I popped over the road
immediately on getting up; we had run out of bread. Annoyingly the
shop over the road doesn't open until 8am. They are open till
midnight every night selling tins of lager to Eastern Europeans who
congregate outside the shop till all hours but not open for brekkie
essentials. That's annoying.
So I went a little
further up the road to the shop that has been there for years.
Last night we had a
bottle of wine with our dinner. This morning over brekkie I ran the
label through my new wine-searcher app. Last night's bottle was quite
nice really. I paid a fiver for it, and my app tells me that is the
going rate.
I rooted through the
recycling and dug out the bottle we swilled last week. I scanned the
label into the app. I'd bought that bottle at a bargain price in
Morrison's last week. My app tells me that this wine currenttly
retails for about twenty five quid. I honestly think the cheaper
stuff actually tastes better.
After brekkie I popped
the lead onto "Furry Face TM" and
we went for a liittle walk in the countryside. I've been asked to
organise the New Year's Day geo-event and so I thought I'd best start
making preparations. I'd had a route in mind for some time. I went
there today...
One thing which *really*
annoys me is footpaths which aren't clearly marked. I found several
of those today, but after a few hours we eventualy had the makings of
a four mile walk. It still needs a little work; that will give me
somewhere to walk next Tuesday. That is providng the pub I'm basing
the walk around get back to me. I phoned them on Sunday and they
assured me the manager would contact me. She hadn't. I phoned today
and was given an email address to contact. I've sent them an email.
They have until the weekend to reply. If they don't I'll have to have
a re-think.
There was a minor hiccup
as my wellies seem to have sprung a leak. I shall have to get some
new ones.
Once home I had a spot of
lunch then spent the afternoon working on my upcoming presentation to
the astro club. I'm not really happy with how it is coming along, but
I've really left it rather late to throw away and start again. I
shall just have to blag it on the night.
We watched the film
"Pitch Perfect" this evening over a curry. Both
were rather good...
