Then on our road trip to Droitwich...
First stop was to visit the Droitwich Lions Event.

We said goodbye to them, and moved the car to the other car park. 
Now onto look round some Charity Shops.
The first one had a big map of the world.

I found a book for my Father-in-law for next Christmas.

Now for a drink and a nibble when we came out.
Still raining on the way to pick up son from his job.
Once we got home, it was time to unpack all our bargains we got.
The coffee machine went on,

Soup maker.
The 2000 piece world puzzle will keep son busy.
Now for much needed coffee.
The soup was lovely!
Sweet Potato, vegetables, tomatoes, herbs and added Chilli for added kick.
I finished it off what was left in the soup maker as it was so nice. 
As hubby didn't go food shopping last night.
He went this afternoon with younger son who was doing our neighbour's food shopping.
I meanwhile had other things to do.
Washing machine went on as well as the Dish Washer.
Now to write yesterday's blog post.

The hunt for Chicken Mince was called off, as they couldn't find any.
Younger son was miffed off as so many wasn't wearing their face masks.
Unpacked the shopping.
Time for light tea.

Now to catch up with some telly programmes from this week.
First up was:
"Dragon's Den"

Time to open a bottle of non-alcohol fizz.
Quick look into today's newspaper.
Peter  Sarstedt, briefly billed early in his career as Peter Lincoln, was an English singer-songwriter and instrumentalist. He was the brother of musicians Eden Kane and Clive Sarstedt.
Although his music was classified as pop, it generally encompassed ballads derived from traditional folk music rather than traditional rock and roll. He was best known for writing and performing the song "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)?", which topped the UK Singles Chart in 1969. Set to a "faux European waltz tune" and described as "a romantic novel in song", it won an Ivor Novello Award. The record remained Sarstedt's biggest hit. He had 1 more hit single and 1 hit album but despite numerous releases never had chart success again. 
He died on this day aged 75 in 2017. 
The Ministry of Food introduced food rationing in the UK, to ensure there was enough food to go round during the Second World War. Britain was particularly vulnerable to a naval blockade as it imported 20 million tons of food per year on 8 January 1940.
TV series "All Creatures Great and Small" debuts on BBC TV, based on the books by James Herriot, starring Robert hardy and Christopher Timothy in 1978.
The first episode of Gimme Gimme Gimme broadcast on BBC2. It ran for 3 series and starred Kathy Burke and James Dreyfus in 1999.
 
Sleep tea time.

The deaths were 313 today :(
We have reached the grim total of 150,057 deaths :(
