[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2423699, member: 238814"] Fbg 7.4 Remembering to take my meds. Yesterday the chiller cabinet where I had seen that soft malleable (melting) cheddar cheese some days earlier, now only had canned drinks filling the chiller cabinet. All the spoiled food had gone, In another shop yesterday, a designated freezer type shop, I was wondering if it would be safe to buy some food from their chiller cabinet. I didn't get the cheese because I wasn't sure after seeing all those melting chiller and freezer cabinets (not this particular shop) the week before with the hot weather. So, I picked up a nice (pack of two) wild blueberry and lemon cheesecake for a treat. It had cardboard round it. But it wasn't until I opened it yesterday afternoon (it had gone straight into my fridge, which is the correct temperature, 20 minutes after buying it), that when I took the cardboard off, I realised the silver foil on top of the glass dish it was in, was blown. I opened it, and it was very off. Disappointed. Looks like all the shops last week who had problems with their chillers had just left the chilled food in them even though the temperatures fell below safe levels. I have gone off food again. And I will not be buying any chilled meats or cheese or anything like that until September, because surely by that time all those chiller foods will have been replaced. It's packets and tins and glass jars and dried food for me until then. So now now to figure out what I can eat, because I was very dependent on fresh/chilled foods (cheese and cooked meats etc.). I know where I can get yellowfin tuna (responsibly sourced etc) in olive oil, so another shopping expedition in a few days. And I can get some ((expensive) powdered cheese to mix with my scrambled egg. So, a rethink... Last night, as usual, Popeye sits or lies wide awake (right under my chin) guarding me all through the night. I used night sight on my phone camera to capture this. Or I can open my eyes in the night, and Popeye has gone into upright sitting mode and is staring into my closed eyes. Very spooky to open your eyes, and have eyes staring back into your eyes. Now I am awake, Popeye is lying totally chilled out, relaxed and floppy and his eyes closed... What invisible demons is that cat guarding me against in the night...
