Sunday morning. It's a good deal cooler this morning. It's rather indecisive, not sure whether it's going to rain or not. It's over-cast and there's a wind got up.
Took Alfie across the park as usual. He's almost insisting I take him and doesn't let go until I have him on his lead and we're out of the house. He doesn't obviously like having his routine changed.
Church is down to one service at S.C.F. during August. From two morning services to one at 10.30 a.m. It's because so many people are away on holiday and it would't be sense to have two services when there aren't enough people to fill two services.
So, Carol had the last of the nurse's visits to give her the antibiotics. She has to go to the Maple Centre on Friday to have the P.I.C.C. line removed. A real relief when that is removed. Now she has six weeks of taking the antibiotics in tablet form.
Monday. Still overcast and actually quite chilly. No sign of the sun today, but not sure what the weather forecast says about the rest of the week. We went shopping in Lidl's at Oldbrook Boulevard. Why do we insist on shopping at the likes of Sainsbury's when the price of the stuff in Lidl's is far more competitive? You get a good basket-full of groceries for around £35 which would probably cost around £50 elsewhere. It's laid out far more logically, not such a wide range of products. Why on earth do you need umpteen versions of, say, tomato ketchup? Who really needs organic tomato ketchup? You don't have to make choices over this sort of product in Lidl, as well as Aldi. Their meat, fruit and vegetables are excellent quality and price. At their till they scan it through quickly because someone had the clever idea of making the barcodes larger and easier to scan. Your groceries go straight into your trolley and then you pack it on a special shelf which speeds up this process so the queues are shorter, or, logic says they should be. Their staff seem to work harder, they have to be far more flexible, working on the tills one minute and then stacking shelves.
