Good morning everyone. I'm just catching up on here! I went and collected Cooper first thing, then had breakfast, did a bit of tidying up and am now on the second load of washing. With being without the dryer last week I left most things, especially towels etc.
It's a little bit brighter now, although raining again first thing, and it's still far too cold for June.
Glamm - your poor DS. I hope his ankle heals up quickly. It's a good job he's got such a kind and thoughtful mum. I don't suppose your neighbour Jim shops for clothes very often, so the shirts will come in handy for him. Garden centres are such a temptation. My OH has never been interested until this year, and he actually chose plants yesterday. I think he thinks they will flower for ever, but they're very pretty at the moment.
Willow's little garden sounds wonderful.
Oma - as always your MIL makes me smile. Fancy people letting her put too much on her plate for her to eat it all! Still, I bet she tucked in and enjoyed the outing.
Lizzie - I think the supermarket shelves were empty because it was Monday morning, and Sainsburys has always had a logistics problem either with delivery to the shop, or getting stuff onto the shelves. There were notices up saying they were sorry but they are experiencing 'high demand'!!!
I'm not sure about other supermarkets in the UK, but Morrisons have a very good 'reduced' system for perishables, especially meat and fish, for goods on their use by date or very close to it. I often used to get fantastic bargains which I'd stick in the freezer for Eva. I know someone who goes round Lidls/Aldis (not sure which) buying up heavily reduced fruit and vegetables and gives them away.
Gem - I hope you're enjoying your day on the beach today, and the weather is good.
Nanto - what a lovely cheerful graphic. I can almost hear that bird singing its head off.
