I really didn't want to go out shopping in the pissing rain, but I was completely out of coffee... however, once I was actually out there I enjoyed myself. Bought dog food (in this household, that means fresh beef mince and frozen chicken) and coffee and sliced gala pie and tobacco and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and milk and probiotic yoghurt - the gala pie and the yoghurt both knocked down so cheap it would have been rude not to.

Rain makes both the dogs skittish and bouncy - me too, come to think of it. We careered up Woodbury Avenue galloping wildly in all directions, aquaplaned across the car park, skidded and splashed back, Spike jumping in trees and puddles and Squish mincing to avoid them and me grinning up at the sky. I loved it. Now we're back, Squish has stopped chasing his tail and I am wrapped in a blanket chatting to [livejournal.com profile] captain_lila in a miasma of wet dog and percolating decaff. I am ready for anything. I love you.

ETA: Who here has read both Brinkmanship and Lila's Klingon stories? There's a sequel/collaboration in the works, and we could do with a beta reader... someone to help us stitch the patchwork pieces of two untidy minds together and neaten up the edges. Anyone?

Mmm...I didn't know what a "gala pie" was, so I just looked it up. That sounds tasty. Enjoy your coffee! :)

mm, pie! *munch*

Coffee is the life essence. I did, once, run out and make the mistake of waiting till the next morning to go shopping - never, ever again...

I looked
there're 2 kinds of Gala pie
One's sausage with egg, the other is made with apples
which did you have?

The kind that's a slice from a long rectangular pork pie with an egg down the middle. Asda had knocked the price down to 25p and I am cheap.

Thrifty's too sensible, darling. I'm just plain old cheap.

And easy. ;-)
