Not a lot happened yesterday. I visited my friend P, and came back with a load of battered windfalls which need processing straight away. She doesn't do anything with them at all, which is a waste of good food. Still, she's really good at DIY and was removing the tiles from her en-suite bathroom when I arrived.
I did a little more of my embroidery, but can't work on it too long or my shoulder begins to hurt from my looking down so much. I'd forgotten to do my head to the side and press down exercises to stretch the neck muscles, so need to get back to those.
Tea was a container marked "Chicken Risotto" but there wasn't much chicken in it and freezing it seems to have made it tasteless. I forced it down. 2nd half will be going on the compost heap later . . . At least I have room in the freezer for some stewed apples now.
I tried this the other night. It smelled a bit - strange - herb-wise when I heated it, and it tasted like it smelt. That went on the compost heap too. Delectable it WASN'T! |Inedible more like.
I had to go into a local mini-supermarket yesterday, as I fancied a chunk of crusty loaf with cheese at lunchtime. I got a short baguette. Turned out it was half price. Full price was 82p. The girl serving me had to call to one of the other assistants to ask what was 50% of 82p? Blimey, I was hopeless at geometry and algebra - couldn't see the point! - but I know how to halve something, do percentages and can add up quite long lists, subtract, multiply etc and when I can't sleep I count from 300 backwards in 13s . . . I have a feeling she won't last long there if such simple arithmetic is beyond her comprehension.
I sorted out some stuff to go to auction, so that's a positive. Today I plan to go in Keith's workshop and have a bit of a clearout. I may be gone some time . . .
