Food run with Mum
Jun. 22nd, 2020 06:30 pmWow, that rhymes, too! Go me!
Anyway, Mum's been complaining about how much she was missing the shops during the lockdown. She loves wandering around, taking a look at everything and deciding on the spot what we ought to buy - outside the basic necessities, of course. We couldn't go together recently because senior citizens beyond 65 were only allowed between 9pm and midday, and that was the exact time when younger ones were forbidden in the groceries, pharmacies and drug stores.
Now that this particular restriction has been lifted we went to the Auchan supermarket today. It was fun, especially as the weather behaved, meaning that there was fairly strong wind but no rain, and while Mum is fragile like a little bird, I'm massive enough to anchor her. *g* Afterwards we had coffee from an automatic coffee machine, sitting on a bench in front of the supermarket. It felt like holidays, really. We brought some frozen Hawaii pizza home, so we didn't need to cook, either.
In other news I gave my first cherry stone pillow the trial run today. I don't really know if it will help my poor back at all, but it was a supremely pleasant feeling! So I've cobbled together the pillow cases for several more pillows to spread the pleasure. Tomorrow I'll set up my mini sewing machine again and sew the things properly. I discovered that I can regulate the speed much better if I use the foot pedal, so that's what I'll do in the future.
And that was my day, basically. Time flies when you're having fun!
