Today's trip to the little Tesco.

So, I've just been to the little Tesco again. Mum thought it would be a bit cold out, so I wore my fleece. But as I was walking up the street, I realised I was going to be very hot in it! Near the end of tue street, and across the road from me, a truck was offloading roof tiles, and blocking the path I wanted to walk on. So I had to walk further down on my side of the road before I crossed over further down from where the truck was. Then I went to the post box to post my letter to Paul telling him how I'm getting on with my art. As I was walking down the road towards the shop I was getting really hot in my fleece, but I couldn't be bothered stopping and taking it off in the middle of the street. I got the TV magazines as usual, and a bounty bar for my step-dad. Then my Mum wanted a packet of 6 small cakes, so I got Viennese Whirls. Then I got some KitKats and salt and vinegar flavoured pringles. I got 3 bananas, and a net of lemons. I got the lemons because I'm going to be having my fish tomorrow night instead of Thursday and I need a lemon to go with that. And because we're going to the big Tesco on Thursday instead of Wednesday, it will be too late on Thursday to get a lemon for Wednesday's dinner! Did you get that? Also, they don't have single lemons in the little Tesco, so I had to get a net of them. I then got some blueberries for me, and some green grapes. I couldn't get any strawberries, so I got raspberries instead. Then I got some egg custard tarts for my Mum and step-dad, and I got myself a prawn layered salad for Wednesday's lunch. Then I got 2 bottles of milk and then I went to pay. It came to just over £23. It was a different lady who served me, and she asked me if I wanted my receipt and I said no, so she didn't give it to me! Then I set off for home. It was a bit cooler on the way home, but it was still hot. The truck had gone so I was able to cross over where I usually do. The guys who were fitting the roof tiles had very strong Birmingham accents and potty mouths! They were f'ing and blinding all over the place! The house directly opposite, I found out when I crossed the road, was also having their roof done, and all the tiles were off the roof. I couldn't wait to get home and take my fleece off! Then I went to the toilet, because I was bursting, After that I gave my Mum her change, Tesco club card and voucher, and her shopping list. I told her I couldn't get any strawberries, so I got raspberries instead. I unpacked the groceries and put them away, and now I'm watching Homes Under the Hammer again! What have you lot been getting up to? I hope you are all well. Have a nice day.

I hope Paul will answer you soon, I know you appreciate him. It is very warm also here today, you think it's cool in the morning, but as soon as you start walking it gets too warm. I am sorry you could not get your strawberries, I like raspberries too, but I prefer strawberries.

@LadyDuck Yes, I'm sure he will. He wants to know how I'm getting on with my works of art! Yes, it is incredibly hot still. It's definitely not right! I'm glad you are well. Thank you very much.

Yes, I know what you mean. It was cooler earlier, and I told my Mum the temperature that my weather app said, but by the time I went out to the shop it had warmed up considerably.

Oh, thank you very much. That's very kind of you. I hope you enjoy hearing about what happens with the washing machine tomorrow when the plumber comes. Then there will be shopping to the big Tesco on Thursday and shopping down town on Friday. What excitement!

@RebeccasFarm I'll try and make it easy for you to understand! I don't know if he'd think that was an invasion of his privacy!

I hope you get an answer from Paul. It's been really chilly here. I guess summer is over. Nothing much going on. You have a nice day too.

I'm sure I will. He sent the first one, didn't he? He wanted me to send him my mobile number so that we could keep in touch regarding our works of art!

Thank you very much. Yes, except for the strawberries. Your leather coat with sheep fleece lining sounds lovely. It sounds a lot fancier than my little fleece, which is not long and does not have leather on the outside! i hope you enjoyed working on your PC. Have a great night.

It's very warm here too. A lady from Freegle came over to collect some plants, and we ended up spending ages chatting. And she kindly took something for me to drop off to another Freegler later.

The kitchen sink had a leak and my mother fixed it this morning. I had alot of dishes to wash. I got my Halloween shirt that I ordered from Etsy. I got strawberries on Sunday. I also got some cat treats because we are running out.

Oh, no! Bad luck. I'm glad your mother fixed it. If that was us we'd have phoned a plumber! I had a lot of dishes to wash too (even though our sink didn't have a leak). In fact, there wasn't enough room on the drainer for all of them, so I've left a couple of pirex dishes soaking that were caked in stuff. I'll wash those tomorrow. I hope my Mum isn't going to need them before then! I'm sure she won't. I'm glad you got your Halloween shirt that you ordered from etsy. I've got a Halloween dress. I think it's what you call a 'skater dress'. I got it years ago because my little nephews were having a Halloween themed birthday party (their birthdays are on 29 October, so very near Halloween.) I'm glad you got some strawberries. I hope we can get some strawberries when we go to the big Tesco on Thursday. I'm glad you got some cat treats. I bet you wouldn't hear the end of it if the cat didn't get its treats!

@sharonelton Oh dear. That's a long time to go without being able to do the laundry. I'm glad the plumber was able to come.

Good morning! Please don't talk to me about putting a load of washing on! I haven't been able to do any laundry for two weeks, and the whites and woolies haven't been washed for three! If we couldn't have got the plumber to come today, it would have been another three weeks before we could get one to come, so I wouldn't have done any laundry for five or six weeks! I hope you did everything you needed to do. It does sound very exciting. ()
