Like some chums here may have, I own a fetish for cutting up any white cardboard from tea boxes etc. into 4" x 3" pieces to use as lists for shopping etc.! I also leave any bits around the house for when I want to remember something, and they're call 'one-worders'!
So, today, I had some local shopping, and as is my wont, the list was duly made up on the back of a Twinings card as it's our 51st wedding anniversary on Saturday and I'm doing the cooking, so I've damn well got to get it right! The list always goes in my left-hand back pocket and my wallet goes in the front one. All felt good as I left 'The Turrets', brimming with pride!
So Growster sets off, arrives at Waitrose, and clicks the funny little green handset machine to get going, and feels for the list...
Blast! The list was yesterday's, (Sainsbury's, for some linen)! I'd left the right one at home! Hmphhhhh...
So I spent the best part of half an hour peering at everything on every shelf in Waitrose the grocers, to try and remember what was on the list!
And blow me; I got it nearly right, and only forgot some strong flour, as we've just acquired a bread machine from a daughter's generous present back in the Summer, and it's a fabulous challenge to get things right!
So hopefully, the old brain cells are still functioning - up to a point...;0)
