Chilli Mist


So pleased with myself for getting out at around 9 am this morning and spending an enormous amount of cash in Sainsburys.  This was not because I bought too much, it was because they have been going around the shelves increasing the shareholders payout.  There was 10p on tins here, an increase there, and all this surrounded by shelving claiming 'special offers,' none of which were.  Even their reduced stuff is to expensive.  The supermarkets have us under control.  They tell us what to eat, what to buy, how to live, if we do not keep our eyes open.  They will not give Sainsburys staff bonuses at Christmas but they will give big payouts to shareholders, the very shareholders who refuse to vote for staff bonuses at Christmas.  There are more Tories in this world than you thought.


A mere saunter around the white, frosted park was a change for me.  I have not been getting out lately, again.  The bright sun shone through the mist glistening of the frozen branches, warming the puffed out chests of the pigeons sitting high in the trees, satisfied, I think, with their breakfasts.  I suspect it was freezing, or just above this morning.  I ought to have worn the 'Tam O'Shanter' as it would have prevented my weak head from being frozen.  However, wearing this scruffy beard has certainly been an advantage this morning.  
  

Of course I am now worn out, my 'Chilli stew' was not chilli enough, the sun remains shining as the cold draft comes through the old window frames, and I want to go back to bed.
Nothing changes...

Do they do Mexican take aways or even ready meals in your neck of the woods? That would warm you all right....or perhaps were you to combine tam o' shanter plus beard that might do the trick without need for the chillies.

Go to Asda! Don't you have those in Scotland?

Fly, Takeaways abound, but so do the prices. I prefer my own ecoli.


Kay, No Asda, and Asda no cheaper.

I guess you don't have a lidl or Aldi near you? Those frosty photos are great.

Jenny, There is a Lidl way up the road. However, I went a couple of times but did not find them cheaper than Tesco. They were also less friendly. Too far to trundle for shopping now. However, I was in Sainsburys today early, and noticed their price increases, nothing todo with Brxit, just shareholder greed.
