Didn't go into town earlier as the tap dancing heffalumps decided to have a last hurrah. So waited for a bit and then only went to Tesco. Since I was there last week, not only has butter, and cat food gone up by 30p again, they've decided to reorganize nearly the entire shop, so could I find what I wanted? Like heck...

Couldn't get custard (only big brand left), they only had sugar in 1kg bags and couldn't get a Melton Mowbray pork pie. No reduced bread either. But I did pick up some raspberries and some brioche rolls on sticker, and ticked off everything else on my list.

According to the Book of Faces, all the big Tesco stores will be shut on Monday, so am going to sharpen my elbows for Sunday afternoon and head off for a spot of yellow stickering.

Lovely supper though. Pasta with sauce made from home-grown tomatoes and with a good heap of freshly grated Grana Padano cheese on top, and then apple & plum crumble with custard.

Piggy Reynard.

With inflation the way it is, you might be able to afford a penny sweet

Our inflation rate is a whopping 1.9%.

More letters from my solicitor regarding my accident. Why don't solicitors write in normal English?

Mr Cookiemonster's a Barrister and I struggle to understand some of the stuff they write, and I teach the language.

It's archaic.

That's my autumn/winter weekend cycling thing.

I bike to Tuen Mun, about 20 mins or so, ferry to Tai O, bike from Tai O to Tung Chung, MTR back home. Decent day out.

1p = about 9cents here.

High Engineering can be equally baffling.
