We always have around 30° !! and everything is yellow ! It hasn't rained since at least a month. Usually it rains every day !!<br />I am not surprised that the costs have increased, that's thanks to the Brexit politic ! The pound dropped drastically ! It's a pity ! I used to pay for one pound 1.50 Euro, now one pound is worth 0.90 £ ! Now for me it would be interesting to go to the UK !

You did well to find some bargains in the charity shops, especially with the yarn. The rise in food prices is a worry as we've been told even the cost of basics will continue to increase or be in short supply for various reasons. We tend to buy the same products when we do a weekly food shop and usually we manage to keep within the same price bracket so that we know where we stand with budgeting. We have to be careful about using the car, but it's not easy when it's needed for necessary trips and the occasional time out which then becomes a treat.

I hope that they were able to get Gerard's issues taken care of with medication. I do know how worrying it can all be.<br /> Food prices have increased greatly here also. I buy in the bulk bins as much as possible. That way you don’t have to pay for the packaging and you can get as small or large amount as you wish. I buy all of my spices, flour, sugar, cereal, nuts and other things that way. We have cut down drastically on our consumption of meat because of the high prices.<br /> I hope you have a lovely time enjoying your movie and crocheting.
