Awesome/Annoying Saturday morning →[More:]
Awesome : I got all my fruit and vegetables at Lidl for about half the price they'd have cost in Waitrose.

Annoying : That cauliflower that looked the size of a basketball was about 75% leaves and stalks, leaving an actual cauliflower about the size of a monkey brain. (Waitrose caulis are no different, so at least I only paid 50p for it unlike the £1.69 Waitrose charge.)

Very Annoying: On my way home, driving down a narrow lane with high hedges on both sides I nearly collided with a frigging Dreams delivery truck and had to drive into the hedge, scratching the side of my car. It took the arsehole driver five minutes to manoeuvre past me and all the other cars backed up behind me. There are signs saying this lane isn't suitable for small trucks, never mind trucks that deliver fucking beds!

Awesome : I went into one of those old-fashioned hardware stores that sells everything and got four soup spoons for 50p each. Every time I use a soup spoon in a restaurant I remember how much easier it is to eat/drink soup from one, and I make a lot of soup. So, win for me.

Awesome : The hardware store also had some beautiful rose bushes for sale, really healthy specimens at a great price.

Annoying: I couldn't carry any rose bushes, and parking restrictions mean I couldn't park anywhere close.

Extremely Awesome : I walked over to a butcher I'd driven past many times but never been into. It's a proper old-fashioned butcher, all free-range, organic meat (but no more expensive than Waitrose), and they have a cashier in a little booth to take the money, which is something I've not seen in a butcher store since I was a child. If the piece of rib-eye steak I bought for dinner tastes as good as it looks, I'll be going back.

Annoying : Driving home I had to go down a narrow street with cars parked all along the opposite side. The rule is that if there are cars parked on the side of the street you're driving on, then you give way to oncoming traffic. Except the arsehole in the Jaguar decided he wasn't going to do that, and so it was another 'slam on the brakes' moment. There was nowhere I could go, so eventually, after a bit of a Mexican stand-off, he had to reverse and yield to me.

It was no surprise to me to see he looked exactly like Larry David.

Awesome : I made a fabulous cheese omelet with some fresh free-range eggs I'd just bought.

Oh-so-Annoying : As I was flipping it out of the skillet, it fell onto the floor.

Awesome : An omelet takes 30 seconds to make, so omelet No. 2 has just been consumed.
