LS Wednesday

I forgot to mention: we had 60 mm rainfall yesterday! Yeah, I did fear for my home during the day - but I'm happy to report, that all rain & mud stayed outside!

No rain expected today, but this morning a heavy fog covered the world. I could just about see the reeds with the weaver birds, out back - but no further. Just a white blanket everywhere ...

The drive to work was surprisingly uneventful and short. Not much traffic, this morning.

I did it! I did it! I got in the car and drove to Ninapark! Sadly, there was a dead black cat on the road, just before the turn off to the Shopping Centre. And there's nowhere to pull over, to move it out of the road.

Well, back to the happy: I got ice cream, meat, frozen meals, and quite a few other items not available at the Spar up the road. Like coffee filters. I stocked up on those rare items - spent more than I had intended. I see that sirloin prices have now completely lost the plot: Double what I was paying a year ago! Yeah - way out of my budget! Funny thing, though, rump steak is much cheaper! WTF?

I also got 'pensioners discount' again, ha ha! No, I don't ask for it - I guess I just look old. Worn, would be my guess. It's just 1% and not on all items. But it adds up. I also got seeds again ... sorry ... couldn't help myself.

At any rate, I'm slowly but surely filling up my chest freezer! I also got myself a notebook, to keep track of what's inside.

No Sushi, though. Wasn't available. Anyway, my cooler bag is full to the brim! I had to leave the butter outside - ditto the ice I got to keep things frozen in the bag; as it is so full, though, I don't need it. And full with so many frozen goods, should keep everything frozen. Especially that 5 litre ice cream tub, ha ha!

Load shedding again today from 16:00 - 18:30. I say again, as we had load shedding from 08:00 -10:30 this morning. And I forgot to turn the UPS off, so poor mippies had to listen to it crying in it's beepy annoying-like-Marvin voice.

Back at home, unpacked everything, packed the fridge and freezer, did my chores, then spent a little time with my tomato plants. Cleaning out as much of them as I could reach - still not finished.

Inside, shower, dinner - one of the steaks I bought today, shared with mippies, of course! Then I treated myself to an ice cream - which isn't totally frozen anymore. Hopefully tomorrow. Now, mippies are mipping for attention ...
