Enjoyable Tesco Shopping.

All praise where it is due!

Yesterday brought the most disparate of weather systems: some of the time the skies were blue and the sun was shining, but at other times the clouds covered the skies and some of them were ominously black. When the black clouds appeared the wind got up and was really quite fierce; at the same time the skies chucked down so much rain. The rain was just stotting off the pavements and the roads. The lorries threw up so much muck and water it was positively dangerous. First off I went to my GP surgery for my fluvac and then returned home.

Shortly after, TBSITW collected me to go shopping. First we went to a near by town to get some fish, then we had to go to big city to collect a parcel for which DHL had left a card to say they had tried to deliver……. (You know the sort of thing). Anyway we collected that and headed off back to Tesco. It is the first time in a while we have shopped together. It was just so much fun. We went our separate ways and agreed to meet just inside the entrance when we had finished. Usually on my own, by the time I get to the checkout I just about lose the will to live.

This time TBSITW asked me as we met by chance if I had remembered the antihistamine for insect bites. I said I couldn’t find any in spite of searching, but shortly after she came back having found some (it was very low down.)

So, I finished my shopping and found a charming gentleman at the till who put my shopping through and packed my bags for me, and then I went and found a seat at the door to wait for TBSITW.

Now when we arrived there was a table with about 4 chairs and when I came back they were still there, but almost immediately after someone came and removed the table and the other chairs. I said I was just waiting for my sister and was that all right. “Certainly”.

I had bought two lemon sole fillets for my evening meal, but having eaten too much for a very late lunch I saved them for today.

I have missed so many of your posts depending on Bloglines for the feeds. I thought you just weren't posting. So sorry I am! How far apart are your towns? Hope the weather gets better for you.

Bet they are not as far apart as yours!

To outside of big city (for hair dos etc) about 12 - 15 miles (Bet TBSITW has a more accurate measurement), to town for fish, about 5 miles; to TBSITW about 10 miles.

But, beware, none of this is properly researched!

Not bad estimates!
