Went shopping this morning - about 8 am not 7, after all. Roads were fairly busy but there were parking spaces at both supermarkets. However, despite being early in the morning, there was precious little on the shelves. No cow's milk whatsoever, nor goat's. Some almond and oat milk, but they are no use to me. No soya milk either. No butter, a few packs of cheese. Some veg, but not all I wanted. No meat either, which was a surprise. Did get a box of tissues and one kitchen roll AND a bottle of bleach and one carton of cream and one carton of greek yoghurt. So much for there being no shortages. Shelves would have been stocked with what was available during the night, so it isn't that people had flooded in and stripped the shelves again. About 9.15 parked and Neil went to both pharmacies in town for me, only to find them shut and notices up on the doors that they wouldn't be opening until later in the day. Must be some sort of special training for staff, I suppose. Bit of a pain though. At least the bill was a bit less than I expected, but come to think of it, not sufficiently less considering the small amount I bought. Must check the prices.
Talking of pain - my toe is improved because I did manage to hack away at the troublesome nail last night and relieve the pressure on it so it will probably not cause much problem. Couldn't do anything about the other foot though - being right handed, I can't bend down to my right foot, although I can just reach my left with an effort. I really don't want to ask Neil to cut my toenails for me. I'm sure he would - he used to do his father's toe and finger nails, when no-one else was allowed to touch them. But still ...
When we came back - about 10 - I fell asleep again and then when I woke up - about 11, I had some cheese and another cup of tea. Lunch will be some more of the spicy veg - probably in a frittata. Dinner will be some oxtail stew which I took out of the freezer last night. I'll have to drink black coffee since my milk is running out - seriously dislike black tea unless it is very weak China style.
