The debate..and Fresh fruit and Veggies...

We watched The Debate on last night's television between the three leaders. It was actually quite well done, and a good watch with no clapping throughout, and well spread out questions. Personally I though Nick Clegg did very well..but would it be enough to swing my vote to Lib dem..Hmmm, not so sure. Gordon did well too and even made the odd joke Bless him. Thought David Cameron came over as being aloof and a bit disdainful, certainly didn't do as well as Clegg. We shall see what happens with the next one.
We went over to the Aintree Sainsburys this morning . We haven't been there for ages, not since my last Walton visit. It was really quiet, and the Liverpool schools are still out too. The shop seemed to have an awful lot of empty spaces on the shelves with a distinct lack of certain fruits and veggies, mainly the imported ones. I sent VT to look for a couple of bananas and he came back to say there weren't any! No bananas, only in great big bags, no loose ones. I only wanted them to ripen my avocado too. Did quite a big shop, I like that supermarket, they have a terrific range of Quorn things, and we got a few new items. VT said there was something going on in the shop with groups of managers in huddles all over the pklace. the shortage of the fruits must be due to the volcanic ash that is causing so much disruption everywhere. It's held up deliveries I suppose.
It is a gorgeous day today and a real pleasure to go out on a drive still a cool breeze though which catches you unawares. We were watching the news at lunchtime, and there are no signs that planes are going to be leaving or entering any time soon. people all over the airports stranded or waiting for news. i remember when we were stranded a Stanford Airport orlando once for fourteen hours and that was Hell. You just want to get moving, and it doesn't look like people will get anything from their insurance companies either.
VT is in the garden doing a bit more. He says he has just given little/big Bobby a brush which is good, she is moulting white hair everywhere at the minute, must be the warmer weather.

She tends to leave her white hairs all over the place, so a good brush really helps. well done VT.
Tonight we are having:
Fishless fingers, tartare sauce
mushy peas for VT and Green beans for moi.
A baked tomato
And Chips!! a real once a fortnight treat. Only 200grms between us though.
