E by gum!

Apparently this is how they get high in Yorkshire - injected into the mouth.
I have come to check this out & see aj whilst here. I can't actually see her at this moment as she has gone to a focus group, but should be back soon to whisk up some local cullinary delicacy (cook/chill from JS, just down the road!)
I drove up this morning in the small tinny petrol free ka.
This necessitated a trip to Coleshill for fuel then Dunton, M42, A42. It all went downhill from there with 20 miles of roadworks on the M1 followed by torrential rain for the rest of the journey. All of this in a small tinny ka with seats that only go back or forward. Still, to be positive, it does have a radio that gets radio 4, is waterproof & doesn,t have a big dent in the rear end.

Aj & I used our bus passes (first time for mine) to go into York, coffee & a scone/teacake in M&S(only 70p, thanks to M&S premier vouchers) & a tootle around the shops.
Not a swimsuit to be had anywhere, apart from the Speedo Olympic T bar - unflattering for the more mature figure & guaranteed to give a ridiculous tan.
I did buy some bamboo socks, which have remarkable properties, allegedly - twice as absorbent as cotton, kills bacteria & enables the wearer to do amazing feats.
If they work, that,s my Christmas presents sorted.

We plan a trip to Wetherby tomorrow - aj favours the car rather than the bus - then the Outlet centre in search of out-of-season clothing then home.
I have a focus group in the evening. Jamie has just popped in & forsees a pub quiz to round off the evening.
