrew & Jill joined us inside and the guide was a 3rd year scouser studying Anglo-saxon & Norse. Waited for a while for Jamie, Magz etc but when they turned up there was only Jamie & Bronwyn. Apparently Magz elder daughter had had a hissy fit and she'd stayed behind to reason with her. Tour was excellent and enjoyed by all.
Wandered down the hill in groups to the Mitre, where Magz joined us (still sans daughter). As she hadn't been able to dress properly Jamie ended up lacing her corset up in the pub to curiosity of the 'normals'. Had a lovely conversation with all - hadn't really chatted to Phil & Angie before so that was great. Everybody seemed to have enjoyed the afternoon & we all said we must meet up again ASAP.
After we all split up we wandered home & got changed. Went over to the pub and watched the West Ham-Scum game. Seems Fergietime still operates and, if it wasn't for De Gea, the Hammers would have won. Also if they had been able to defend until the final whistle, they would have won.
Home to watch "Top Gear". Was one of the funniest for ages. Watching James losing his 'patient' was LOL and Danny Ricciardo being asked what the back of Lewis Hamilton's car looked like was superb.
