I have just been to the little Tesco again. It's lovely and warm out again today, so I didn't wear a coat. There was a bit of a breeze on the way, but less so on the way back.
As I was just coming to the edge of our road, a guy was coming down the other way walking his dog. I don't know what breed it was, but it was one of those short haired ones, too big to be a pug, too small to be a boxer. But he was very friendly and came and sniffed at me and my trolley. I stroked him a bit on his head, but then his owner said, Come on, she doesn't want to play. How does he know I didn't want to play?
Anyway, the guy and his dog carried on, and I turned the corner onto the street where the shop is. When I got in the shop I got 2 TV magazines as usual, then I got some chocolate croissants for my Mum and Syd. I got Syd a bounty bar today, I think he's gone off the snickers again.
My Mum wanted some sliced buns, but I couldn't find any of the ones my Mum has. I did get some small cakes, Bakewell tarts, then I decided to treat myself to a Yorkie bar for a change. And it was a duo! (Two in the same packet).
My Mum wanted 3 small bananas, and luckily I managed to find 3 separate, so I didn't have to pull 3 off a bigger bunch. Then I got 1 packet of strawberries.
Then I went round to the milk. My Mum only wanted 1 bottle of milk today. She also put on her shopping list those pork meat ball things that I'm not allowed to say the name of! But I'd already told her I didn't think they stocked them in the little Tesco. But she put them l on her shopping list anyway! But, lo and behold, they didn't have any!
So then I went to pay. With club card it came to just over £12.
Then I set off for home in the heat again, and like I said, there was less of a breeze on the way back.
When I got home I gave Mum her change, shopping list and club card, then I unpacked the groceries and put them away.
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.

Its also sunny here from where I am earlier.
Anyway maybe the guy said that because he doesn't want his dog to disturb you more.
I went to the cafe earlier.

It was sunny here again mostly, except for a little bit near midday where it chucked it down! It had cheered up though by the time it came for me to walk to the Tuneless Choir, and the sun had come out again.
Oh, I didn't mind. I was enjoyed having a stroke!
I hope you enjoyed it at the cafe
