Piggy piggy PIG!

[venta]

Well, I just went to Woodley to buy some batteries. I failed - they proved too obscure for the likes of Robert Dyas and the Post Office - but found a Farmers' Market.

So I now have real apple juice - I like to think of it as blood wrenched from living apples. And some apple and ginger juice. And some intriguing-looking cider. And some handmade cheese with tomato and paprika in it.

And there was a pig roast going on. So I got a bun full of pig and apple sauce and crackling.

Farmers' Markets are a good thing.

(And I have batteries, too, but had to hitch a lift to the rather more prosaic Maplins with Sysadmin #1 to acquire them.)

I was in Harrods yesterday, and I consumed Pepsi. In a stairwell.

Mind you, I had brought it in with me.

However, I'd be very surprised if you couldn't get Coke there. I haven't checked there in a very long time, but it used to be that the main food "hall" with all its exotic and/or expensive stuff actually extended over several halls on the ground floor [note: now more restauranty than I remember it being 10-15 years ago], but there was a smaller section in the basement below which was almost supermarket like (with supermarket checkouts, 'n'all).

That supermarket was great, because it catered partly to the American consumer by selling imported American product. Now, everyone knows that Kellogs Sultana Bran is a most fine breakfast cereal, but in Harrods you could get the superior Kellogs Raisin Bran, for it was that which was sold there.

Note: Raisin Bran != Bran Flakes + raisins. Tried that.
