Hi friends,
Oh my God!
What is happening in this country?
Hope you are
OK and your families and houses are not affected by this weather.
I actually
went to Waitrose in Stratford in this weather to get some foods this morning. I
now admit that it was an act of madness.
When I went
out, it was just drizzling, not seriously raining. By the time I arrived there,
it became so windy, almost, stormy. I could not find a parking slot as it was
already really busy. I gave up using their own car park. Instead, I parked my
car in a local car park next to it. I was nearly blown away when I was queuing
for a ticket.
Waitrose was chaotic with the last minute desperate shoppers including me.
I only
needed soya milk, eggs and some bread but it took absolutely ages for me to reach a till.
Thankfully,
I could come back without any troubles but I feel absolutely exhausted. The BBC
is now telling us that our area has got “amber” warning and urge us to stay at
home unless otherwise you absolutely must.
I was
supposed to have lunch with my friend in Warwick today but we decided to
postpone our catching-up as he pointed out that it is rather suicidal to go out in my car when weather is that bad. Just like its owner, it is a good looking car for its
age, but absolutely hopelessly unpractical.
His remarks
made me laugh. Yep, I agree with him that I am absolutely hopeless when it
comes to practicality and it seemed that I was the only shopper in a dress and high-heels
in Waitrose in this weather!
Should I
change my image to be a woman like his car, Land Rover Defender? It looks its
best when it is covered with mud and cow pads……..NO WAY!!!
Today’s
breakfast.
