Out For Our Weekly Shopping,

I parked in the car park,

 Diana joined the queue, whilst I walked to the High Street, queues everywhere, I went to the Quality Houseware shop for some shoe laces, by the time I had queued and shopped, when I walked back to the car Diana was still outside in the queue, it is not so bad now, but in the winter cold and rain, it is going to be miserable, it is a sad fact of life that what once was a quick in and out is now a hour or more by the time you have finished queueing, I should mention we went to Homebase, to buy some gravel to put into our garden umbrella base, but the car park was almost full, something I have never seen before, the queue of about 80 or so people seemed to be going nowhere fast, so we decided not to shop,

next stop, Kingfisheries the tropical and outdoor fish shop in Croydon Road Beckenham, 

 whilst I filled our container with RO water,

 Diana had a look around,

 taking a few photographs,

 of some of the tropical freshwater fish,

 as it happens,

 there were lots to chose from,

 if only we had a larger flat,

 we could have some of these,

 naturally with a marine aquarium, 

 or two,

 Diana was still taking a few photographs,

 so I popped outside,

 to the outdoor section,

 where there were almost countless,

 goldfish on display,

 also a nice selection of water lilies,

 in the outdoor pools,

 and a selection,

of waterside plants,

 shopping and looking at the fish over, we were home for our evening meal, a pre meal sherry,

 for our starter mussels in a garlic sauce,

 followed with a massaman curry,

 with rice,

 for dessert a few chocolate covered profiteroles, 'Cheers!',

the aquarium was getting a few strands of thread algae growing, so Diana got out her twizzle stick out and removed them, we listened to music until late, when it was then time for a New Tricks to see us up to nearly the midnight hour, then for us we were off to bed.
