Good Morning Early Birds

[waterboatman]

Sunday. Blowing quite an ooligan out there, the rain is almost horizontal. Shan't be out long this morning!

How daft can one get. I was using a peeler to peel a sweet potato yesterday, peeled a bit of skin off my thumb too! What an eejit! :-/

I went over to the Farmers Market in Stroud yesterday as planned, I got some lovely stuff. First stop was the Isle of Wight Garlic fafrm stand. Two tubs of garlic butter, three large bulbs of garlic of various types, Just the job. Went on to a produce stand and stocked up, a gluten free stand provided a Bakewell tart for when my gluten intollerent friend comex to dinner next time, (I'm assured it freezes well) A brewery I hadn't heard of provided four differen bottles of delightful delightful ales I'd not seen before, various odds and ends and in half an hour £70 evapourated! But I reckon on that I saved about £40 on shop prices. I'm a happy bunny. The fourpint bottles of beer were very good, they went while I was watching the rugby. :o}

Have a happy day everyone

[Elina]

... Yes I see you prepped your finger too, how annoying, stings a bit doesn't it ..

I used to like the book shops in The Lanes..but agree the concrete shopping centre is hideous and soulless

[waterboatman]

I've got a plaster on it lina. It's throbbing a bit.

Stroud is pretty good for shopping, it has most of what's required. Some good pubs and a lovely museum.
