\"SWEAT<\/a> … almost everything in LIDL these days, don’t they?<\/p>\n

I’m not quite sure what the point is of it, but it’s here all the same.<\/p>\n

I was far more interested in the grapes, at \u20ac1:99 per kilo. And yet another load of those disappeared into my shopping bag this morning. I need to stock up while the stocking is good.
<\/p>\n

I slept right through again until the alarm went off, but seeing as I had something of a late night it wasn’t really as good as it sounds.<\/p>\n

An early start to the day followed by an early shower, and then an early trip to the shops before the grockles could get there. And quite right too. I was actually there before 09:00 and the place was fairly empty, quite a surprise for a Saturday.<\/p>\n

My bill in there wasn’t all that excessive because I’m not buying too much just now, with plans to travel in a week’s time.<\/p>\n

NOZ was more exciting. I turned up just as it was opening at 09:30 and had a good look round. The star of the shop was a pair of curtains. The right width but the length was a little too long. I should have brought my sewing machine back from the Auvergne I suppose but instead I’ll pin them up.<\/p>\n

The crowds were starting to build up in Leclerc. Despite buying a pile of frozen food, the bill came to about \u20ac11:00. Again, I’m not buying much before I go away.<\/p>\n

ON the way back home the traffic had built up and there were grockles everywhere. It took ages to return home.<\/p>\n

\"marite<\/a>Three lizards again for lunch, and this new batch of hummus that I made yesterday is just as good as the last lot.<\/p>\n

Regular readers of this rubbish will know that I’ve been having issues with the Nikon D5000<\/a>\"\" camera. I’ve brought the other lens back from the Auvergne and took a few photos with it<\/p>\n

It was quite a good moment to do so, because Marite<\/em> was out there doing her stuff.
<\/p>\n

\"marite<\/a>I don’t know where she’s been but it looks as if she is coming back.<\/p>\n

She did a U-turn just outside the harbour and then headed into the entrance. But what disappointed me was that she didn’t do it under sail, but with what I suspect is an auxillary engine.<\/p>\n

That’s a bit of a cheat if you ask me.
<\/p>\n

\"period<\/a>But at least she won’t be alone in the harbour.<\/p>\n

Parked up at the quayside next to Marit\u00e9’s<\/em> berth is this other really fine period-looking (apart from the solar panel) yacht.<\/p>\n

I’ve no idea who she might be, so I shall have to go for a wander down there at some point in the near future and have a look. She looks quite magnificent from here.
<\/p>\n

I should have been having visitors today but there’s a delay on the road so I’m free until tomorrow evening. So in a change to the usual routine I took this afternoon off and mooched around on the internet.<\/p>\n

Much of the time was spent chatting to someone in Montreal and someone else in Alaska. I’m starting to become all nostalgic, especially as my social media page keeps on reminding me that I’m usually in Canada at this time of the year. I must stop being so broody.<\/p>\n

Tea was the last of the vegan sausages with vegetables and cheese sauce. And just as delicious as the first batch too.<\/p>\n

\"gymnase<\/a>And later on this evening I went for a walk around. The purpose this evening is to do some more experiments with the new lens.<\/p>\n

It’s the cheapest lens available for this camera and so I wasn’t expecting all that much. And that’s just as well because the quality is not what I would like to have.<\/p>\n

While the lighting is correct, the quality isn’t and the photos have come out extremely grainy.
<\/p>\n

\"harbour<\/a>So while you admire the evening looking over the Baie de Mont St Michel and jullouville, at least it proves one thing<\/p>\n

And that is that it’s the original lens that seems to be at fault, so it wasn’t a waste of time after all.<\/p>\n

What I’ll have to do now is to set to and order a new decent lens like the one that failed, and see where we go from there.
