… my day off yesterday and my new plans for the rainwater harvesting I went to Commentry today and bought everything that I need.<\/p>\n

Cost me an arm and a leg again but I ought to be getting used to this by now. <\/p>\n

And on the way home I thought of yet another potential improvement. But I’ll worry about that later.<\/p>\n

And while I was in Commentry I spent a small fortune too – a lot of which went on toys. <\/p>\n

Well, you might remember that I bought an eccentric sander for my workshop a few weeks ago. And today, LIDL was selling off its stock of sanding discs – 30 in a box and all for \u20ac1:00 a pack. <\/p>\n

At that price I had to clean out the store as I’ll get through a pile of them when I’m body-filling. There were a few other toys as well and it all adds up.<\/p>\n

One thing I did do was to buy some ready-mixed bread mix. My baker is on holiday and so when I cook my pizza on Sundays I can experiment with making bread. This ready-mixed stuff should make it easier.<\/p>\n

And what I didn’t do is spend any money in Centrakor or Les Bonnes Affaires – and that must be an event worth recording too – it’s probably never happened before.<\/p>\n

The swimming baths at Neris les Bains were crowded but it was all good fun. So hot was it that the sides of the baths were opened to the air. And I had to wait ages for my private shower – there was a queue.<\/p>\n

A report on the other new toys – the SatNav and the new electric coolbox from Tuesday. <\/p>\n
