    Just had a big dinner with 10 meat balls, polenta.

    Time for some scotch. Bloody freezing here in Leeds

      That's the shopping done.

      With hindsight, I should have made two or even three trips in from the car, rather than carrying it all in one go. My knackered rib area is now complaining in very strong terms

      The self checkout at Sainsbury's went up the creek, refusing to accept that a packet of digestives was in the bagging area, yet complaining that it had been removed when it was.

      The attendant student tried about twenty times to get it to work, but whenever he entered the magic code it didn't respond to the Enter button, eventually timing out and going back to complaining at me.

      I had to abandon it in the end and start again on the next till.

      Naturally, the biscuits that caused the problem were the next-to-last thing, so I had to unpack everything else as well

      So much for the Rise of the Machines

        On a more positive note, you are home and probably a few feet away from a bottle of wine!

          I think I'll skip the pub tonight. It's cold, and I'm sore, and there is beer here, and anyway, I've not even had any dinner yet.

          I see sausages in my immediate future

              Dinner is done! Spag Bol or Fusibol to be more exact.

              Since I chucked a slosh of red in the sauce it would seem rude to just leave the bottle.

                Dog is paws up on her massive pillow, log burner is roaring away & Mrs P has an early running session tomorrow and so has retired for the evening meaning I have the sofa and remote to myself.

                    In other news, there may be something to this Atkins diet thing, coz after all that stuff I had for tea, I've not been at all peckish.

                    Though I've had some port*, so the big toe may be playing up tomorrow.


                    *found an old bottle in the cupboard where ZeitMater had hidden it. I'm gradually drinking all this stuff. Thankfully I've not found any baileys.
