I've been down town shopping again today. I went to the toilet by the Cathedral again first. This time the usual toilets were open, and I propped the door open with the door wedge again. Then I went to the photo expert shop again, and there was a different lady in there today. I got my new 30 Print deal card, and I decided to have 30 pictures printed today. After I'd had them printed I asked if the photocopier was working, and the lady said it wasn't. She said they were waiting for an engineer and it should be done for this afternoon, but I said I'd come back next week.
After that I went to Holland and Barrett and got some pink liquorice. They were on buy one get one half price today, so I got 2. After I'd paid for those I went to the pharmacy shop to hand my Mum's repeat prescription in.
My Mum didn't want anything from the down town Tesco today, so I decided to go to the Oxfam bookshop again to see if they had any more books about Wales. I managed to find 4, so I bought them all, and it came to £10.96p exactly! I always seem to go in and buy up all their books about Wales!
When I'd finished in the Oxfam bookshop I went to Iceland (the shop not the country) and I got the usual, a Chinese Style Chicken curry for Syd, a Sweet and Sour chicken for my Mum and a paella. I wanted my sea bass aswell today, but they didn't have the ones that I usually have. I usually have packets of 2, 3 packets for £10. Instead I found packets of 4 sea bassa (I don't know what the difference is), but they were still 3 for £10. So I got those and then I went to pay.
Then I went home (via the toilet by the Cathedral). When I got home the car was not on the drive, so I presumed Syd had gone to fetch my Mum from the house group that meets at Church. So I went in and unpacked the groceries and put them away. Then I put Mum's change and shopping list on the coffee table for her. As soon as I'd done that they came back.
I'm now sitting watching the telly again, and I'm just about to have my lunch. (A banana and a packet of meat free bites).
What are you lot getting up to today?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day.

@sharonelton Well I got to go to Belfast and do a big shop in Sainsbury’s yesterday!! The shops here in Larne really do leave me depressed. It is a dark and mean little town but I love my back garden which is currently exuberating with colour thanks to the blooming of tulips etc that I planted.

I'm glad you got to go to Belfast and do a big shop in Sainsbury's. Sorry you don't like the shops where you are. I'm glad you love your backgarden though, and those tulips really look nice.
