A bit more variety

We did drive up to the boot sale field but it wasn’t on today. It is closed during January so no bargain hunting for a while. We decided not to go out for breakfast so I said some washing and changed the bedding. I needed some more ingredients for baking tomorrow so I got three trolley out and walked to Tesco. I only had about ten items and the card machine said £141 ! The lady in front of me thought she had paid but it didn’t go through. So they had to take my items off and the swipe them all again, while the queue to be served was getting longer! I had forgotten one thing and they had sold out of another, so I dropped the shopping off and went to the Co-op.
I decided it was time to do something about the tool cupboard as it has become a mess with me putting things on the floor, my vague excuse being that it has two quite steep steps into it!
I can get in without tripping over something now.
After lunch I walked to the front hoping to find something to sketch. In one direction it was bright and dark clouds loomed in the other. In the third picture the white specs are seagulls!
I did do a sketch and of course it spotted with rain the moment I started.
It was really cold out so I had a bath when I got in then got dinner for myself abbé Darren as Tina was eating out itch her teaching friends.

  1. Shame you can’t go bargain hunting for a while, but it’s not for too long. Looks like you got a few things done at home though. You made a really good job of the shed. I wonder how long it will be before it’s all on the floor again?😊 I have the same trouble, sort things and vow to keep it that way…….until the next time 😂
    Are you sure the lady in Tesco wasn’t trying to pull a fast one and get away with free shopping? Good job you didn’t get lumbered with it though. I’d have like to have seen your face when it said you owed £141!
    The pics of the front look like they were taken on different days. Strange how they are so different. At least you managed an outdoor sketch for a change, even if it did rain.
    Enjoy DIP tonight.

  2. Every intention of keeping it orderly at the moment, but history tells me it is a bit like making New Year’s resolutions!
    I had my debit card put ready, I think I just said ‘that can’t be right!’ The lady on the till did get quite flustered and then she was sent off to find the customer while someone else sorted it out!
    I am sure DIP will be good.
