Back from town, erranding all done.

Ended up in Tesco to pick up a few bits and to get the photo prints done from the machine in the vestibule. Goodness me, things have gone up since I was in there last Monday. It's just bonkers...

A cake of butter is now £1.99, my usual (if i'm buying not baking) loaf of bread has gone up to 80p, my favourite chocolate spread has now gone up a pound a jar and they don't stock large blocks of cheddar cheese anymore... It's depressing.

OTOH they did have 10kg sacks of basmati rice for £12.50 on a clubcard offer, so one of those came home with me.

Now having a and then I shall put my supper in the poppity ping.

I wrote and posted a letter to a neighbour who has moved away and did my second couch to 5k run in the rain.

Had the rest of the chicken, mushroom & gnocchi for supper.

Still have the last portion of crumble and custard for later.

I remember hearing that this was why the shaving companies changed; they knew that the shave you get from a safety razor couldn't be bettered, but ran advertising to convince people otherwise.

Can't beat a sharp single blade.

The photo machine in Tesco wasn't having a good day.

All the black & white prints and two of the colour ones all have a distinct pink colour cast to them, and one other colour print has bright pink lines all over it.

Jobs just get bigger!
It started off with a flush which needed a de scale . Then it was a new flush . I then discovered that a new flush wouldn't fit the old cistern .
Sorted a new complete toilet .
Now there is a gap all around where the cistern will fit as the previous peep cut the tiles to fit around the cistern !
I have 2 of the old tiles and 3 similar style and colour . I need 6 if I removed the existing ones .
Removing the tiles would be more work but seems to be the sensible option .
This is turning into a saga !

Just pucker up and know a fitted kitchen is on the horizon.

I know about mission creep, it was my life's work

I had bought a bottle of Tonic Water to sip on while working for a change. I can confirm that Tonic without gin isn't particularly interesting...

Try gin on its own. Much better., I can assure you after intensive study

Right, time to put some sensible / presentable clothes on and tootle off into town to do some erranding.

Will the clothes improve.the outcome?

I do not think that a dark blue onesie with monkeys wearing pink scarves and bobble hats is suitable wear for outside the front gate. So an emphatic YES is the answer.

Yep, my diddy little microwave. Has to be, I only have a galley kitchen.
