Irritated I had sufficient fortitude not to weaken and purchase any of the loveliness, at the foodie market, whilst out for our lockdown stroll....

Then to arrive home to find the bleep bleep washing machine has thrown a wobbly... Cutting the lawns put on hold... Appliance repairman mode engaged...
