August 2017 (Tuesday) .... 08.00
I’d say that this is a perfect ‘retail therapy’ morning; it’s
grey and wet looking.... not actually raining, but the

East wind has brought a
bank of cloud in from the North Sea so we could have Scotch Mist: yes, this definitely calls for evasive action. Sainsbury’s it is this morning; and, with
a bit of luck, the weather might improve by afternoon, so that I can get out to
play work.
11.30 Oh my word ... that was one enjoyable
morning of ‘retail therapy’. I remembered to take the list with me today,....
but that didn’t hamper me one little
bit! The ‘Emergency Ration’ tin is full to the ‘eyeballs’,
and, I found new things that I haven’t tried before. Yes I did enjoy myself in Sainsbury’s: I had
to go up to the Cafe to recover from ‘checking out’.... oh it was my favourite
Check out lassie .... I might be ‘in love’ actually.

Anyway I had a good time... and I remembered
to get Cornflakes ... a major ingredient in Melting Moments.
21.30 Although overcast for most of the day, it
has been warm and humid ... almost as if it is building up to thunder; in fact the sky has been an ominous grey for

I was down there without
a jacket; I did have one tied round my
waist just in case it did rain.
According
to the weather forecasters we are going to waken up to rain tomorrow morning,
but it should brighten up later in the afternoon. Jimmy was on the phone saying that he was
short of his ‘porridge’ cartons so, I might be shopping again, this time in the
‘Bargain Store’, because that’s where Jimmy buys his porridge cartons,. ...
and, we’ll probably ‘cross the road’ and have a cuppa in Sainsbury’s. If
the weather doesn’t clear up in the afternoon I’ll make some Melting moments
now that I have all the ingredients.
