The daffodils at Aldi looked as if they’d been packed in a box for weeks so I left them where they were and dithered by the flower stall on the market. Daffs or Tulips, Tulips or Daffs?
The tulips were gorgeous colours – so tulips it was. If it’s grey skies all week I have a bit of colour right beside me in the living room.
Second shopping trip in February and another week of replacing things used, to build up a useful store in the freezer and cupboards (prep for being snowed in for weeks or WWIII!?) Cabbage, tomatoes, pears, apples and grapes. Butter and Willow spread, cheese and milk. I’m building up a stock of ground coffee to use in my new machine, so 3 different packs. I looked for savoury biscuits to eat with cheese that had the fewest ingredients and came home with Aldi oatcakes. Also there are a packet of cashews, two sachets of cheese sauce powder, a jar of olives and the tube of ‘guilty pleasure’ Pringles….sometimes I just crave something crunchy!
Still no meat as I’m still eating mostly my batch made meals from the freezer, and only a couple of things that could be called a UPF. Total spend £30.17
I picked up two books from the For Sale shelves in Stowmarket library. They sell off old books and get books donated to sell too.. On the left Rumer Godden – Peacock Spring. I know I read Greengage Summer many moons ago and I just liked the cover of this one. On the right is a follow up to Ring of Bright Water, which I was sure I’d read but it’s not in my Book-of-Books-Read. Maybe we read it at school? But I have read Island of Dreams by Dan Boothby which is all about Maxwell and his home and writing.
