Another great British institution has come to an end……Brain Matthews ‘Sounds of the 60’s’. I have listened to this for many years, probably as long as it has been on Radio 2. Now the BBC in their wisdom have decided to get rid of him. Instead we have Tim Rice….boring! It’s just not the same any more. I believed he was just sitting in while Brian was ill…not so, he’s taken over!!
We walked Ellie when there was a gap in the drizzle. It seemed as though it was going to be a dull day and so we decided to go into Deal. Not many people along the sea front! We went and had our lunch in the Sir Norman Wisdom. You can have refillable filter coffee for £1.10 and the meals have the calories next to them so I can look for the “Under 500”. Of course it is Wetherspoon but such good value and one that is very pleasant, some can be a bit grotty.
I did manage to get Mal into Sainsburys which meant I didn’t have to carry all the shopping as I usually do on Tuesdays. They had plenty of lettuces, tomatoes AND broccoli!! Prices are starting to go up but we should get prepared for Brexit…then we will see them escalate!
We stopped at the Sholden farm shop on the way home . I was shocked that they were selling a sack (25kg) of potatoes for £10.95. They were certainly trying it on, so we walked out and went to Gibsons. That was much better. King Edwards £5.95 and Marfona £6.95. What a difference!
We arrived home to a renewal notice for our pet insurance for Ellie. It would now be £24.95 a month! I don’t think so that was a huge price hike. A 20 minute phone conversation and it is now £8 cheaper. It makes me wonder how many people just pay up without checking it out or questioning why. I am convinced they just think of any old number.
Later we watched Hammers and then the Spurs game.
