Raining today, some really heavy showers, cool and quite windy,probably the back end of the Big Bertha just arrived up here.

Trip into town this morning, to purchase some of the small easy-peel oranges I like, they vary from 15 to 20 for £1, I eat them like sweets, tell myself they're good for me and not too over-loaded with calories.
Basis greengrocers, middle of town on the pedestrian street, the shop has a mixed history, been all sorts of things over the last 50 years but none of them lasted long. This young chap opened about 2 years ago, sells most things by the price not weight, a lot of little basins full of various produce, usually £1 per basin, or fruits at 6 for £1. His prices compare very well with the superstores, he seems very busy most days and has at least 2 full-time assistants. No packaging, everything on display to pick your own, people seem to like that, I know I do. A bag of my small oranges by his pay-point (no till here) and he asked me if I wanted them for £1, to be eaten soon. OK, I'll have them, there was 33 in the bag.

Cat been inside all today, probably doesn't like the rain any more than we do.
