LSD so far - approx. €4 for bread.
I went to put air in my tyres yesterday and it turned into a complete fiasco. My local garage is tiny and someone always parks in such a way that they're blocking access to the pump. So I usually drive to the nearest town to do it. Sure enough, there was a big white van blocking access to the pump at my local garage. So I drove to the nearest town. The first garage just had a basic pump - no display for showing or setting the PSI. So I drove to another garage a bit outside the town. A nice big garage with a pump and display. What could possibly go wrong? I proceeded to unscrew the tyre caps and place them carefully in a pocket in my handbag. The last cap was really tight and I struggled to unscrew it. In the struggle, my handbag somehow tipped upside down and my wallet and face mask fell into a puddle beside the car! After a lot of swearing, I retrieved the items and proceeded to inflate the tyres. Opened my handbag and discovered I only had three caps - the last one was missing. I checked all around the car and even got on my hands and knees (on the damp, muddy ground) in case it had rolled under the car, but no sign of it. I got into the car and took a deep breath and found it in the bottom of my handbag. I have resolved to buy a tyre inflator in Halfords!
In other news, I've been mainlining crackers with Port Salut cheese and Ferrero Rocher. And watching lots of movies and reading lots. Last night I watched 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' with DD. I'd recorded it off the TV and DD (Generation Netflix) was complaining 'cos we had to fast forward the ads. I told her she was lucky we had the option of fast forwarding the ads and in my day you had to sit through them
. Today I'm recording 'Emma' on BBCTwo and I'll watch it tonight. No ads 'cos its on BBC
.
A lovely day here today - sunny and not too cold.
I asked DD for a starter cross stitch kit for Christmas. She got me an embroidery kit instead. I'm not sure if I'll be able for it - I did a tiny bit of embroidery in primary school but that was a lonnnng time ago. I didn't say anything though as I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
life so pleased your test is negative.
madden your love/hate relationship with Emma made me laugh.
Another mention for The Burren smoked salmon. It's fab. I visited the smokehouse there a few years ago but it never occurred to me to order from them. I just checked their website and it's €13.50 for 180g
. By comparison, Nolan's smoked salmon in Tesco is currently €5 (normal price is €6.80) for 170g. I know the one from The Burren is organic so you're not comparing like for like. But even so, it's very expensive. Maybe next year for a Christmas treat...... I did order some tins of sardine pate and we're working our way through them. I've been really missing sardine pate since our holiday in Portugal in 2019.
Good luck to everyone who is back to work today.
Girlie I'm sorry DD (and by extension, you) is still struggling with the eating disorder. I really wish there was something I could do to help. Sending you virtual hugs and
seems so inadequate.
