Wet.

Very stormy this morning and not quite so wet in the afternoon. A day for wearing wellies to go shopping. Before I went out I used 'Paint' to add details to a floor plan of Red Roofs so Peter could email it to the plumber who needs to know some details of the utility room layout and also for the builder who wants a few details. He's going to have to take down all the kitchen units to put up a new ceiling and finish insulating the outer wall. Some of those units will have to go back temporarily until we buy the new kitchen.

My first stop was BJ's mainly to see if they had any suitable boxes. I found some larger boxes and was excited to find some that were long enough for my rolls of wrapping paper. In all I've got a dozen rolls which should be enough for a good few years. I then went on to Tesco's, Lidl and Asda. At Tesco's I finally put an unused large thing? of baby talc in the food bank bin. I'd bought it last year to temporarily freshen up the carpet in Red Roofs but then found some Shake'n vac. The carpet was thrown out on our next visit anyway. That must have been in early summer last year and I've been meaning to give the talc away for a while. I even got as far as bringing it along on one of my shopping trips but left it in the car and didn't have the energy to go back into the supermarket. Today I forgot to go straight to the donation place so I hoped that I wouldn't be accused of taking it without paying but I wasn't so finally that's done. As usual I checked out the Sale clothing in Tesco's and was stopped by a pink fluffy dressing gown but as hard as I tried I couldn't come up with any excuse to buy another dressing gown. 

Before I went out I got out the superglue to fix a split at the tip of my thumb. I underestimated how much glue came out and having been careful to not stick my finger tips together I discovered I'd stuck 3 of my fingers together along their length. Fortunately hot water and soap got my fingers apart without tearing the skin. Silly me.
