10th Dec Th. Shopping day. But I had to post letters for Vad firstly.
Then on to Mid Valley.
First to chemist to put in our order -  the chemists (female, Asian ) seem to get shorter and shorter.
Round Woolworths I go. I discovered why the shelf stackers are often elderly men - it is a government program to employ the over 50s.
Food is getting pricier. Still I  like to eat (So does Vad).
Having done all this it is home, unload the car, have coffee and have a nap. As is traditional now.
Naps are the lubricant of the elderly. Everything works better afterwards.
I mowed the front lawn  in the afternoon without too much wheezing. Still got to do the much bigger back garden to do.
I found my missing mobile phone. It was in the car where I had hidden it fore safety. Now I must recharge it. So many things with batteries these days.
Later I drove to 'Red Rooster' to buy half a  chicken there. Not as easy as it seems. I  always find communication with their 15 year old staff tricky.
Still it made the stuff of a good dinner.
