Toorington Life - A Lazy Weekend

 

Toorington people on their way to church

A Lazy Toorington Weekend!

This weekend was a very slow weekend.  We had a lazy time.  We spent most of our time in the garden.  A little bit here and a little bit there.  Nothing special.  

But, the grill  on Saturday evening was great. Two beautiful steaks. We bought them at the butchers on Saturday morning. And, the wine  came from The Toorington Wine Bar. Very good and a very good price. Only 10 pounds a bottle.  

After dinner we watched Grafenegg on TV.  Live from Austria.  Buchbinder was playing.  A sensational concert.  Brilliant as usual.   One day, we are definitely going to Grafenegg.  I love the atmosphere.  Classic and fine.

And, what's planned for next week?   We are meeting Mick of the Toorington theatre club.  See you next week.

Ein faules Toorington-Wochenende!

Dieses Wochenende war ein sehr ruhiges Wochenende.  Wir hatten eine faule Zeit.  Die meiste Zeit haben wir im Garten verbracht.  Ein bisschen hier und ein bisschen da.  Nichts Besonderes.  

Aber das Grillen am Samstagabend war großartig. Zwei schöne Steaks. Wir haben sie am Samstagmorgen beim Metzger gekauft. Und der Wein kam von der Toorington Wine Bar war Sehr gut und ein sehr guter Preis. Nur 10 Pfund pro Flasche.  

Nach dem Abendessen haben wir uns Grafenegg im Fernsehen angesehen.  Live aus Österreich.  Buchbinder hat gespielt.  Ein sensationelles Konzert.  Brillant wie immer.   Eines Tages werden wir auf jeden Fall nach Grafenegg fahren.  Ich liebe die Atmosphäre.  Klassisch und fein.

Und was ist für nächste Woche geplant?   Wir treffen uns mit Mick vom Toorington Theater Club.  Wir sehen uns nächste Woche.

Toorington Life - The Toorington Market

 

The Toorington Market – Mary Went To The Market

Mary and Susan are in the kitchen. They are chatting about shopping. They love shopping very much. Last Saturday, Mary went to the market.

At the market, Mary bought many beautiful things. She bought a very nice pair of brown plastic shoes. Next week it's her mother's birthday. Mary also bought a garden spade for her husband and a wonderful goldfish bowl for her brother.

On the way home from the market, Mary saw a wonderful dress in a shop window. Unfortunately, it was too big and too expensive.

Next week, Mary is going to the market again. Maybe, she will find a beautiful cheap dress to buy!
