When we moved to the bungalow a year ago (blimey, a year already 😳) I had to sell or donate a high proportion of my books to make the move easier, so I felt justified in treating myself to the new Richard Osman one, the third in the series. I had a £3 Amazon voucher towards the cost so not too bad really 👍 I'm really enjoying it too....
mOn Tuesday, G offered to buy me lunch (when have I ever refused? 😁) and carvery was the order of the day at our local pub. I didn't have meat as I only eat a little poultry and the day's choice was gammon or beef, so a plate of veg was my choice. Piping hot and delicious for £5.45 and very filling with all the carbs!.....
It meant no cooking and just a simple tea later on. And it helped support the new landlord too, so win win 👍 We still want to eat out occasionally if we can, otherwise life is a bit boring, isn't it.
Are you still finding affordable places to eat out?
BTW we had our flu jabs yesterday with no issues so far other than a 'heavy' arm feeling. One down, Covid to go.
Stay safe everyone x
I used to love buying the 10p books at the library and managed to get a few real favourites that way.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a nice plate of vegetables and gravy just really hits the spot doesn't it and yes, it's nice to have an occasional meal out to support local businesses. Thank goodness for British Restaurants and chip shops being around during WW2 and therefore allowing me to still do this during my ration challenge.
We both have our Covid boosters and flu jabs at the weekend, fingers crossed for no side-effects.
The 10p books can be a real bargain and help me to find new-to-me authors.
DeleteYes, Sue, you are still on track with your ration challenge, aren't you, it's still authentic and what life would really have been like during the war years. People still had family crises to deal with after all.
My veggie meal was lovely :)
Good luck with your jabs!
One hitch with getting my books from the mobile library is that I rarely go to a library building to see any of the cheap books they are getting rid of!
ReplyDeleteAt least you are never short of reading material Sue!
DeleteI always seem to miss our library book sales. I really need to pay more attention to their Facebook page.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Our village library always has a trolley full of withdrawn books at just 10p per copy. If I remove the tatty plastic covers, the dust covers are usually pristine too :)
DeleteYour meal of vegetables look delicious! I haven't been to the library since Covid first started! Haven't bought any books, either!
