Happy Pancake Day! Today's trip to the little Tesco. (4/3/2025)

It's pancake day today! When I got up this morning, a big truck thing was infront of our house doing something. They left a traffic cone at the end of our drive, and a sign. My Mum still wasn't up. She got downstairs at around 9:30am. I had my pills, and I have to wait half an hour then before breakfast. After I'd had my breakfast, I had a cup of Matcha green tea. My Mum wrote her shopping list. At about 10:30am I went out to the shop. It was really sunny out. I got to the end of my drive and looked at the sign. It said "FOOTPATH AHEAD CLOSED." So I crossed over the road infront of my house instead of further up. It's a very steep slope over the road. I got to the shop, and as soon as I got in there I was immediately looking for pancakes for my Mum. I went to get the TV magazines as usual, then went round and got some chocolate croissants for my Mum and Syd for their supper tonight. But I couldn't see any pancakes. I saw some tortillas again, but no pancakes. I got a snickers and some fudge sweets for Syd. Then I went round and got some strawberries. Then I went scanning the shelves and chill cabinets looking for pancakes, but could I find any? No, I could not! I treated myself to another notebook, and then I went and got the milk. Then I went off to pay. It came to just over £13 without club card, and just over £12 with club card. Then I set off for home. I turned into my road and preceded towards my house. But before I knew it I'd forgotten that it said the footpath was closed, and I forgot to stay on that side of the road to cross over nearer my house! I realised too late that Id crossed the road and was going the usual way! Fortunately, no-one was working on the footpath at the time, and there were no workmen around, so I quickly got to my house, dodging a thing in the path probably covering a hole and dodging the sign saying footpath closed! I got to my house quick and got inside with haste! When I got in I went to give my Mum her change, club card and shopping list, and tell her the bad news that I couldn't get any pancakes! I just stood there with a sombre look on my face, and she said, You're kidding? I just shrugged. She said, Not even the Scottish ones? I said, No. All I could see were tortillas! She's got an idea she might get Syd to take her to the big Tesco to see if they can get some! So I unpacked the groceries and put them away, and now I'm watching Homes Under the Hammer again! What are you lot getting up to today? I hope you are all well. Have a nice day.
