Friday 13th..

Petrol strike today and for the next three days. We went to Sainsbury's this morning and I do have to say that the traffic wasn't any less, in fact it was very busy. The petrol station at Sainsbury's was closed however I suppose they had run out.
Had a lovely cup of coffee in Sainsbury's, their coffee has definitely improved, much better flavour than the stuff they used to sell years ago.
Got all our usual weekend stuff except potato salad..why they don't sell it I don't know, they don't seem to have any at all. Stacks of coleslaw, but no potato salad...What's all that about as they say.
VT is looking after the little ginger cat next dorr for two weeks while they go on holiday to France. They went yesterday, but their daughter is going today. Once she had woken up that is. Seems that the youngsters are all the same.
Last night we had:
A Quorn beef and mushroom pie that I bought last december and had in the freezer since then. We had 1/4 each, and 8oz of squashed potatoes.
Vegetables were a mix of leftover carrots, diced, a courgette, diced, and some fresh peas.
We made a dribble of gravy to go with, and it was really nice. We have frozen half of the pie for another meal , so was quite thrifty.
Tonight we are having:
Delias Madras egg curry, with 4oz of white rice,
Tomato cachumber, poppadums, and banana and mango chutney.
We will have some sliced mushrooms to go with that too.
