Lock-down Day 245

As it was past midnight, before I finally dropped off to sleep, I woke up rather late. Again.

Since I've finished yet another bottle of fruit juice in two evenings, plus some milk shake, I decided to go to Ninapark Superspar today to re-stock.

I spent far more money than I had planned! No regrets, though! Firstly, they had Sushi! So I treated myself! Then, they had only a few bottles of my preferred brand of fruit juice. Why do I prefer them? Because they use far less apple juice than the other brands! And apple juice goes through me faster than turpentine through a sick donkey!

Then I saw blueberries and strawberries for the same price I get them online - so I packed four punnets each! The advantage of in-store shopping, is that you can inspect goods before you purchase. Online, they still think they can do like in-store: sell rotten apples! Well, I plan on doing something about that! Anyway, no gardening tonight - instead, I'll be cutting and freezing strawberries! I wouldn't want them to grow fur!

They also had brown mushrooms on special - so I took one packet as well. Oh, and my instant coffee is on special - a real special price this time ... yeah, I stocked up! Ditto long-life milk. And while I was there, I also stocked up on tonic water. That should see me through the shut-down. I hope. I will have to get more fruit juice just before we close, though.

My PC has apparently blown its power supply ... sigh. At least that's not a major issue. Now it's just a matter of 'how and when' to get a replacement. My colleague will check whether he has one at home, if not, we'll make a plan tomorrow. Sigh ...

I've decided to take my old laptop home tonight. I won't be able to go online (virus software is out of date AND it was giving major problems last time I tried), but at least I can listen to an audio book and watch an episode or two. I can hook it up to my big monitor, so I can see nicely - not having to squint myself silly!

I called again about the gate - as I've had to leave it open this morning - and they'll get an electrician to take a look. Let's see how that goes!

Well, I had better publish now ... and update you on my evening tomorrow morning!
