Good morning all, it's an autumnal morning here in Glasgow.
When I awoke, there was a beautiful sky with red streaks across it.
I ventured out to the supermarket on my own yesterday, we only needed bread and milk, I told DH. ?
Of course, as always, I had a plan!
I suspected that after the First Minister's briefing, that might be my last outing for a while.☹️
I was correct in that assumption. After I got home, I received a text from the shielding people, (How did they know I was out?) advising me to be in as little contact as possible with people. No more trips out for me. It was good for the few weeks that I had a taste of freedom.
I decided not to visit our local Asda, but the one in the next town, because......,......it was right next door to TKMaxx, Poundland, Matalan and B&M! ? I told you I had a plan. My excuse to DH was that my car needed a run after the flat battery fiasco.
The Asda car park was being dug up and there were no disabled spaces, the hand sanitiser bottle at the front door was filthy, and it was so busy for 9am!
Not a good start. I could see lots of new season clothes, but too many people browsing, I couldn't wait to get out. ☹️
Poundland wasn't much better, but I wanted to pick up the usual stuff like, super glue, four packets Rollos and Bounties for a pound!?
I have never seen that retail park so busy and it was mainly elderly people. It was as if they were thinking along the same lines as me, trying to cram everything in, in anticipation of another lockdown.
I gave up in the end, as it was making me feel anxious. I have never been an anxious shopper, quite the opposite. My disappointment was compounded, when I noticed a new Home Bargains had opened, (I usually spend a fortune on cleaning materials and useless things in there , but common sense prevailed and I gave it a miss. ☹️
DH and I are off bramble picking this morning and the sun has just broken through the clouds. It's now a beautiful proper, Autumn morning!☀️??.
I am going for a haircut late afternoon. My lovely hairdresser has ensured I will be the only client in the shop, in order to keep me safe. She did offer to come to my home, but I wasn't really keen and now Covid restrictions means she can't.
I hope to see EV, posting this morning and that Hattie continues to make progress.
To all our missing posters and those coping with worries and I'll health, I'm thinking of you.?
