Things I have been thinking about.
Jul. 24th, 2009 09:26 pmThe local Somerfield is closing, and they have many offers on. Last night was weird, with crowds of people hovering, waiting for the booze to be half-priced, and buying bags and crates of it. It was all very desperate and somehow sordid, with the whole frenzy driving people to park on double yellows so they could, for example, carry out giant 12l cartons of bottled water, of all things. We only went out for bread and milk! I went out again today for more milk (I can only carry a little at a time) and it was much quieter. I finally found out what is happening to the place. It closes on 1 August, which we new, but reopens as a Sainsburys, which is unexpected (we all thought it would be a Co-op). Apparently, the only building allowed there is a supermarket, they're not allowed to redevelop as something else, and no doubt this has influenced its fate. Good. Little local shops are great for bread, vegetables, meat, fish and fruit, but there isn't anywhere else I can by goat's milk and St Agur cheese and Mattesons sausage.
Time Team is so cosy, and so low-budget compared to Mythbusters, but the enthusiasm is at about the same level. 'We have the best job in the world and we know it'. Awwwww. The Deadliest Catch is... exactly opposite. :0) I can watch, apparently, any amount of all of these programmes. And have been doing.
I'm vaguely aware of the Moon Landing having been about 40 years ago and am paying no attention to the news otherwise.
