Sunday in Action..

VT went out for the papers to find that there was a coupon for a free chocolate bar in the Mail..so that decided where he went for his trip. Crosby via the particular newagent. Actually the only chocolate we have pretty much is from freebies, they are a good offer, this one was a Twirl worth 70p !!! Can't get over that, 70p for a chocolate bar...that would have been 15 shillings in old money and an absolute fortune. Sometimes when we consider the price of things today, in terms of pre decimal currency you get a real shock. We used to think that getting a ten shilling note in the birthday card was fantastic, you were really rich!! I suppose nowadays it is a ten pound note!
We did the bedding today, and VT hung the quilt on the line where it dried a bit, finished it off in the drier. Fortunately we have two sets now so don't have to hurry to iron it, and can do that later in the week. Then we made the Pizza dough in the bread machine and got that going. Beautiful Paninis for lunch with Pesto, Tomato and a bit of Mozzarella in them. Put in the oven for about 15 mins very tasty.
Crosswords after lunch, and neither proved to be too difficult for us. The big Mail on Sunday one was a little trickier with VT checking some of the awkward ones on Answerbank. That is a really useful site, but we only use it when we are absolutely stuck, and often you find the same clues coming up which means that a lot find the odd tricky one.
Somebody not a million miles from found some Lottery tickets yesterday, in a busy area with no-one looking for them. Checked the results last night and nothing!! hardly a number, on ten pounds worth of tickets. I do have to say the Lottery isn't very successful for us, we have had a smattering of £10 wins and only four numbers once..just after it opened.
Tonight we are having:
Pizza..with our Tomato sauce,
Portobello mushrooms,
Meatfree sausage pepperoni type, pineapple, basil and Mozzarella,
Salad with egg and potato
Rice salad for VT and potato salad for moi.
