Today's trip to the little Tesco.

I went to the little Tesco again this morning, but I went later than usual because Homes Under the Hammer was on early because of the football and I wanted to watch that first.
The weather app said 49% chance of rain, so I put my coat in the trolley just in case but didn't put it on. I went out and it was spitting in the air a bit but it wasn't much and it didn't bother me much. I thought if it comes down heavy I'll put my coat on.
I had a letter to post first, so I went to the post box to post that, then I headed off to the shop. When I got in, I got my basket and put it on the trolley as usual. I then looked for the telly magazines. I thought they hadn't got them for a minute because they weren't were they usually are, but then I saw them hiding behind the Radio Times. Then I got 3 by mistake so I had to put one back.
I then went and got a bounty bar for my step-dad. My Mum wanted me to look for a couple of Belgian buns for her and my step-dad instead of the egg custard tarts. I couldn't get any Belgian buns, but I got some cinnamon swirls instead, and put them in a paper bag that was provided. I then got a bag of jelly babies.
After that I got a bag of pears, some red grapes and some strawberries. Then I got a box of Alpen with no added sugar for my Mum. All I had to get then was the milk. I got 2 bottles and then I went and paid. It came to just over £16.
When I went out it was still spitting a bit, but I didn't mind that. When I got home my step-dad had gone out somewhere because the car had gone, which suited me fine as it meant I had more room for the trolley!
I went in and told my Mum about not being able to get Belgian buns, but she was perfectly happy with the cinnamon swirls.
I unpacked the groceries and put them away. Then I sat down to watch the telly. Jeremy Vine was on at the time, on Channel 5. I'm now watching The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross on Sky Arts (Freeview Channel 11)
What are you lot getting up to?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day.

@sharonelton Thanks. It's a routine visit. We are going to the Texas Roadhouse. I'm going to have chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and a salad.

@LindaOHio Oh, that's good. I'm glad it's nothing serious.
I hope you enjoy/enjoyed your trip to the Texas Roadhouse, and your chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and salad.

Good luck at your doctors appointment. Is it a routine check up, or have you got to go in for something specific?
Where will you go to eat and what will you have?

What is brioche bread? Sorry for my ignorance.
I'm glad you like Belgian buns and cinnamon swirls. They're for my Mum and step-dad.

@sharonelton Brioche is a French bread, a cross between a pastry and bread. This is because the bread is enriched with butter and sugar, very tasty.

@sharonelton I’ve been to big Tesco as well today. And I walked a few miles and rested in the library where a man had fallen asleep and was snoring.

@sharonelton Even worse that the snoring gentleman is the shrill and very talkative librarian.

I hope you enjoyed your trip to Tesco. I also hope you enjoyed your walk.
The guy who was snoring should have been told off for not being silent in the library!

I'm glad the cinnamon swirls worked instead of the Belgian buns.
My morning is going well. I got my Bible study lesson read for this morning, played my games, took a short nap, had my shower, now I'm eating. Soon I will get dressed and then head out the door.

@sharonelton It's about resisting the devil and he will flee. As I studied it, I saw that it went right along with my Bible study this morning, posted here.

Thank you very much. Yes, my Mum is pleased with those.
I'm glad your morning is going well. What is your Bible study lesson this morning?
I hope the rest of your day goes well too.

@JudyEv I know, but it's so relaxing! He should be prescribed on the NHS to people with high blood pressure!

Yes, there is. I enjoy watching Homes Under the Hammer and The Joy of Painting. But The Joy of Painting is so relaxing, I sometimes drift off to sleep while it's on!

I am doing better today. I had a really bad headache yesterday. I took some medicine and it went away last night. Sunday we went to Petsmart and Walmart. At Walmart, my mother got me some jeggings. I can't wear one pair of jeans anymore and I wanted some to replace those. We also got a new scratching post for our cats. The old one is getting ratty. I got some strawberries too and some new tea to try.

I am glad you are doing better today. I don't like headaches either.
Sounds like you had a good shopping trip. I don't like wearing jeans. I used to wear some when I was younger but I didn't like them, they were too stiff for me. I prefer soft fabrics.
I'm sure your cats will enjoy their new scratching post. I can imagine them now.
I hope you enjoy your strawberries and tea.
Have a nice day.
