LS Thursday

Very early morning. Which, seeing as it's load shedding from 04:00 - 06:30 was not exactly ideal. Fortunately power came not too long after six, so I could make a fresh pot of coffee.

My car made a clonk clonk noise last night. Naturally, that freaks me! I feared I may not be able to get to work ... may have to be towed.

Went to get groceries, clonked when I got back. Couldn't find the boss, so I asked a colleague to listen - he checked it out & pinpointed the problem.

I shopped a bit big on groceries this week. They had a special on margarine, which I use for baking. Their tomatoes were cheap, as were their green bell peppers. I also stumbled across one packet of beef fillet - only a tad more expensive than their T-Bone! Took that! At the butchery, I got more club steak and cheese. Also a packet of Stroganoff. Well, beef strips for frying.

Aaand they crooked me on the margarine! Friggin' heck! No, I'm not going back ... it's painful enough going there once a week! But I got the Chrysanthemum's cheaper than the labelled price, so ... win some, loose some.

I was considering making a reckless drive to builders - buy supplies for the year-end holiday, like cement, paint, etc. Then I received a Purchase order ... I'm still busy processing that.

I had a bit of a mishap, when I took a GrandPa powder early, I had to sneeze before I could swallow ... damn that shite is painful at the back of the throat! Five hours later, and my throat is still sore!

Back at home, I still don't feel up to mowing. I'll do it tomorrow afternoon. Instead, I trimmed the tomato plants - gosh, they are growing wild and thick! I really MUST thin them out. This weekend! Seriously!

Back inside, I managed to squish everything into the fridge - I'll have quite a bit of work to freeze everything on Saturday.

Mippies are demanding my attention ... load shedding tomorrow morning only for an hour, so I've decided to take a chance and leave the PC on overnight. Should be from 04:00 to 05:00 only. Unfortunately again from 12:00 - 14:30 and again from 20:00 - 22:30 tomorrow evening ... Sigh ...
