Pop goes my NSD today, but I don't begrudge it as I need to pick up a couple of bits for tonight dinner with my friends. I promised to cook them curry and what's a curry without chopped fresh coriander? Also they are big tea drinkers so I shall need milk, which we don't drink.

It does not look like I shall manage my 10 this month...
