For Some Strange Reason,

Tesco Lotus does not sell minced beef,

 so today off to Friendship, to buy some for this evenings chilli con carne, checking out I noticed something I meant to mention yesterday, when checking out of Tesco Lotus a strange thing happened, that in all of the time that I have shopped there has never happened before, of the 6 tills that had an assistant 2 of the tills had no customers! normally on a Friday at lunch time there are 10 or more tills manned with 2 or 3 customers waiting at each one, but not yesterday, the assistants at 2 lines literally had nothing to do, and when we were finished there were no customers behind us, the whole store was spookley nearly empty, compared to all of my previous trips there,

and the same thing at Friendship, if you have not shopped there, the aisle are quite narrow, so it is a bit of a trial getting past the trolleys of fellow shoppers, but not today, we just sailed around, hardly a shopper in sight, and no one waiting at the tills, shopping bliss!

 we arrived home just in time,  

 the heavens opened up, not much wind but the rain just fell down, so much so we could hardly see the condominium on the left,

sans rain,

 in the evening we ate out on the balcony,

 Diana's delicious chilli con carne,

 and to round the meal off, a few chocolates, courtesy of Jim and Cher, we listen to music for the rest of the evening, dare I say it? singing along to a few of them, pity the neighbours! and with melodies ringing in our ears we were off to bed.
