Shopping!

Not the best of weeks here with issues and yet more issues with the legendary Grump but as things on the more current affairs front (no one's investigating affairs with a current!) are very up in the air we'll get down to more everyday things.

Shopping. Yeah the pain in butt that is the Grump does that Monday's - an old routine that's a bit unneeded as "big shops" are a thing of the past being both carless and since Mom's death three year ago on Saturday rather less on paper at least is needed.

That's before you consider the store he goes to is not well run in a marginally less grotty part of the district.

Day and place could better as in better run stores, less menacing types about and even cheaper prices.

I usually shop Wednesday just outside the district where there everything from "fill to the brim on stop shop" shopping to bespoke butchers and cheese stores all co-existing so you can mix and match rather being stuck with just one stores whole range.

Friday's I join him  but leave him to go around Iceland as I've got what I need from there in pop into smallish Morrisons which isn't the quite last word in shopping but does often have useful stuff in and bargain offers apart from newspapers, a legacy of the store being for former newsagent that went into sell bits and bobs of food before being taken over as most of the group was in mid-Cheshire.

Fresh ingredients are available in a way some places are deserts of with only packaged highly processed food available that just  isn't that healthy.

I'd rather the Grump moved his monday shopping somewhere better!
