Monday again already and the Olympics have been and gone.
Roll on the Paralympics. Transport woes will not be so bad then methinks. I
would have thought that Canada Water station (my mid run transfer) would have
been quieter today, but no, it was about as busy as it has been for the last
couple of weeks.
The forecast threatened rain this afternoon and, well there
was teensy bit of drizzle but not much. We did take our brollys with us but
didn’t need them.
I went for a walk at lunch time, I had a bit of mail to post
and as the closest post office is generally pretty crowed at lunch time I walked
to the other end of the of the precinct. There is still a big screen replaying Olympic
events at one of the grassed areas and a few folks were sitting around having their
lunch there. Mail successfully posted I
decided to go into the mall to some shopping. Over here there is a huge chain
of pharmacies called Boots and believe it or not it is cheaper to shop in there
for some products than the supermarket. Panadol is 19p for twenty and today I
bought mouthwash, three for the price of two and a pound off each cos I had a
promo voucher. And the toothpaste, three for the price of two. Who can resist it?
Well I didn’t.
On the way back there were security guards directing
people around what looked like a group who were filming, when I asked him what
hey were doing he just shrugged and said
probably for an add. Interestingly enough the little two tone car that they
were using is so very like one that we often see on our way to the library. Will
have to check it out the rego number next time to see if it is the same.
