The Pensioner

To Balerno

Out to the aunt’s. And for once I didn’t turn up on my own. No - I took along some Biscoff filled doughnuts. Well chosen. Well, there is a Co-op 100yds from her gaff. Oh, she's sharp. At one point I said we’d just finished Season 2 of Better Call Saul. She was astonished I was watching something so old. Bob Odenkirk is pretty good though she said - and started telling me about Nobody which he was in more recently. Not bad for 94.
And then her daughter C showed up. Newly a granny and enjoying it very much. Though we both agreed that the ridiculous cost of housing which drives both parents to work full time just to pay their mortgages, which then forces full time child care onto them, is a disgrace. Which we’ve all been complicit in, of course. 
Back via Screwfix for more essentials. Yes, really, I’ve bought a DeWalt t-shirt! 100% rugged it says. That’s me, folks. And also to the Amazon lockers to pick up a 35ml drinks measure. I’ve been a bit concerned that I’ve been pouring myself oversized drinks, y’see. I can hardly believe it. It’s tiny!! I’m not sure it’ll cover the bottom of the glass. I may return it as faulty.
