Food Shopping

Well it should be easy, Glynis gives me a list and I go and get all the items from it.

Lets see, Item 1 - SALAD.

I'm in Morrisons now looking at the salad counter. I have the choice between:- Seasonal Babyleaf, Farmers Select, French Style, Italian Style, 4 Leaf (is that Clover?), Caesar, Watercress Spinach and Wild Rocket, Herb Garden, Sweet and Crunchy, Bistro Style, American Style, Simple Side Salad, Tomato and Cucumber, Classic Garden, Mediterranean, Salad Tray, Crispy, or Mixed Salad.

I wonder which one she wanted?

Item 2 - Mushrooms

Closed Cup, Button, Sliced, Chestnut, Oyster, Breakfast, Organic, Shiitake, Portabella or Value??? I don't know!

Item 3 - Ham

Well these are three packs for £4 so we'll have Cooked Ham, Breaded Ham and Honey Roast Ham, as I know she doesn't like Smoked Ham.

Item 4 - Apples

!!!

At least everything on the list finished up in the basket and knowing we have visitors this weekend I added a few beers, just to be on the safe side. Oh and a doughnut jumped out at me! All done now, I'm off home for coffee.

Food Recycling

Torquay Council have recently introduced a new food recycling system. We have two waste food caddies, one for in the house and one for outside. However our previous system still seems to work just as well. Waste food is put out in the back garden and a number of visitors eat it within minutes. A stray cat arrived and ate everything, this cat has now been adopted by our neighbours and is called Tom, while a seagull which Glynis has named "Sammy" eats anything the cat leaves. Sammy now seems to have a youngster which Glyn calles "Squeeky" because it sits outside squeeking for food. Due to my impaired hearing and tinnitus I can't hear this seagull if the door is closed. I knew there was a good side to the slight hearing loss. (Click on the picture to see a bigger version.)

Fast Response, I think not!

I was really impressed (not) by Devon and Cornwall Police last week. Glynis (5'1") observed a thief (5'8") open the back gate of the house over the road and go behind the house to steal the motorbike, which was being renovated after being stolen and trashed 2 months ago. She shouted across the road to the thief, who ran off towards the fields with the stolen motorbike. She was unable to follow due to passing traffic. Glynis ran back into our house and dialled 999, advising the police that she was observing a robbery in progress. An Hour and Twenty Minutes later the Police (one officer in a car) arrived. By then the bike was torched and dumped at the bottom of the hill with no sign of the thief. What would have happened if he had come back to confront Glynis, the witness to his theft? Who would she have called on?
