skyringMmmm. I like Apricot Turkishes. Moist and yummy. The Australian dried apricots are hard and sweet, just a little too tight and tart for my taste, but the Turks know how to tempt me.
Last of the anniversary truffles has gone. Twenty in the box and I think I managed to get three only. Always nice to see the rest of the family eating special treats and to deny them to myself.
Moccona coffee tubes are likewise gone. Finished them off in the writing frenzy. Nescafe just isn't the same.
Almost out of tea. Lots of herbal and fruit teas that nobody particulaly likes except when I have a cold. Liptons from Sydney all gone, Dilmah just about defunct. Kerri's Earl Grey no longer with us. Have some yummy Dilmah Yata Wati which they have stopped selling, the bastards. Rationing carefully.
Camembert stocks declining to alarming levels. Got two small wheels on special last week and have been using them up on rolls or Lebanese bread with bits of meat and mustard and hommus and baby spinach leaves and sundried tomatoes. All too often I finish skimpy little roll and make myself another.
Have decided Aldi Special Flakes on top of my morning Fibreplus are not good enough. Not crunchy enough. Special-K fills the bill.
Gone off yoghurt. Only worth buying when old and crusted and on special. Full-strength version too rich and luxurious, diet version replaces fat with sugar by way of deception, too sweet to enjoy.
Milk all but gone. Teenage son quite happily to drink a litre in a couple of gulps and not tell anyone until haggard father craves coffee in midnight hours.
Limit myself to one fruit bar per day.
Watch the birds eating their seed outside my window all day long. Parrots and others I like. Indian mynahs I zap with laser pointer and they fly off in alarm. Pigeons too stupid (or too smart) to react with alarm. They sit there and take it, eating the seed. Have to get up and shoo them away.
Grocery shopping today. Must replenish supplies.
