Ivor’s Daily Gallivant Friday 10th March 2023 I still had the tale end of my cold and stayed in bed until it was light outside so any electricity I used was generated by my solar panels. Yesterday when a technician from Switch Energy came to add ventilation to my loft insulation he told me that with solar panels if I waited in bed until it was light I would generate power for free saving money. I liked the sound of that I had a pain in my back from where my mattress was uneven or perhaps it was where the spring in my armchair was broken. The post arrived but I paid it no heed as I was warm and comfortable. Eventually I got up needing a pee and had a look: it was a fund raising pack from Diabetes UK and an Epilepsy Society tee shirt. I left the fund raising pack unopened on my food preparation surface. The diced beef intended for my evening meal had thawed out ready but I did no more with it. I needed onions to cook with it. The adage ‘don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today’ is familiar to me but well ‘sufficient unto the day the evil there of’ is another favourite… Not very much gallivanting done today in the evening I decided to go to the Co-op and see if there were any tempting offers. I decided: to give myself some exercise and save time; to run there and back…. When I was there, nothing caught my eye: so I bought a KFC chicken and chips for my evening meal with a coffee which I ate in the restaurant accompanied by the bland tedious music. The chips resembled cardboard in taste and texture….. A lady stood waiting for a family meal which made me wonder ‘do people really give their children this rubbish?’ Someone should inform the NSPCC. The coffee was surprisingly good: white americano which was out of character with the rest of the place.
