Early today as I was thinking through something confusing and figured leaving it for a bit of time in the subconscious might help. Also, I'm finding QuickSight a bit boring TBH
Plus it means I can, if I so desire, pop down to Sainsbury's tonight and still be back before dark; might as well make the most of the light evenings for the remaining few weeks we have them
I finally got around to taking a bunch of bags of old clothes with me, for the Oxfam recycling things in Sainsbury's car park. After taking the car down the M69 and back to get it charged, I headed for the farthest corner of the car park, which was deserted, and started carting my bags over to them.
Turned out they were both almost full, and I thought I might have to bring a couple of bags away with me. But then I found that if you bang the swivelling drawer thing a bit, it helps the contents settle, so I was eventually able to get it all in
And then to shopping, where certain things that were missing from recent deliveries and in-person shopping now seem to be in plentiful supply, while other things seem to be running out. I got what I needed anyway, including the new Viz, so that was all right.
Home again, and I even managed to fit everything in the fridge and freezer without much trouble, though mainly because I took care not to buy too much that needed to go in them
So now dinner is cooking in the Remoska, and I can finally relax in the knowledge that the corner of the bedroom that was full of bags of old clothes is now available for filling with more bags of old clothes just as soon as I get around to giving them a final wash to get the mustiness off
Oh, and we had some moderately heavy rain late afternoon, but it only lasted for about fifteen minutes. And there was a glimmer of a rainbow in the direction of the M1 as I was heading back up the M69, but I never encountered the rain that was refracting it

And as soon as I'd posted that I thought "What's that noise outside?" and realised it's raining again
Tea has been pork chops with chips, peas and gravy; and it was delicious
The Remoska does a great job of cooking chops, but these ended up very slightly overdone as I'd forgotten how long it takes to do them. About forty-five minutes if you like your chops the way I do, it seems
