More likely it’s the troubles of cross border trading since brexit 😕
As there are no Sainsburys in Southern Ireland.

Bonsoir. Got back from France yesterday afternoon and now driving down to Devon. Should be in Bideford in about one hour. Back to Wales on Sunday and no more going away for a while after that.
Ended up going to town on the bus and had Fish & Chips in Wetherspoons.
Must say it was very good; as was the Exmoor 'Stag'.

I prefer the larger ones.

Another cold start ( and finish) to the day. Local parkrun cancelled due to ice on the path by the lake.
We’re going to the Panto with our granddaughter this afternoon, our local theatre company is staging “ Freezing “ which seems apt. ( Oh yes it does…)
Then it’s a sleepover and grandad is making “ The best Macaroni Cheese in the World “ as it’s her favourite dish.

Good morning from a cold and sparkly Coventry, its been been a very cold night with a very heavy frost. Whats going on with going to bed, going to sleep then waking up thinking I've been asleep ages and its morning but I've only been asleep for half an hour? It then takes ages to get back to sleep again. @Dave7 I always drink my tea and coffee black.

Never again will I raise my eyebrows at the cost of Mrs P visiting the hairdresser.

Good day. -4⁰C. 
I have struggled to get the stove going. No one bothered to walk up to the allotment yesterday to get kindling - scrunched up newspaper, firelighters and logs are not a good combination for starting a fire.
Last night, Mrs P asked "What have you got on tomorrow?" Now I should have learned by now but was caught off guard, "Nothing really" I replied. "Good, you can fix the porch floor then." 🥺
I'm a southerner and have the accent to prove it. Deepest east Lancs accent is still a struggle for me after 40 years here. On our walk yesterday the FP went through a farmyard, we chatted to the farmer who spoke broad east Lancs and was 70 if he was a day. After we carried on walking the conversation went like this:
Me: "His mother must be getting on a bit"
My friend, looking puzzled: "Why?"
Me: "He said he'd phoned for mother's medicine but they hadn't mixed it yet" (I had thought this a bizarre thing to say to strangers in your farmyard)
My friend: "He was telling us he has to get more sheep pellets but when he phoned his supplier they hadn't finished mixing it"
Things can only get better............I hope.

I often have trouble understanding the carers due to their accents, a lot of them seem to be Polish, there's one African lady who's lovely but I can't understand a word she says due to her thick accent.

I have my bedding in the washing machine. I doubt very much it will dry outside though, so clothes hoese it is.
