Friday 4th August 2017 – WHAT A NICE …

… meal!

I was at the shops today and at LIDL they were selling a pack of three peppers for just €1:49. Couldn’t resist that so I grabbed a packet. That’s one for the curry next week and the other two – well, one today and one tomorrow with a few bits hived off for the pizza on Sunday.

I like stuffing, and mine is excellent. An improvement on last weeks because I boiled up some bulghour and added that to the chopped tomato, mushrooms, onions, garlic, olive oil, pepper and herbs.

But not as good as last week because I forgot the tomato sauce.

Anyway, there’s more than enough left over for tomorrow – the rest will go in the curry on Monday.

But I shan’t do that again though – leaving it late to go shopping. I’ve tried to be away by 08:30 and first in the supermarket but it was 10:30 when I arrived and the queues at the tills at LIDL were out of the door.

And the usual mayhem at LeClerc. I’m glad that this is my last shop of the holiday season. Next time that I shop, it will be in Montreal. But all in all today, I spent just €24:00 for food for the week – and nothing else. No little toys or anything.

Mind you – grapes were at €1:69 in LIDL …

I had a strange night last night – awake at 06:30 and it’s been a while since I last woke up before the alarm. Mind you, I crashed out for half an hour this afternoon and that’s been a while too.

Lunch on the wall in the wind, and I’ve done some cleaning up too – necessary as you could smell the bin from down the street.

But highlight of the day has been finding a batch of about 500 *.zip files from 2010 that relate to when I started with my 3D program. I couldn’t find them when I changed computer in 2011 and subsequently forgot all about them.

But rooting around in a miscellaneous folder on an old hard drive that I’d coupled up to an external caddy, there they were. I’ve been uploading a few (like 200 or so) to the laptop and I’ll do the rest another time.

See – I am still being busy even if my motivation has all gone for the moment.
