11.9 when Dawn was streaking across the sky.
Not happy with that.
But I was out all day yesterday. Got overtired and couldn’t relax to sleep when I got home.
I thought I had eaten okay even though I ate out. I ate the low or no carb stuff on the breakfast plate, but I did have a bowl of fruit and cream.
I was frustrated with one shop I went in to look for eyedrops. Their chain of shops has been gradually closing and this is the only one near me now. It was 10:30 in the morning so not that early but when they get a delivery, which Is always on every day I go, they just throw and strew the goods, and individual items across the aisles. It is hazardous even for a person on 2 legs. But for a person even on the smallest size mobility scooter, it is impossible. The only staff there appears to be on the till. I start with kick the item away with my foot but this is tiring, and then it becomes...how many items can I run over...
I found the different eye drops I had gone in for, there seemed to be a good range. I spent three quarters of an hour choosing, but on the way to the till, I suddenly remembered to check the sell by date. They ranged from 2018 to January 2019....what? Every one was out of date. No wonder they had a ‘good’ range. They must have been from their stores that had closed. I put my basket down (vigorously), and drove like a bat out of hell out of the shop (on my mobility scooter).
Next shop was Marks & Sparks. Nothing wrong with their shop. All fine until I got to the till. I was looking for chocolate, dark chocolate. And I found some. I bought half a dozen different bars to try. Then this customer in front of me looks wide eyed at my bars of chocolate on the conveyer belt thingy, puts one of her hands flat actually on my chocolate physically touching/holding down my bars of chocolate, wags her finger at me and shakes her head from side to side, and says “All this chocolate”.
It was the physical touching and holding my food goods down that upset me. She was lucky she was still standing.
I wouldn’t dream of doing that to a man with just crates of beer on the conveyer belt to the till....
I nearly left my chocolate, but I was getting tired by this time. I am rarely near a Marks&Sparks, but now I am home, I can still see her hand on my chocolate.
Next shop I had met with my friend. They have moved the aisles closer together so they can get extra aisles in. This makes it harder for anyone, and the aisles are too close to look at the goods on the shelves properly and they are darker now because not enough lighting. But the worst thing for me in my small mobility scooter is all the tall baskets they place with extra goods in, on either side of the entrance to each aisle and in the aisle as well, making it impossible for any wheelchair user, or an elderly grumpy old biddy on a mobility scooter. My friend knows I will make a point (or several points) so she was rushing ahead moving the tall baskets out of the way...
In the end she said, let’s go for a coffee instead...
Anyone in a mobility scooter want to play this new arcade game I have devised? Only it is in real shopping aisles with basket obstructions that need to be cleared...
I need the potting shed today with moggy...
Have a good day.

I do enjoy coloring -- as long as someone else has drawn the lines!
