Today at the church I picked up a bag of Bagels, 2 Romaine hearts and some dehydrated mango.
There’s always things like bread and veg but I like to pick something different to what I normally buy.

I'm quite miffed that we don't have a Farmfoods anywhere near here.

IN today - a pair of new garden clogs and a pair of slippers. The clogs are a bit too big but should be OK for shuffling around in the garden. I'm wearing the slippers now.

IN yesterday - 2 Big bars of fancy soap. Then I went to Aldi where they have a book swap/sale for charity. I left a bag of books and picked up a copy of Keble Martin's "New Concise British flowers" which is a classic for identifying wildflowers - illustrated with drawings not photos. Well pleased with that find.

OUT today - 41 books - unread by me! All written by James Patterson.
Every time I collected a bag of books, there seemed to be a James Patterson book in there. There are lots of different series and I didn't want to read one and find it wasn't the first in the series - so they just kept piling up. Try as I might, I couldn't match up a complete series so, I've rehomed the lot! Three carrier bags full.

IN today - some unwanted Christmas food! Three small tins of Panettone - one chocolate, one classic and one filled with pistachio cream!. Also a tin of sweet biscuits. The biscuits have a use by date of 28/11/26 - almost next Christmas. They won't last that long here!

I called in at the Church yesterday, lots of trays of bread and baguettes. I had a bloomer, farmhouse loaf and a pack of part baked baguettes.
