holiday spending

i spent my monday by going out to shops a bit. from a charity shop i got a cute dress for my goddaughter (unplanned, it was just perfect, with pockets!) and Mark Kermode’s book Hatchet Job (a book about negative movie critiques). i later retreated to a local pub garden to read it. while there i also did some plane spotting as eastern landing Heathrow planes fly right over. im getting better at recognising the different plane types and i admit it brings me joy. 

i got this for dinner from the local italian where they know me.

yesterday i continued with the shopping theme and went to Brixton. i rarely go to actual shops these days, at least without a specific task or a shopping list, so this has been a nice change. i got some basic items from Superdrug, like a new eyebrow pen, and then a new foundation, body oil and some underwear from TK Maxx. 

using body oils is new to me. my skin is rarely so dry that i would even moisturise but it the past year i developed an interest in these.

i typically always go black but some shades or pink are welcome too.

then to continue with the shopping theme, i used chatgpt Agent to buy something online, as a test. it was slow, but it worked. might be useful for something sometimes, for now mainly non-shopping tasks though.

Amazon posted this on social media following Lionesses winning. i enjoyed the humour.

today i had the “massive” task of finding chewable calcium tablets for myself because the ones i just bought recently are huge. even split in half, they make me gag. im hoping doctor will finish the bottle cos i wouldn’t want them to go to waste. but i successfully located calcium chewables from the nearby Holland&Barrett and can consider the day a success? now i’m just downloading games on my phone to see if there’s anything i might like. i don’t generally play games so this is slightly unusual. on my list to test are: 

Turmoil 

SimCity BuildIt

The Battle of Polytopia

Forge of Empires: Build a City

Airport Security: Fly Safe

as said, i rarely play, but these occasionally get some time:

MiniMetro

Threes

Infection
