A busy day for Vince - but not me

Vince has gone into our nearest city, Bunbury, in Western Australia. I feel a bit strange calling it a city as it doesn't seem that big to me. We only go there when we need to but when we do go we try to make the most of the trip.
He has an appointment for a specialist for a routine procedure he has every few years. He will also see the financial consultant who looks after our superannuation fund. A visit to the Social Security place would be next if he still has time. This place is notorious for very slow service.
He has to pick up two pairs of trousers from Rivers. He has taken the receipt from his last purchase and will get 40% once he produces it. That's why we didn't bring the trousers home last time.
He wants to get a hair-cut, he needs to pick up some pellets for Herc and – icing on the cake – when we visited the retirement village we were given a ticket in a raffle – and we won! How cool is that? So he needs to pick up our prize which I'll photograph for my next post. I can't really remember what the prize was.
Hopefully he'll get home in time to go to golf so it will be mostly a day on my own today. I don't have a relevant photo so will use a kangaroo paw which is our state flower.

@1hopefulman I threw out some papers and newspapers that I'd been saving but really weren't worth the space they were taking.

Poor Herc didn't live long enough to eat all his pellets so that was a bit of a shame.

@Happy2BeMe It is a half hour trip so really annoying if you forget something and have to go again next day.

@JudyEv I hope he got everything done! A list is always a good idea when you have so much to do.

In the end he didn't get to see the Social Security people. He waited an hour but then had to leave.

It's well-named isn't it? It looks like a kangaroo paw.

Thanks. It is very striking isn't it? There are few different colours but this is my favourite.

That is a pretty flower aptly named. Make hay while the sun shines as being on one's own the sun shines more sometimes.
