Assorted disappointments
Jan. 18th, 2019 07:47 pmI thought I was getting over the slight cold I've had all week, but today it has turned into a much-less-slight cold instead. (At least it's the weekend; I was already planning to spend most of tomorrow in bed to try to shake the blasted thing.)
T is out tonight, and between a busy week and the aforementioned cold there was no way I felt like cooking, so I went to M&S intending to buy ravioli, but they were out of every type of ravioli apart from the "lasagne" one (meat and bechamel sauce filling) which I don't much like the sound of even if I wasn't trying to choose meat-free meals when I have a choice in the matter (ie, I will eat meat if T or someone else cooks it for me, but not if I'm cooking for myself or ordering in a restaurant). I got macaroni cheese instead, but it's not the same. I wonder if I should add ravioli to my Brexit stockpile list, given that it freezes well. (I also wonder if the people of North Oxford are way ahead of me on this, and that’s why there wasn’t any tonight.)
I also ordered some sports bras from M&S as they were relatively inexpensive and I thought they might be a good alternative to my normal bras when I want to look less feminine, but although they do have the right compressing-and-minimising-bounce effect the fit is dreadful, so I think they are going to have to go back and I will just have to save up to replace my current bras with better-quality sports bras.
Bah.
