What a Change..

In the weather. It is absolutely boiling hot today, the sun is blazing down and actually everywhere is looking dry.
On the wayto the shopping we drove through the local country and all the fields of Rape seed that is growing. It is still bright yellow, but is ripening, so you get the sweet almost sickly smell wafting through the car window.Very strong scent.
We went over to the Walton Sainsbury's this morning, mainly because we had a coupon for five pounds off if you spend fifty. Of course you spend the time going round thinking have we got enough, then when you get to the checkout, you find that you have overspent by about thirty. Bought quite a lot of stock up items though so shouldn't need as much next week. We needed some white wine to stock up the shelves, and the ordinary drinks like Pepsi and diet lemonade.also cordials. We had a coffee before we started shopping, not the best coffee in the world, the cup is too big for me, and it is extremely strong too.
There was a product recall today from Nescafe, about their Posh range..Alta Rica, Cap Colombie etc. You have to telephone with the batch number and the product code and they will send a full refund. VT did that this morning, he had to wait quite a while but it was a freephone number. I think we will use the coffee though and go through it very carefully before it is put into the cup. It seems awful to wast a whole jar of lovely coffee just for a few problems. Noticed on Sainsbury's shelves they had removed all of the coffees in this range and there were big gaps.
Home for lunch of a Quorn deli beef sandwich and a really nice seeded bread loaf from the Sainsbury's bakery. Cats seem quite tired today, ;ittle Rusty is on the bed, looks tired out, and Bobby is in the garden with VT. She is a real little sun baby and loves being outside.
Last night VT had two goes at getting the ginger girl in the house. The first time she wasn't there but the second she was on the Dentist's path and went in right away. She is a lovely little cat, and likes mooching around during the day.
Tonight we are having:
Pasties from Waitrose..Vegetable
and
Clotted cream rice puddings!! for a treat.
