I went to the big Tesco again on Wednesday. I got rid of the soft recycle as usual, and went up on the lift. The first thing I got was an Artists and Illustrators magazine. Then I got 2 bottles of water. Then I went and got myself a tube of toothpaste.
After that I went to see if I could get a navy T-Shirt or top to wear to the gig on Saturday (which was today). I wondered around for ages before I found something that was anything like suitable. I got a top in Medium size as it didn't have actual sizes on like 12 or 14!
Next I went and got some pads for my Mum, and then I went to the fruit and veg section. I got some blueberries, spring onions, a red pepper and a grapefruit for me and 2 lots of strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes, easy peelers, bananas and walnuts for my Mum. I also got some flax seeds because my friend Dawn from Church said they were good for symptoms of the menopause. I managed to get 1 tub of edamame beans so I'm saving them for tomorrow.
Then I went and got my yoghurt and the milk and puddings, and I also got myself some kombucha. Then I got some grated cheese and some Lurpak lighter for my Mum. After that I went and got her some sliced gherkins.
I got myself some brown and wild rice, then I went to the canned isle. Syd wanted 6 tins of baked beans but they only come in 4 so I got 4. I also got him a small tin of salmon, a tin of spring vegetable soup, and a chow mein pot noodle.
Then I went to the cakes and I got them 2 jam and cream things, and I got a Tesco's finest chocolate cake. Then I went and got some pringles and crisps and I had to use my walking stick to reach the crisps down.
Then I got some Matcha green tea T-bags and some camomile T-bags for me, and some chocolate digestives and some wagon wheels for Syd. I then went and got myself some grape and nut cereal.
Then it was off to the frozen section and I managed to get some vegan magnum ice lollies again. I also got myself some frozen sweetcorn. Then, round the next frozen isle, I got some fish fingers, some battered cod and some of the posher battered fish.
I went round and got some toilet paper, and then I went to pay. When I sat on the bench again it was still only 4:00pm, even though I'd spent ages walking round the fashion section!
At around 4:25pm I went down on the lift. Syd came to pick me up as usual and then we went home. When I got home I gave Mum her change, club card and shopping list. Then I unpacked the groceries and put them away. Then I had my dinner and watched some telly.
After that I got ready to go to Tuneless Choir again.
What have you lot been getting up to?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day.

Yes. I have 3 actually. Mine, my Mum's and Syd's, although my Mum writes hers on the back of Syds.

@Ineeddentures No, I don't think I could do it without a shopping list either.

@sharonelton I did my shop in Carrefour supermarket in Bayeux. Nothing exciting, just milk and water and biscuits.

I'm wondering what 'easy peelers' are and guessing they're oranges. Am I right?

Nothing much going on here. Tomorrow cousin #2 comes and brings my groceries, picks up my prescription, makes sandwiches and takes out the trash.
