Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I have a round trip of 45 miles if I go to Newtown or 50 miles if I go to Aberystwyth that's why I do a months shop in one go and only use the crappy Co Op if I absolutely have to.

Still -1 here but the sun is shining on all the sparkly frost.
Dishes washed and put away. Washing in the machine. Bedding to be changed yet.
And I have some new sparkly nail polish that looks a bit like frost

Just booked my car in for its Service and MOT. Thursday 27th Jan.
Mine is in for MOT tomorrow..... technically not due till 21st.
Went to tax it last week (due 31st) and they would not do it as it was too close to the MOT
......Load of b*llix imo but thats the law.

I went back to bed, I'm up now and dressed breakfast/brunch will follow shortly 
Re' distance to shops.
I can walk to the Spar or Co-op in 15 minutes.
Drive to Aldi in less than 10 minutes. We have 3 Aldis in town but 2 are difficult because of traffic.
We have Tesco and Asda which are 10-15 minutes at 0800.....any later, forget it.

A buff can be handy as a makeshift mask, doubly handy in this cold weather.

Walked round for a few bits of shopping and forgot to get the one thing I am nearly out of......toothpaste
Just back from a walk, cold to start with but bright and sunny. I watched the first episode of Isaac Asimov's " Foundation " on Apple TV yesterday. I read the series of books as a young man and thoroughly enjoyed them. An excellent first episode and there seems to be a fair bit of content. Mrs Tenkaykev got three months subscription free with her new iPad Mini, probably won't continue it but there's always the option to subscribe for a month and binge watch a particular series.
Back from Bideford.
Dropped into the garage and booked the car in for a full brake service next month.
It's going in to the bodyshop a few days earlier to have the dent in the rear door fixed and then it's booked in for a full valet.
I've decided to keep the CRV after looking around to swap it. Better the devil you know and all that.
I reckon if I have to spend a couple of grand on it, it'll still be a better bet than forking out 10k - 15k on an unknown quantity.
