    Shopping done!

    Quite a rewarding trip, all in all. I didn't need much in the way of groceries, though what I did get still seemed to cost an awful lot for what it was

    But I treated myself to a new set of bedding. I've basically got two sets (plus a spare with a fitted sheet that isn't quite deep enough for a modern mattress), with one set being of a heavy weave and the other light. So it makes sense, now I have plenty of storage space for such things, to have two heavy sets for winter use, and I can get another light one when summer rolls around

    And Sainsbury's are doing the Nectar Price thing on tubs of Quality Street, though only the smaller plastic ones, not the bigger tins. Our Mum used to get us each a tub of either them or some near-equivalent like Celebrations or Roses every year, but with her gone, I didn't know if anybody would step into the breach; so I've done it. I'm not letting anybody else know in advance, as I'm hoping at least one of my siblings has the same idea and we all get loads

    I did buy one of the bigger tins for myself as well, just in case

    Only mask in the place, as usual, except for the amiable dark-haired lady who mans the self-checkouts

          The garage says the scary looking list of things on the MOT advisory do not need doing. I am a much happier bunny.

          One item could do with a bit of undersealing, which I will be book in for the new year.

              The bed is airing while the new bedding goes through its first wash and dry

                Laundry has been done here too, today. Although not bedding. Far too many socks to pair BrilloPad would have understood my torment.

                  Tea: rack of ribs and chips

                  The bed has been remade as much as possible; the duvet cover is still tumbling
