Lunch was microwave ready meal chicken tikka massala from Tesco Finest range. Above average for a microwave meal to be fair to it, but they do tend to be better when nuked from chilled instead of frozen.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

The local vicar was in the queue - but dropping off left over Lindt easter bunnies from the church, so he was his usual friendly and polite self - no idea how he remembers my name, he only sees me at births/deaths and the village fete.Comment

Shopping done, brought home, brought in, put away, hands washed
Saisnbury’s queue was only about twenty minutes. Inside, people seem to be getting better at keeping their distance. And apart from flour, everything I sought was there - not that I really needed flour much, but I could have done with a bag Just In Case if there’d been any. I didn’t bother looking for pasta, but thinking back, I don’t remember noticing a large gap down that way when I went past.
The in-store bakery, which had reduced its range, is starting to expand it again, so I was able to get soft white finger rolls
No sesame bloomer though, so I had to make do with an ordinary one
Plenty of beer and wine though, and Badger’s Poacher’s Choice, which is one of my favourite bottled ales, is reduced to £1.50/bottle at the moment
M&S’s queuing system was extremely deceptive. The queue from the exterior Food Hall entrance went down the side of the store, with a chap at the head controlling admissions. But then, when you were let in in, the way into the Food Hall was barred, and you had to join a second, internal queue along the side of the men’s clothing department to get to its in-store entrance
Fair enough, that entrance is wider, but it comes as a bit of a disappointment
The internal queue, once it was past the jeans, also snaked back and forth past displays of towels, decorative glassware, scented moisturisers, cut flowers, and so forth. I assume this is the M&S equivalent of putting the sweets by the checkout queueComment
