Today’s were approx. 25% off regular price.

Mmmm, generally that's not worth it unless it was something you were going to get anyway. I got lucky at teatime - unintentionally - both in Waitrose and then in Tesco.

Only popped into Waitrose to pick up the recipes as mum collects them, had a look and bagged 4 tubs of organic double cream marked down from 95p each to 15p each. That'll be a nice batch of butter then.

Then went to Tesco (needed to register a sim card so I could top it up), had a bimble around the YS cabinets and picked up 2 packs of hot cross buns marked down from £1.50 each to 60p each and a pack of smoked turkey off the deli counter that was marked down from £4.95 to £1.49.

I saw a large flock of Wagtails flying over this afternoon.

I've never seen more than two flying anywhere near to each other and never in a flock. Odd.

Long-tailed tits, maybe?

Have also only seen wagtails singly - or at most - in pairs.

I love a good doughnut but I rarely buy, because once I start, I can't stop... P.S. The Polish style ones are really, really nice...

Packzki!

Great book. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress also good.

Right, off to bed. I need to be in Huntingdon at an unholy hour.

Not knowing anything of wagtails, I looked to the BBC, who seem to know something of them, and they say they congregate in winter, in carparks. maybe with a cheap bottle of wine.
