The few flowers that are left in the garden are looking wet and bedraggled. We're back to the wet and not so cold weather once more. I have finally taken down most of the hanging baskets round the front door as although they haven't been affected by the couple of frosts we've had, there are only a few flowers left on each. Instead I've hung up some windchimes, (bl...y Shagri La mutters Peter when the wind sets them gently chiming).
I got up early, for a Saturday, and Linas and I went into town for a bit of shopping. Instead of heading for the main post office I decided to drive right across town to one of the few sub-post offices left. This was a wise choice as I only had 1 person in front of me in the queue and I know at this time of year the queue in the main post office winds back and forth and is often right out of the door. Despite having made a trip to BF's yesterday Linas persuaded me to drop in again so that he could stock up on his diet lemonade. It is very cheap but I hate buying it because the plastic bottles are heavy and cumbersome.
I did take a few photos inside the store to show the warehouse feel. Nothing like the white gleaming palaces of the big national chains , Tesco's, Sainsburies or even the slightly more downmarket Aldi or Morrison's. I do get a bit nervous taking pictures inside shops because I think that I'll be accused of industrial espionage. If it's a small shop I ask first and only take a few pictures.
These very expensive bars of chocolate have been on display for some time. The exotic flavours, including caramel & sea salt and further along the shelf one with chilli, can't really appeal to the usual BF shopper and the prices at 4 or 5 times even the fanciest chocolate bars would certainly be off putting. If the prices suddenly get slashed I might try some but maybe not the sea salt or the chilli ones.

Chilli and chocolate is a great combination but I'm not sure I'd fancy a whole bar.
No flowers at all left here by me. We got our first snow yesterday.
