Good Morning Wednesday Birds.

Still pitch black outside - feels like the middle of the night! Could easily have just pulled the duvet up over my head and stayed there for the day. Need to have last parcels for Xmas in post today come what may so will spend this morning wrapping the contents etc... will feel loads better once they're done. Meant to be going food shopping this evening with MrSmow at a large supermarket of his choice - now considering I don't even remember the last time he did a food shop  with me this should be interesting. And when I do I either shop online, or go to a local store, but no no no.... he wants to go to a huge one about 20 odd mins away at least. Oh well, let him have his way - am pretty sure after about 10 mins down the 1st aisle he will be screaming to go back home LOL !

Let him go on his own, Smow. Give him a list.

Far nicer to open a bottle of wine, open the supermarket app and get the whole lot delivered. He must be mad.

I've got my supermarket delivery today and my butcher and greengrocer will deliver on the 23rd.  I'll bob up to my local small supermarket on Monday to top up the milk and cream if necessary.

Barry - I completely agree with you, but for some insane reason he wants to do it. He seriously doesn't realise how long it is going to take - it will take up the entire eve if you include driving there and back.  I envisage much swearing!!!

Going round a supermarket with OH is a big NO NO!  Mr U takes me, gets a newspaper and disappears into the cafe. Suits me I get round in half the time without him.

Last night's train ride was great the lights were brilliant, bit spoilt due to the rain, mainly adults as it was the non Santa one.  Your little grandchild will love it in a few years time, it goes from Paignton station.

Ahh ubasses - is it the steam train?? If so then I've seen it going along the top when I've been on the seafront at Goodrington Sands. I looked up details on going on it and it looked a great trip.

[ubasses]

Yes, that is the one, you can do a round robin, nice in the summer. Train to Kingswear, ferry over to Darmouth, boat up the river to Totnes and open top bus back.

You get some time in both Dartmouth and Totnes. 

[Smowball]

Yep that's the one! Oh must definitely do that then - how long do they give you in Dartmouth?

[ubasses]

It has some flexibility, you book the whole thing, but choose your train and boat times, just don't miss the last bus back.

[Smowball]

Good point!

Slight good news on the shopping trip front - MrSmow has agreed to go to our local Sainsburys (bout 10 mins away) rather than the huge superstore he was planning on going to over 20 mins away! Small mercies lol.

Does it have a café for parking spouses?
