DON'T GO INTO A FOOD STORE HUNGRY.

by menhir @ 06 May. 2008 - 20:27:05

Would you know it, the day I absolutely have to stay in and clear the decks with all sorts of important stuff, following a bank holiday, the weather is fabulous. The stiff breeze is warm and when I do put my head out the door, very briefly, (it is to do with the important stuff, honest) I find I am over-dressed, I am actually, too warm!

Discipline is called for, it is tempting to stay out, but no, I manage to stay focussed and go back home to complete the tasks. It means that when I do go out again I can stay out just a short time, no longer, as the evening meal will be wanted. Truth to say, I am peckish and want to eat something.

Going into a food store feeling hungry is not a good idea. The store helps me out. Most of the fresh produce is so well picked over, that much of what I want is out of stock.

I have a shared moan with someone who has been stuck in an office on this glorious day, then I go home. During our meal, I suggest that later we go out for a walk together. We do. And I am glad we did.

It was amazingly hot, wasn't it? I normally shiver but today I discarded my woolly and was really glad I'd plastered sun cream on my arms.

I know what you mean about shopping when hungry - it's all too easy to spend pounds on crisps, cakes and biscuits rather than healthy snacks!

I benefitted more from yesterday, and intend to do so today as the day has dawned a glorious one. One or two chores to be done first.

I forgot to put sun cream on and I have two beetroot arms; I ended up plastering on aloe vera (from the leaf) and later some relief cream. The real problem was that I had managed to get well and truly hit by nettles on the arm most red, and that was really the main irritation problem. I've started today with the sun cream and I haven't been out yet!

The end of a perfect day.

That's a good plan not to go grocery shopping when you are hungry. I spend enough at the grocer's as it is!

Hope you enjoyed your walk.
