Yesterday's shopping trip.

Yesterday I went shopping down town again. It was quite hot again, but Mum thought it might be breezy so I took a coat with me just incase. I didn't need it. My Mum told me not to worry if they weren't in when I got back because she was going to the dentist to get her denture fitted. I was going to go and get my repeat prescription again yesterday and I don't go and get that till 2:00pm and I wanted to get it straight after shopping, so I didn't set out till 11:30am. I walked round Stowe Pool on the higher path as usual. There didn't seem to be many ducks and geese on Stowe Pool yesterday. I went straight to Holland and Barrett first without even going to the toilet by the Cathedral. I got 2 bottles of Kombucha for myself and some sugar free biscuits for my Mum. I payed for them separately, I payed for mine first with my money, and then I payed for my Mum's with her money. Then I went and sat on a bench to eat my sandwich and drink some of my Kambucha. I had an apple flavour one and a wild berry flavour one, and I drank some of the apple flavour one. Then I went to Rileys and got some strawberries, 4 pears, a whole cucumber, some lettuce and another packet of sugar free biscuits for my Mum. After that I went into The Works just to waste some time but I didn't buy anything. And then I went to Waterstones and did the same thing. Next week I might go in and actually buy something. After that I went to No.24 (the pub) and before I did anything else I went straight to the loo! Then I parked the trolley next to the comfy area and went and ordered myself a lemon and lime because I liked it so much when I had one last week! Next I went to the Oxfam bookshop and bought myself some more Sci-Fi books again. Only 2 this time. They were Mission Earth: An Alien Affair by L Ron Hubbard and A for Andromeda by Fred Hoyle and John Elliot. After that I set off up the hill to go and get my repeat prescription. It didn't take me long to get it. There was no-one in there when I went in and soon I was on my way home. I was just going up the road to the corner of our street when I saw our car drive past so I knew Mum was off to the dentist. I got in, went to the toilet, unpacked the groceries, had a drink and went to lie on my bed and read. How was your day?

I was supposed to be at work yesterday but had to call off sick. Went today but we only had one run to do so work was about 3 hours then I got to come home. I did get some crocheting done so that was a bonus. Got another blog up and going again for recipes. I've got a bunch of posts ready to publish that I can do right before bed. I want to get another 10 or so posts ready so I can just do them on my days off.

Isn't L Ron Hubbard the man who invented scientology?

Yes, he is, but he's also a science fiction writer.

Thank you very much. Yes, I do, don't I? My Mum might be coming with me this Friday. I don't know yet. I did pick up some good books. I don't know when I'm going to get round to reading them!

You had a great day, nice! Wednesday, went to get my Medicare of for home test kits from Walmart. Did my shopping then. Today, home, tested negative, so I'm happy! Tv and early supper of wontons & my bitter melon, lotus roots and Japanese radish salad topped with miso dressing, soon. Laundry done yesterday. Relaxing time now & supper.

@sharonelton I see. Maybe, other fresh vegetable available at your shops, easier to make salad that's cheaper too? My salad, Asian markets should have.

Yes, I did have a good day. I really enjoyed it. I hope you enjoyed your shopping trip and I'm glad you tested negative. I've been looking for lotus root but I can't find any anywhere! I could only get the Japanese radish from Amazon and it was sliced and dried and you had to reconstitute it. I'm glad you got your laundry done. It's time for Mum to do some more laundry and the last lot are still drying! I hope you have a nice day.
