Other than when I'm doing a full grocery shop, I tend to wait until I've a raft of things that need doing, as it's an eleven mile round trip into town. Yes, it's frantic, but takes up far less time than going out every time I need something.

Wilkinson's, Waitrose and Savers are all next to each other just off the market place, along with a Holland & Barrett, Iceland, Peacocks and Sports Direct. Tesco is over by the station a mile or so away, and Aldi is on the way home if I go the long way round. Sainsbury's is opposite Aldi near enough, along with the Post Office depot.

I have a coop and one other small kind of deli shop and err that's it.
Shopping is a full day or possibly two at least to get to Oban where there is Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and M&S for food with Argos, Homebase, and a variety of chemists and some clothes and shoe shops.

Very hot day forecast with a SW light wind.
Not planned anything.
My rheumatoid arthritis has flared up a bit in this hot weather. It has been in remission for a few years but contrary to the usual expectations it is hot weather which bothers it and not cold. There are all sorts of nasty medications I have had in the past but I would rather stay away from them if possible.
Washing machine is doing it's stuff so should be finished soon. I never leave it when it is running as the last one we had went on fire as the solenoid had failed and the heat came on but no water.
We are also threatened with water being cut off so better to keep an eye on it.

Going to look into that today. Also two trust worthy neighbours offered to keep a key. Think burying one in a plastic box might be the answer.

My old neighbour used to have a spare key. After a Christmas party I came home with my girlfriend wearing the wrong jacket. My neighbour wasn’t impressed at being woken at 3am, and told me to keep my spare key!

Listening to a cuckoo
Some say I went cuckoo years ago.
 
Warning !
People are getting worried about the threat of AI on human existence! But the threat is already out there and people haven't noticed !
It is from showers!
Yes! They may seem benign things but they are biding their time waiting to strike at any moment! That nice warm shower could suddenly turn to be either a freezing cold blast or even scalding water aimed directly at you and you won't be able to do a thing about it! They have an in built safety feature, a water canon aimed directly at you which prevents you from reaching the control knobs.
Take my advice and have them removed immediately! :whistle:

British Showers want to kill you. It was quite a revelation when I came to Germany and discovered that showers can actually provide a reliable stream of warm water.
