    Ocado have red lentils. I could add a bag to my next order and post them up to you?

      I went to the one up the road a couple of days ago:

      No rice, not even in sacks; he said everyone’s been after it.

        Possibly overkill, but thanks anyway

        I’ll be trying various other places tomorrow; I want to go to M&S and Sainsbury’s for various bits, and if the worst comes to the worst I’ll even go to Asda. And there’s a Lidl nearby that I’ve never been to, and several Aldis around the city

            Late lunch: a Greggs steak bake, via Iceland and home baked

              Just gone for a walk up to the Aldi where I had to queue.

              Could have gone to M&S as there wasn't a queue but my shopping list was very Aldi centric (I prefer their posh yogurts and we only really needed toilet roll and bread)
              merely at clientco for the entertainment

                Lots of good stuff in Aldi, you just have to know what to buy.
                My steaks are actually from there, for this evening, aged Angus ones.

                Ill make a trip to the butcher next week, I still have a fair amount in my freezer from my last visit.

                  What?

                  The cow died of old age?



                  In other news, the Freecell score was 93% today, which is rather more acceptable, running average still 83% (wot a surprise).

                  Turns out I've lost 3000 and won 14,000 odd.

                  And this on a game I've been playing since Win32s for Win3.1 came out.

                    Steaks now rubbed with my simple marinade.

                    Mrs MarkyMark has prepared cauliflower cheese, a particular favourite, which will be matched with Jersey Royals and a few Petit Pois.

                      The buds on the chestnut tree are budding nicely, and it’s gone quite Simpsonesque out there - up to 12° now too
