My coffee pods and smoked haddock from Lidl. Oh, and while I was there, I bought a dozen large eggs. £2.39. Other places are asking around the £4 mark - if they’ve got them!

Then, a quick nip in to Sainsbury’s and picked up some wild bird seed. Completely forgot what I actually went out for - Digestive biscuits. Going to have to go back out now but need to wait until Mrs Mottie comes home to use the other car - a camera clocks you going in and out of Sainsburys. 2 hours free parking but only once a day - go back again in the same car and you get a ticket no matter how long you’ve been in there for the first time!

Won't be eating any of that foreign muck.

My coffee pods and smoked haddock from Lidl.

Snap on the trip to Lidl, but not for haddock - I'm well stocked in the freezer, enough for several weeks. I just needed milk, but not worth the trip just for milk, so I went with a list, plus see what took my fancy whilst I was there.

I do a good omelette, but you can't make a decent omelette if they stick to the pan. New pan not that old, 'Hairy Bikers' with a still perfect none-stick grey finish was sticking, despite being careful with it, so time to look out for something better. Lidl had some Salter Megastone omelette size none-stick pans in, guaranteed 10 years, which they claim can be used with metal utensils, so I though - why not. I already had a griddle pan and a large frying pan with a similar sort of speckled finish, and it seems much more robust.

Then, I take you won’t want any of the water of life either?

That would be cider in these parts.

But I suppose I could make an exception for a wee dram.

The original Gaelic name for whisky is Uisge-Beatha which actually means water of life.

Isn't that foreign muck too?

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Isn't that foreign muck too?

Yes of course, anything oustide Zomerzet Wurzel Land is. But as said, I would be willing to make an exception. Only to be sociable.

4 litres of Parrafin for my greenhouse heater. £11.50 - that more expensive than petrol!

When we lived in Sydney our flat had no heating, so we bought a National Panasonic paraffin heater , I used to buy "Kero" from the local petrol station, they had a vending machine that dispensed into your own container. We brought it home with us but could not find replacement wicks.

Took Mrs CB into work today, had a look around various shops in the big city, thermal long sleeved vest for me, 1Kg mealworms for my feathered friends, bottle of Port as recommended on Saturday Kitchen & a tank of diesel for the van.

A meal out.
