I'm currently thinking about going out to the shops. The theory is that everybody will be queuing to get into Primark, leaving the Aldi all nice and quiet.

The theory proved correct, though I don't think Primark was open in Charlton. My other theory is that the checkout queue is the best place for remembering what you were supposed to buy in the shop.

No,the shop's still shut,though i spoke to a woman who works in the shop. She said she'll put them to one side for me,if they open up before i get chance to go in.

Not good news! I went into a shop across from the charity shop where the doll is today. When i mentioned that i was waiting for the charity shop to open,so i could buy the doll,the shop owner told me that she was after it as well and that the woman who works in the shop had said the same to her about saving it for her. she then told me that her friend also wanted it!!
This makes me think of this Dave Allen sketch.

Beers delivered to neighbour and had a nice socially distanced chinwag.

I also harvested the first of my french beans. All three of them.

And i now have a and some custard creams.

 

[Reynard]

Oh what a coincidence. Neither am I.

I have better things to do in life than standing in queues.

I should also have said...

... for things I don't want or need.

It's not as if what I currently have clothing and footwear-wise is going to fall into pieces. My idea of fast fashion is a cycling jersey.

I think I desperately need to do some non essential shopping so that I can queue up for hours to buy something I don't really need .
Now what don't I need ?

 

[Reynard]

I am also refraining from any commercial activity today.

I might swing for something on the Bay of E later that would sit well in my archive.

A man after my own mind.

Back from work at about 16:00 I had a return to work interview, with 4 other returning staff, it only lasted 15 mins, I then checked and started the petrol mower, the strimmer and the hedge cutter, went to get some weedkiller in the works van and spent the rest of the day spraying, another 2 hours spraying in the morning and then its strimming time in the playground.... its such a good job to go back to, oh my Bolle safety specs fell of my head, and the lens broke!!!! another couple of pairs to order tonight methinks

Pizza in the oven.

I got home from a 40 mile ride today and I was right Hank Marvin but there was feck all in the cupboard to eat, no bread nuffink. I had to drag some kind of bread like object out the freezer and make some kind of toast thing out of it. I was thoroughly and abjectly pissed off. Oh and I found the last piece of carrot cake. And tea.

Pizza out of the oven.

Time to put the paints away for today. I need to let a large patch of background that's painted wet-into-wet dry before I can do anything else.

Still keeps looking like rain, but so far we've had nary a drop...

Pizza out of the oven.

Well, was it cooked? Burnt? please put me out of my misery, What was on it?

 

[IaninSheffield]

Also managed to get through the day without going shopping.

I did however complete stage 3 (of 4) in the conifer trimming marathon. The next bit is the stepladders stage - me no like! Think I might wait until the bad weather returns so I have an excuse to postpone it further.
