Scotty gives me grief for my Lidl trips.
Reality is they have a Union Jack button on self checkout and it works brilliantly

Theyāre more patriotic about Britain than we are. 
And I resent the suggestion that I give you grief for shopping at Lidlās. I do most of my own shopping there.

Young Adult#1 has just got back from a week in Crete only to find itās Greek week in her local storeā¦
Edit: No @scotty , just noā¦ 
I need to go to bed when Terminator 3 is on TV
My birdās in Crete at the moment, recuperating after her month-long stint helping out with her daughterās wedding arrangements. To be fair, I donāt begrudge her the break at all, she was exhausted.

Good for her.
This week is apparently only week two of the Greek holiday season. Young Adult#1 said the locals told them last week was the last week of people wanting to go to do loads of stuff ( because the weather can be unpredictable) and from this week on its about the sun and relaxation- seems the bird has chosen wisely

Now, Iāve no objection to customers checking through the tuning once Iām finished, and Iāll admit that middle C unison isnāt as clean as it might have been. But when they pick niggling little holes in it like this cuntā¦

So
The nicotine patches were burning my skin, nasty reaction. And only about 8 days in to not smoking. They did work i got to 2nd Vodka before needing Gum or a sad emergency smoke.
And here i am 4 days no patches, 1 piece of gum 1 emergency smoke and even a night out clubbing was managed.
As @scotty asked i mentioned the sense of smell is back and acute. Damn Hyacinths smell wonderful!
And today Iām sipping a saved for a rainy day drop of Tamnavulin and oh hell yes, the taste sense is back big time.
Wow.
Annoyance? 2.
- Eating like mad and can feel the Kgs & waistline expanding
- No urges but actual physical affects - dizzyspells especially. Most unpleasant

1). I blame being a fat bastard on giving up the tabs (& Covid lockdowns)
- Had no physical effects - mainly a headache for first day or so, but nothing else. I think I was just at the stage where I really wanted to give up.
I developed a manic sweet tooth as soon as I stopped drinking. Still have it.

Fledgling birds - all previous years they have left me alone (apart from the bloody racket of wrens early in the morning).
Yesterday - one fledgling robin flew in the kitchen door, and kept trying to fly out the (closed) window. Also, one fledgling bluetit got into one of my netted ff raised beds.
Young adult 2 dealt with the robin, I had to go and raise the nets up to let the bluetit out

I think youāll find the rules in The Highway Code are now just treated as advisories. 
Driving is an artā¦or it used to be, today the āartā is texting whilst driving.
My Energy Supplier asking me for a meter reading when I have a fricking Smart Meter installed.
And their pop-up chat on their website makes a beep every time you get a message, so annoying.,

Iāve had that - I just ignore them.
Also had a bloke at the door asking to read the meter. No said I - I have a smart meter.
Can you read it t to me then says he. No said I, I have no idea how to read a smart meter.
So fuck off, I thought - and he did!
