Did I go back and pick the rubbish up in the woods. Yes. Bagging it up, tidying up, leaving the area clean.
All ready to walk back to my car. 
I put a fresh bag in the trolley and walked up the road. The grass verges were full of bottles and cans. Another bag filled.
My previous bags have been collected. It's easy enough for the Council to stop and pick them up when they are passing.
I had a look for a new gilet in Go Outdoors this afternoon. Sadly, they didn't have exactly what I wanted. Everything is in black or grey. All the jackets have high collars with the zip up to the chin. And the pockets aren't big enough. I have an old body warmer which I can use, it's about 40 years old. It will do for now until I find something a bit more colourful.
I went in Morrisons because I was at that end of the town. Don't like it much in there, it's too big, and too busy. I picked up a few items with a basket. I wanted peanut butter made with 100% peanuts. I bought three jars. There were only two checkouts open all the rest were scan yourself. I stood behind someone who had filled his trolley. The lady on the till said I could move over to the scan yourself. I said, no thanks I will wait. She said they are short of staff that's why there is only two tills open. She was insistent and called a young assistant over to do the scanning for me. I agreed to that. The young lady had to go around all the self scanning tills to help other people put their shopping through. That seems daft to me, why didn't they just put her on a checkout.
Have a good weekend. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
I have a lightweight gilet from Cotton Traders with around eight pockets, a couple of them zipped.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if they are still selling it, or whether it would be suitable??
That sounds like just what I want. The ones I saw in G O are now winter stock so they are all padded and bulky. They also had high padded necklines with the zip up to my chin. I thought I might be able to cut that off, and add more pockets. Decided against it. I checked the Workwear department and the Fishing department. All bulky clothes for winter.
DeleteEdinburgh Woollen Mill sells fleece gilets too. Some have zips on pockets, others don't.
DeleteYour experience of the Morrisons checkout is what happened to me in Boots,… no one to help me find what I was looking for and no one on the one till, all self serve,… and I didn’t have my glasses with me so I couldn’t do it myself,… I waited ages for a grumpy women to finally come to the till,. boots basically don’t employ till staff anymore,.. I won’t me going again,… Superdrug still have a girl always on the till and sometimes there are two of them 😂
ReplyDeleteIn Boots, I go to the makeup or perfume counter to pay because I won't use their self service tills either!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, forgot about doing that, thanks Corinne :-)
