Travelling On

Karmacat

Hi peb, yes, it's a thing, apparently - if your supermarket sells online, you can look at the ingredients list on there, but I don't think Lidl do, so the actual packet is the only way I've no Lidl in my town, so I can't help there, sorry.

I'm feeling quite grumpy today ... I've absolutely no right to be, there are just a lot of little hen-pecks coming at me.  The latest is happening right now (and is hardly a hen peck at all, to be honest).  A meter reader just called!  To let someone read the meter, I'd have to let them into my understairs cupboard, which is off the living room.  Nope, not gonna happen.  What I *will* do is take meter readings, that's fair enough.  So many bitty things to do, that aren't associated with my February list or my Big List.  Grrrr.  I'll have to get on with some of them today.

Sorry to hear you have the grumps!  You can only do one thing at a time, so don't let them overwhelm

Thanks for that.

As for grumpy, I'm with you.  🤗

**waves regally, somewhat less grumpy**

Yep, at a certain point, I just shut off, bother all of it, I don't care, I'm just going to look after myself.  So I did, and went a nice longish walk in the afternoon, managed not to get rained on.  I aimed for my lovely big charity shop that supports the local hospice.  I thought it was just as a general goal, but pleasantly surprised to find that although they're closed, of course, they now have a clothes bank outside that will take clothes and shoes.  Hurray!  My nice new armchair (from the same shop) is submerged in things I'd like to donate to charity shops - and this one is a lot closer than the banks at Sainsbo, which I'll still need to go to, but anyway ... one thing at a time.

I may just watch a dvd

Oooh - good find on the clothes bank, Kc

Ooh, what a coincidence - we realised our local supermarket has a clothes bank yesterday! Yay!

Glad you're feeling a teensy bit less grumpy at least x

Hiya!  Yes, even less grumpy now    thank you.  The Hunger Games was my dvd of choice, I love Katniss, so I watched half of that.  Between Egyptology and astronomy, there are some Zoom meetings over the next few weeks, which will be good, I'll sort myself out, and I have a phone call tomorrow afternoon with an offline friend But tomorrow morning, if I can, I'll take whatever clothes and shoes I can to the clothes bank.

Glad you’re a bit less grumpy KC. Be kind to yourself. We are all on an up and down rollercoaster with emotions during lockdown.

Our local firestation (retained of course) has a shoe bank. Marvellous. Right opposite the Morries site
