It’s so civilised. Sunday morning, make coffee around 7-8 am. Take it back to bed. Use my iPad to do the grocery shopping at Morrisons. Get up and have breakfast. After breakfast, usually 2-3 hours after placing the order, the groceries arrive. Plenty of time to make dinner, with some of what I’ve ordered. No need to sit in traffic, hauling bags on and off buses, and standing in lines at supermarkets. #shopping

It’s a good thing I’ve got a long weekend off. The jabs have left me with a high temperature, a headache, and feeling lethargic. I’ve just got out of bed at 2.15 pm. I am never one for lying in bed all day or sleeping in. I’ve made a mug of #coffee, and we’ll see how that works out. #medical.

2am and I wake up sweating with a temperature of 102.2° and two sore arms. The fever shouldn’t ..last more that a few hours.

Still it’s worth it if I don’t get flu or Covid this winter.

Anyone here read Jacobin? I’m reading the latest issue, although as I had to wait for it to wing its way across the pond, there will soon be another one out. I’m sure. #reading

Procrastination is the thief of time, right? Well, rather than sitting around thinking about what I need to get done, I find it easier to get up and tackle it!

So, I got ready and went to the GP to get my flu jab. Then, I went to the pharmacy and got my. COVID jab. After that, I walked to the Polish shop and bought a few grocery items. I purchased some bread, ham, grated cheese, dark chocolate, kefir, and a nice, well-filled ham and cheese salad roll for my lunch. The whole lot was only £14. A short walk to another corner store for some potatoes. They sell a 6kg bag of good-sized spuds (mostly big enough for jacket potatoes if we desire them) for £6.

Why go to supermarkets when the local stores offer good value?

Once I got home, I made another mug of coffee, went into the garden, raked the lawn free of the two-day-old cuttings, and swept the garden path.

Back into the kitchen, and after looking in the refrigerator and finding a pack of fresh chicken thighs, I decided to make a curry for dinner. I got everything prepared and simmered it slowly in the pot, allowing all the flavours to mingle well. I’ll cook some rice later.

Now, that aforementioned roll to eat, along with another mug of coffee, and a little R&R. #food

IT’s very unlike me to sleep in, but I did this morning. I didn’t wake up until almost 8 am. I’m having a #coffee, and then it’s off to the doc for a flu (and possibly COVID) jab. I’ll do a little shopping, and I’ll also take my camera with me, of course, and see what I find in the locality.

Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the Harrow & Wealdstone Triple train crash, in which 112 poor souls lost their lives in the morning rush hour.

Spent an enjoyable hour with the latest edition of Fabian Review. It certainly gave me a few things to think about.

I have a couple of new publications that have arrived on my doormat. Yes, I still read physical books and magazines. On that note, I am going to step away from the computer for a while, take my coffee, sit on the sofa, and read!
