  • Not quite on a par with your day Liro, but Friday I decided to visit M & S another certain site told me their jeggins were the best, after reading the revews from a lady around my age group thought I would play safe, rather than order them online having to pay postage and agro of maybe returning them.  They were horrible, the fit,the material really thick cotton, was like weraing compresion bandages after variose veins surgery (no, I havent!!) fed up, off to favorite coffee shop, now the last time I visited coffee shops restaurant alone about 15 years, I should have known better, last time was gorgeous, told chef used to work at the Dorchester, cake was horrible, dry, overcooked almost to having burnt edge, was in hurry, should have returned it oh well.  Bank, blasted machine, put in card and cheque, not reconising them, or admitting I put them in, just happens man at next machine used to work there, got card and cheque returned changed machine.  Needing loo, forgot shopping mall refit, toilets demolosihed, rushing (by now) to station toilet, where car is parked, 20p in hand ready, see a sign GENTS big red letters, go over, very small letter underneath, barbers, where are the toilets over there the man says, cant figure out how you get to the oors, told you have to (now) go onto platform to get into toilets, OK, barriers (they are new) open in I go, spotted by lady of rail workforce, says I can use the toilets this time, am lucky barrier was up, they are now only for use of people getting on and off trains, what about if you are meeting someone then, come back out, barrirs close, visions of visitation by rainway police, - on the plantford no ticket, man opens barriers to let people through from train and me.  Go to Sainsbury fed up, get home say o Hubby and wheres the fabric conditioner, he says dont tell me, you left it in the shop, sort of, I actually forgot to buy it, should have stayed home.

  • Our heating's on too... better than being cold though.   :)  So not really curmudgeonly...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    The garden got a well needed soaking the past few days so I'm feeling uncurmudgeonly too.
    I'm sure I'll find something to annoy me tomorrow!

    Our heatings on too ... I switched the fire on and it blew a fuse or something so have texted electrician
    and switched the heating on ... and put the middleweight duvet on rather than the 4 tog we’ve had on the bed all summer. 
    Autumn equinox today  :/

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
