The Co-op Re-opens as Nisa! & Uncomfortable Nights....

 What used to be the Co-op has now re-opened as a Nisa Local.  The inside has been refitted and is beautiful; cool and inviting.....


Despite still having a post office counter inside, there are various drop off points for parcels and packages.....



Not that I will use any of them because I prefer the Post Office counter where I can actually speak to a human being 😏  Inside the store, although not fully stocked yet, everything is laid out to tempt you to purchase.  The premium ready meals look ok but at around £11.50 each I won't be buying any.....




The fuel station is still there, thankfully.  I just hope the price stays competitive.

Today, Tuesday, the weather is still so hot and humid that it's really uncomfortable.  I barely slept last night as it was still 28C in the house at midnight.  I just couldn't drop off and watched the sky start to lighten around 4am.  At 4.24am I heard the dawn chorus and recorded it on my Merlin App.  It recognised Carrion Crow, Blackbird, Wren, Robin & the inevitable Wood Pigeon.  I must confess I was a bit disappointed that there was nothing more unusual in our area.  I finally fell asleep listening to birdsong, and with the bungalow window wide open, at around 4.45am.  I had about 3 hours of restless sleep so feel like a zombie right now.


Gray took the car in for it's MOT at 9am, hoping to wait for it to be done, as we are meeting friends at 1pm in the pub for a cob lunch.  Sod's Law struck again and the machine broke down so the mechanic can't do it.  Gray has had to leave the car at the garage until further notice.  I will have to drive my old banger to the pub but it's a 3 door vehicle and our friends can't get into the rear and we won't be able to offer them a lift home.  Drat.......

How are you sleeping in this heat?  I hope the heatwave breaks soon.  It just makes me feel ill.


Take care everyone.  Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,
Angie 💗
