Just received a blood spot collection kit from NHS.

Is this for your new job as a CSI trainee?

Afternoon snack was some Flamin' Hot (tm) Monster Munch.

They have a nice spicy warmth to them but I'd not say they were 'flamin' by any stretch of the imagination.

Oh ok. I'll drivel a bit then.

Close, as a Covid research volunteer.

Apparently Specsavers are opening a branch inside the big Sainsbury's. That's handy, as I can use my free hearing aid battery vouchers there, giving me one less reason to go into the city centre

Though I should probably go into the city centre more often really, if only to save money by buying stuff in the market rather than at Sainsbury's

Odd.

It works the other way round here.

Buy stuff in the market to spend more money.

Veg generally are cheaper in the market; for meat, it maybe works out about the same price but the quality is a bit better

Apart from birthday & xmas cards.

Since I don't send 'em any more being in full on Scrooge mode, I save even more.

Bah! Fecking Humbug!

Are there no prisons?

Are there no workhouses?

Bah!

I believe there's a lot of cheap clothing available on the market too, though I've never bought any from there. Given the number of clothes factories in the city, one would expect there to be some deals going; plenty of things like overruns, seconds, and what-have-you that factory owners want to be rid of, and plenty of market traders willing to take them cheap. And I suppose if your factory is between orders for the big companies they supply, you can switch everybody to short production runs to flog on the market just to make a few extra bob in the meantime.
