Went to Tesco's today...didn't want to bother actually 'cos I was tired and cross and when I was looking at the bananas they were enormous and I don't like huge bananas and they were much more expensive than our local supermarket.
There were displays of red roses as well for Valentine's Day...tall and perfectly straight and with flowers all precisely the same size...cost a small fortune too. I like blowsy, sweet scented roses that fill the sitting room with perfume and drop delicate petals all over the old pine chest...
But I lumbered round and bought essentials and then stood and looked at the different breads for a while before deciding none of them would slice up to fit in the toaster and a woman next to me muttered under her breath about the garlic bread making the teacakes smell...of garlic.
I put a loaf of O'Hara's sliced bread in my trolley and a pack of seeded bread rolls and wondered whether we needed more washing-up liquid or not...
Himself went to get yet more batteries for my ambulant oxygen...costs a feckin' fortune so it does in batteries and came back with a pack of salted peanuts.
And I found the vitamins and such like and stocked up on Vit D and Vit C with Zinc and wonder whether they actually work or if it's all a ploy to get us to spend more money...
Sugar is surely sugar but Tesco's sugar is forty-five cent more than the local supermarket sugar but the wine is two euro cheaper and I get a bit befuddled over what to buy here and what to leave and get even more tired and cross trying to fathom it all out...
The tiny plum tomatoes announce you have to eat seven of them to contribute towards your five-a-day but a tin of sliced mango counts as one and the cod in the fish section isn't actually cod...it's Pollack.
So I go back to where the magazines are displayed and choose one about crochet because I don't care if that bumps the final bill up...
To add insult to injury we catch a glimpse of Mick who promised he'd come and look at our leaky kitchen roof months and months ago and never did...he sort of sidled sideways though you can't really miss him 'cos he has red hair in long dreads and wears his very long beard in tiny plaits adorned with beads...but he was away in his little battered car quick as a flash...don't think he really wanted to be scrambling about on our leaky roof to begin with...was just being polite.
Himself found the right sort of batteries and we paid the bill and came home.
Haha, how funny to read your account of shopping in Tesco - with Himself, of course.
