I've just been to the little Tesco.

So, I planned to get up at 7:30am so I could go to the shop earlier. I wanted to go to the shop at 10:00am so I'd be back for 10:30am to watch Animal Park which is about Longleat Safari Park. I was hoping to get up at 7:30am so I could be in the living room and have my tablets at 8:00am, then I would have my breakfast at 8:30am, have a cup of tea at 9:00am, get ready to go out at 9:30am and then go out to the shop at 10:00am. That was the plan. So I put my alarm on for 7:30am. When I woke up in the morning I looked at my watch and it was 8:00am! So I got up really quickly, get dressed, went to the toilet, combed my hair, and I was in the living room by 8:10am! I had my tablets, had my breakfast at 8:40am and had a cup of tea. At 9:15am I was feeling bored so I got ready to go to the shop. I actually managed to go to the shop at 9:30am! So even though I got up later than I planned, I ended up going to the shop earlier than I planned! The weather forecast said rain and I looked on my weather app and it said light rain and 48% chance of rain. It did look very dull out. (Still does.) So I put one of my macs on with the hood. I had some letters to post first. I had some competition entries to send from TV competitions, and a birthday card for my penpal in Wales. The birthday card wouldn't fit in my bag so I put it in the trolley. I got to the post box and posted the card that was in the trolley, then I turned round and started heading for the shop. When I was half way there I realised I hadn't posted the competition entries! So I decided to go back to the post box when I'd finished the shopping and post them then. When I got to the shop I got the TV magazines as usual, a bounty bar for my step-dad, some ginger nuts for me, some kit kats, and some Liquorice Allsorts and fudge for my step-dad.. Then I got 2 lots of strawberries, and some chocolate eclairs for my Mum and step-dad. I got myself a prawn layered salad like I usually get on a Wednesday. Then I got 2 bottles of milk. When I got to the till, and I'd put everything in the trolley, I asked the lady for 8 second class stamps and 4 first class stamps for my step-dad. It came to just over £31, but then with the club card and magazine discount voucher it came to just over £29! I set off for home, reminding myself to go back to the post box first. So I posted my competitions and then went home. It hadn't rained on me at all! I unpacked the groceries and now I'm sitting resting and watching Animal Park. Homes Under the Hammer will be on at 11:15am. We are going to a party this afternoon for a lady from Mum's luncheon club who is 90! I made a couscous and tofu salad yesterday. There is a lot of it, and I'm taking some of it with me to the party with a vegan yoghurt and the last of my pomegranate seeds, because they didn't know if there'd be any vegan stuff at the party so advised me to take my own. The prawn layered salad that I got today is for tonight if I'm still feeling hungry after the party. If I'm not that hungry I'll keep it for tomorrow. What are you all up to? I hope you are all well. Have a nice day.
