A day of firsts of sorts, today.

Mrs C took me the shops. Big Tesco, warehouse-high roof, mask on (another first) and not allowed to touch, only to point. First time I'd sat up front in the car in three months as well. There are clearly a lot of people making chocolate chip cookies as there were neither chips nor brown sugar (which are required for the recipe I have, but you can substitute brown sugar). First shop for me in three months...

I had plaice for tea (previous...

Target day. Week twelve completed and it was surprisingly easy to manage in general with the odd wobble but I'd have the odd wobble on any twelve week spell.

Changes? Well, a dozen eggs could last weeks before lockdown. As we stand at the minute, I reckon we're nudging three hundred for the period, possibly even just beyond that. Proper breakfasts about the four of us (Mrs C a huge fan, son converted, daughter always likes a couple of goes a week and I occasionally have a couple...
