1326 – The Discerning Shopper and a distraction…

I went into The Range today (well, it was yesterday, but that’s part of the distraction, I’ll write about that in a minute) I was looking for Ericacious compost, which until a couple of weeks ago I had never heard of, and of which until a couple of minutes before walking in to The Range I had no idea what it was for (Thank you Gosport, for having an excellent 4G service, and to Google for supplying the answer) that it is used for plants that prefer acidic soil. They didn’t have any out the front so I walked in to the gardening section as I turned into the aisle which as it happened had bird & pet food in it, I saw the discerning pigeon I walked slowly and it trotted along, pausing occasionally I presume to consider the benefits of mealworms over guinea pig food, it did not seem in the least bit bothered by my presence, until of course, i intruded into its personal space, at which it trotted off at speed.

I should explain the mix up with yesterday and today, I am writing this at ten minutes to one in the morning. Having realised that I hadn’t done the blog (and I had a good idea of what I was going to write as that is in the previous paragraph) I have been playing with excel and was having so much fun (no, seriously, I was) that I lost track of time, and it was only when I picked up my IPad to do the nights post, that I realised the significance of the time and thought “Oh Dear, I’ve missed the boat, and now the counter will be back to zero” – so frustrating.

Anyway, I am now going to post this, shut down my I-Pad so that I have no screens to upset my internal clock and return to my book on the Plantagenets. That’s getting interesting, King John is upsetting everybody with his harsh justice, and inclination to tax everything and I think we are heading toward a big event (said somewhat tongue in cheek, as I think I know what’s coming). It’s getting so exciting. So, I’m going to say good night and wish all my readers well. Apparently, there are 67 of you now. Thank you so much for sticking with me.

I just want to write, but I prefer to stay away from controversial topics like politics. I am happy to confess that at the moment, I am writing for me. If you enjoy my writings, and I hope you do then that is all the better.
