Still in jimjams feeling slightly sorry for myself. Fire is lit and I'm needle felting a tree to take my mind off all the bits that hurt. Man flu has definitely struck :ohmy:

Hope you're feeling a bit less *bleurgh* xxx

I went out to Tesco to keep my mind off feeling grotty and stressy. Nothing beats a nice wee spot of yellow stickering :biggrin:

Lucked out majorly on avocadoes :hungry:

I avoid large supermarkets, at all costs. The combination of the intense lighting which distorts colours, the tannoy system and/or loud music, and people rushing about, not to mention the trolleys etc, make my brain feel like it is going to explode. :sad: I order the heavy stuff on-line.

I use the small shops, including a greengrocer who sells local produce, yummy cakes, wonderful biskits, and jams, spices etc. ^_^ There is a small Tesco about the size of a tennis court for milk etc,

Location
Kirton, Devon.
Greetings from Russia.
Weather much like Abingdon at the weekend... but with less snow.

Good and bad news so far, I have one of the better rooms with a double bed, a lleather sofa, proper dining table and chairs and small kitchen. There is a bath with a shower in it, but no fixing on the wall for the shower head. I did manage half a bath of hot water. There was a ysed bar of soap by the bath too which was nice.
The shower curtain duly collapsed which is OK because I didn’t need it, as did an arm of the towel rail.
On the plus side, they have a new chef for the breakfast who is able to do fresh eggs over-easy!!! This is a major improvement.

It’s the glamour...

Yes, theres a massive one by me, the ricoh arena tesco, we rarely use it, we prefer the little Morrisons round the corner, its very popular and always busy.
 
It is only -3 C here according to the car. I've been out and fed the birds, some of the wet cat food I put out next to a Hedgehog last night was frozen stiff but when I lifted the improvised tunnel most of the food had gone. The grass inside the tunnel was also clear of frost so it did provide a bit of shelter.
I'm not sure if the Hedgehog managed to find the food inside or if it was a crafty cat.
