We Went Shopping Today,

I parked in the Lidl car park,


 Diana queued to go inside,

 I walked to Sainsburys, both queues relatively small, I nearly forgot to buy my parking ticket, some one reminded me that unlike Croydon, Bromley council still wanted its pound of flesh as Bromley did not cancel its car park fees during the corovirus crisis,

and I had no wish to have one of the traffic wardens do a victory dance as they issue tickets to wrong doers, as this one does in Bromley, when he issued a ticket a few weeks ago,

the dancing traffic warden received a good reception when he appeared in the Daily Mail, The Sun the Telegraph and others, note to self, do not illegally park in Bromley! I have no wish to make his day!

 the good news is that the last time we shopped, there was only white wine for sale, Diana bought 4 boxes, but this time red was on offer too, so Diana bought 4 boxes of red, that should see me through to the end of the lockdown!

 in the afternoon, tea and cake, we watched a few quiz shows in the afternoon, also a double helping of the Red Bull Soap Box Challenge,

 for our evening meal a selection of cold cuts,

 'Cheers!', with a sherry, 

 then time for a sake,

 carefully does it,

 another 'Cheers!',

 for our main course,

 pork with all of the trimmings, 

 followed by a dessert of frosted arctic roll with fruit and ice cream,

 delicious,

 one of Diana's succulents is still flowering, 

 strange looking flowers,

 the top still to flower,

 whilst the first to flower at the bottom of the stem have already finished,

then a bit of a drama, a huge flying insect flew into the room and decided to make the interior of one of the ceiling lights its resting place, after listening to music for most of the evening, it was next one each from Sherlock Holmes and Poirot, then for us we were off to bed.
