By special request, I am to try and spin an exciting novel out of my weekly trip to the supermarket yesterday! Door to door, all done and dusted in less than an hour, though quite busy with shelves being re-stocked, and pickers filling orders.
Had a Whatsapp chat with a Gransnet friend, though we hadn't much to say, we thought. Then ended up talking about both having been at the Powderham Castle filming of Flog It, and surprisingly it was screened on TV at tea time, which caused a brief flurry of excitement among the group members.
After lunch, as tutor sessions for H have been shuffled around, I walked out alone, to return a library book* and pick up my medication. Easterlies making it viciously cold and so misty I could barely make out the cruise ships at anchor, though there had been 5 basking in the sunshine the day before.
I wasn't in any rush to get back, so I made a large loop down to the prom and then up the cliff walk to extend the exercise a little.
Design challenge on TV later. I was vastly amused by the young man who seemed to say he wasn't expecting the beach hut to be at the sea-side! Also watched the DNA series from Stacey Dooley. What a lot of tortured souls in the world!
Roobarb it is great how you fill your days with art and gardening, both occupations are very creative and rewarding.
Caroline, very sorry to hear about your friend, and hope she makes a swift recovery from the operation. The fish cakes sound delicious. I attempted cauliflower rice and butter bean patties a few days ago..... bubble and squeak kind of result, but an interesting experiment.
*"The Four Winds" by Kristen Hannah; about life for migrants from the Dust Bowl of Texas after the Great Depression, trying to make a new life in California. Amazing social history, of which I knew nothing.
