I actually went to the little Tesco this morning! My weather app said rain at 9:00am, with a little lightning bolt symbol underneath a cloud symbol, then at 10:00am and 11:00am there was a cloud symbol with a sun peaking out, and then at 12:00 midday there was another cloud symbol with a little lightning bolt symbol underneath it! So I told my Mum I had a window at 10:00am and 11:00am when I could go to the shop. My Mum gave me her shopping list, club card and £40 and off I went. I still wore one of my macs with a hood just incase. When I got to the shop I got 2 of the TV magazines as usual, and also a Radio Times for me because it's got a Doctor Who cover and an article or two about the two part finale of Doctor Who inside. Then I got some kitchen roll which was just on the shelf opposite. Then I went down the crisps and sweets isle, the fresh bakery section is at the end of this isle. I got my Mum and Syd some custardy tarty things, and put them in one of the brown paper bags supplied. Then I turned round and got a bounty bar for Syd from the other side of the isle. Then I also got some liquorice allsorts. After that I went and got some organic bananas, and then I got some strawberries. I could see most of them had today's date on them. I thought mmmm. Then I picked one of them up and saw that underneath were some with 13 June on, so.I got one of those. Then I got some Alpen with no added sugar for my Mum. Next I went to get the milk. But I saw that the 2 pint bottles were sold out. So instead I either needed to get 1 large 4 pint bottle or 4 small 1 pint bottles. The large 4 pint bottle was £1.55 whereas the small 1 pint bottles were 90p each. I worked out that getting 4 small 1 pint bottles would cost £3.60! (Tell me if I'm wrong, I'm no good at maths!) So I took the large 4 pint bottle. Then I got some honey roasted peanuts, and went to pay. I was in a small queue, but when I got to the front of the queue the lady moved a pile of baskets from off the space where the baskets go so I could put my very heavy basket there. It cost just over £26! After I'd payed I set off for home again. As I was coming up the road just passed my church there was a taxi stopped infront of the houses there. The taxi driver opened his car door as I approached and the car door covered the whole of the path. Then I saw a little old lady coming from her house with her walker and 2 large shopping bags. The taxi driver closed his car door and the lady came up to the back of the car where the taxi driver was going to put her walker in the boot for her. I waited until the little lady was at the back of the car before I went passed. The little old lady gave me a wave in thanks for waiting. When the little old lady had passed to the back of the car, I went passed. It didn't rain on me at all! When I got home I told my Mum about having to get a large 4 pint bottle of milk instead of a couple of 2 pint ones. Then I gave her her change, shopping list and club card. Then I unpacked the groceries and put them away. I sat and read the TV magazine for a bit, watched Homes Under the Hammer and had my lunch. Now I'm watching The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross on Sky Arts (Freeview channel 36) What are you lot getting up to today? I hope you are all well. Have a nice day.
