I went to Lidl yesterday with Tash, mainly because Tash's Dad had informed us that they were selling these really good car battery chargers on the cheap. A bit like this, which is a portable jump starter and air compressor:
With all the car battery troubles I've been having of late I really want to get one of these, just for peace of mind. The other day I was scared to turn the engine off when I went to the cash machine, and I've also been flinching every time I do the central locking as the indicator flashes on and off; a sure fire waste of energy if ever there was one. Also, when you open the door to get in the conveyance the inside light come on, and I have to get in and close the door as quickly as possible to conserve battery power. I need the peace of mind that a portable jump starter will bring, I really do.
I was quite annoyed when I found Lidl wasn't selling these items any more. I did however purchase the following items:
They sell some quite good stuff, nice and cheap and the sort of stuff you find in foreign hypermarkets. Please have a look at this overhead perspective of a portion of the Lidl supermarket:
I had been looking at this thing of soap, as the pattern is quite nice:
Whilst I was doing this Tash had moved onwards through the store and was at the tomato ketchup. There was a man approaching behind her and as he neared she turned round with a bottle of tomato ketchup and said "Ketchy?" She thought he was me and I saw the whole thing. The man just ignored Tash and carried on his way.
On the way home from Lidl I had a bit of an incident with a parked car, please have a look at this overhead perspective of the situation the unfolded:
You see, I thought the parked car with the lights on was waiting in traffic so I fell in line behind the bastard not realizing. I mean, who parks their car and leaves the lights on, it's just a waste of your car battery for God's sake. There was loads of traffic behind me and I needed to reverse in order to create an angle to get past the son of a bitch. Eventually when there was a gap I managed to maneuver past him, as I did I peered over through the window and said "fucking cunt". This annoyed Tash, she said it was my own fault; but my fault or not I was still bloody annoyed by the whole debarkle.
When we got in I immediately started to make some strawberry jelly. This is it:
I ate some of it this lunchtime, a third to be exact.
