As my old mum used to say eat to many eggs you will get egg bound.

When I was on the stretch of road coming back into town the lorry just pulled out ahead of me from the recycling centre heading into town so I tried to stay in it's slipstream and get a tow, but I'm too slow these days to last long.Our bin men are making a lot of noise this morning.
Don't they realise that pensioners are still in bed?!

But Dirk us Grockles have to eat as well . Blocking narrow Devon lanes can make us very hungry .Morning all
A haircut is first on the agenda - a quick whizz over with a #3 will do the job.
Off to explore the brand new LIDL store in Barnstaple this morning. This means that Barnstaple now has 3 LIDL stores! Yes.....3!!
One of them is due to close as the site is needed for re-development, which is the reason they built the new one. A new ALDI will be opening opposite the new LIDL soon.
Currently, the large stores in Barnstaple are 3 LIDL, 2 Tesco, 1 Sainsbury, 1 Asda, Iceland, 1 ALDI soon to open plus several smaller supermarkets including Tesco Express, Co-Op, Spar, Premier etc.
Where do the get all of their customers from with a population of less than 100,000 in North Devon?
[edit] Wot no Waitrose

Was curious about why my 91 yo mother in Minehead seems to be completely oblivious to the covid situation. She’s very hard of hearing so I doubt whether she can hear the tv or radio news. So I checked out the website of her local paper. Not a single mention of covid in their headlines, it’s like they are in denial about the whole thing. Despite their case rates in West Somerset being over 100/100,000 and rising. No wonder I can’t get through to my Mum about how serious it is

This should give you lot a chuckle, me and my Good Lady on holiday in the Isle Of Wight 9 years ago, an excellent holiday.
I'm lead to believe there's a Waitrose in Torrington.Wot no Waitrose
It's pretty much been a non issue down here for several months, after the scare stories about how we were all going to die last year when they opened up tourism last July ....... and nothing happened.Was curious about why my 91 yo mother in Minehead seems to be completely oblivious to the covid situation.

Sterilized, pasteurized, one or two pint bottle, maybe even those new litre ones.There was a certain way to clean the milk bottles I'll have you know and men generally never did it right. They always did a half a***d job
Round or tapered bottle top, thin or standard neck size?

Yesterday was an optometrist/ errand day, so no bikey. Last night was an extremely fecund thunderstorm , maybe an inch of rain in an hour. Not much watering needed for a couple of days and much cooler. Hopefully this cleansed the air a bit from smoke from Oregon and Idaho. The smoke was foul with no uneccesary outdoor efforts being advised, but since it was Parade day here in Casper that advice was unheeded. The smoke was not good for Mrs 12 who can't breathe well anyway.
A dog walk and a ride this morning, then who knows? Always something to do here at the sty.
Ignoring unpleasantness has always caused it to go away, right?
Be safe and well.
