It's off to the wonderful world of Tesco tonight, to get some more food - you know when you get to the point when there's nothing but a half-eaten carrot and some mouldy mayonnaise in the fridge? Well, we're nearly there.

I guess I should be a lot more environmentally friendly about buying my groceries, and go to the local markets, and my little grocer's shop round the corner. But I hardly ever do (although I do try and make it to the farmer's market at Tynemouth station once a month). It's just so much easier to do all your shopping in one fell swoop. And they take switch (does anyone ever carry cash nowadays?).
