An early drive down the hill for a few things from Tesco and some cash from a machine. I’d better not start on food prices. I did various odd jobs for the rest of the morning, had lunch and got ready to go out again.

It was an afternoon of torrential showers. I avoided the worst. After dropping off two bags of books at Oxfam I did a bit of browsing in some outdoor stores as I need shoes and a waterproof jacket. I’ll go and try shoes on early next week but haven’t spotted a jacket yet.
