Saturday 19^th April

It’s wet and grey outside, but luckily my wife has had people in to do the garden so I can have a great lie-in, before heading out to the supermarket.  I still don’t know how they conned me into buying shed loads of food that I won’t be around to eat, but I’m just happy to be sauntering around in Sainsburys where I recognise most of the stuff on the shelves, although the prices are a bit steep compared to Russian prices.  Ah yes – I love good old rip-off Britain!

I also notice that everytime I come home, petrol seems to have creeped up another few pence per gallon, it really is getting stupid now, just how we're been taken to the cleaners by every man Jack these days.

Sunderland don’t play until tomorrow so the football today is more a case of sussing out how the other teams in and around the bottom of the league are doing.  The results are mixed, but not disastrous for us.

We all then spend most of the rest of the day sorting out paperwork, invoices, post, etc.  The lovely things in life.
