Less food / Less threads

Well, we had our barbecue tonight, but the shopping side of it didn't go as well as I'd hoped. I thought there'd be loads of leftovers in the bargain aisle; instead there turned out to be very little choice when it came to meat of any kind. Obviously everyone in Suffolk turned into an insatiable carnivore over the weekend. And I forget that I can't do what I used to do when I worked in supermarket management and stash some stuff to one side in the fridges out the back so I know the things I like won't be bought out by the public. (Not that I'm confessing to ever doing that of course. I know it's a couple of years since I left, but I think they might be the kind of company to still come after you years later...)
So we had to make do with some standard Cumberland sausages (which were nonetheless very nice) and a few 'Steak and Butter Burgers' from the gourmet section that were ridiculously expensive for what they were, but again were very nice.

I have to say I've definitely been sleeping better over the past few days. Whether that's down to the reflexology treatment I had on Thursday, or whether it's down to June weather actually being June-ish, I don't know, but it's been lovely.  It's also been bloody lovely to finally make the jump from Winter to early Summer. On Monday night last week I was wearing a jumper and a coat and I was still cold; today I was wearing shorts and T-shirt and feeling overdressed.
