I might be going shopping on my own tomorrow.
Mum is tired and she wants a rest.
If I do go shopping on my own I will take the trolley.
If Mum comes too we might go in the car and just take bags, because the trolley doesn't fit in the boot and we don't want to ruin the car seats or door frame getting the trolley in the back seat.
I want to go to Holland & Barrett for some grain coffee, some Kambucha and some brown rice syrup if I can get it but if not maple syrup will do. The brown rice syrup is for my Japanese pancakes for Tuesday for the dressing/sauce.
I've got a sandwich to eat for lunch tomorrow so I might find a bench to sit on and eat that.
I also want to go to the works for a wooden box to paint, and maybe a sketch book to practise drawing.
I will get all the things that Mum wants. I won't need to get a cucumber because we got one on Tuesday that hasn't been cut up yet, but I will get some radishes.
And then I need to go to Iceland. I need some more sea bass because after today I'll only have one left, and some garlic bread. Oh, and some ice cream, my Step-Dad likes the fancy one with the twirly chocolate.
I might be going on my own because Mum is tired or she can't be bothered or a mixture of both. She said she'd "gone off" going down town. But she stIll might change her mind.

Iceland is a shop in our high street which has a lot of frozen food!

Yes, it's more peaceful that way, plus you can go at your own pace and don't have to keep waiting for your mother to catch up!

Yes, I take a list. I would definitely forget something if I didn't take a list

Hope you have a good shopping trip tomorrow. Hopefully everything will be in stock. We have shortages here in the States.

@sharonelton There are tons of jobs available; but for some reason people are not taking them. There's quite a shortage of drivers which leads to shortages of grocery items, etc.

Oh, I like going shopping but I like to go at my own pace and not have to keep waiting for my Mum to catch up because she can't walk fast any more. It's when I'm going slow waiting for my Mum that my feet start to ache and my shoes start to rub my toes!
