The Weather Is Still Nasty...
Can't see it improving much this year.
Slept well, ate well and the weekend was reasonable. I guess that I was as happy as I can be. Today I plan to keep busy. I don't feel sad as such or depressed but have that knotted feeling in my stomach. The "Butterflies in the tummy!" feeling.
It is still probably connected to losing Mum but I don't know. I think these are all feelings we have to face when such a traumatic event happens...
I will have a look out soon for some hot water bottles and a kettle that can be use on a stove and not depend on electric for boiling then if there is a power cut I can still get a hot drink by using the camping stove or if an electric kettle fails I can boil it up on the main cooker or the hot plate I have...
I did have little shopping trip yesterday but spent silly money on taxi's but my money is for such expenses but a friend has informed me that a bus runs close to my home(That would be cheaper)to a town nearby I have never been to(I say near)it is about an hour away on the bus but it has nearly all the shops I would use in a precinct and they close to each other.
But once the new supermarket opens on my town I will probably be able to manage reasonably well. Depends how small it is and whether it sells the items I want. I think if I am well stocked up a big shop will not be needed as much.
Anyhow, I managed to get a hand blender yesterday which I think will be useful and save getting a big processor out. Some nice big jugs with easy to read measurements on the side and you can store liquid in them(they also have lids)a steam cleaner which I think is going to be very useful.
Also much as I love my slow cooker and have only been using it for the last few months so it is practically brand new, being single I found a smaller one for under £10 and it uses less power so it may cook quicker and do portions more suitable for me. I will keep both though.
I managed to get some decent food bargains and some good dates on what I purchased so what I have will last me ages.
Oh and though it's a bit big for under £7 I treated myself to a man's watch(with a three year warranty)I haven't worn one for a while but it can be handy having the time easily accessible. And as my eyes get worse having a large watch face probably is a good thing.
