the West Wing marathon continues

we've watched virtually nothing else since the boxed set of West Wing arrived. Over the weekend, we finished series 5 (which is where we'd got up to on television), and so now we're into new territory, for us.

( cut just in case anyone else is still catching up )

it's still terrific television - we have 15 (I think) episodes left till the end of series 6, then we have [cough] all of series 7 to date. And then what are we going to do?

very quiet really. Saturday, did shopping in Bedminster:

• greengrocer: spinach, hispi cabbage, four ruby grapefruit, mushrooms, baby sweetcorn, chillis, cauliflower, potatoes, pineapple. Forgot carrots, and we are out of lemons. Arse.
• little gift shop: clary sage essential oil, satanic rubber duck, elephant bookmark as displayed here, card to send to kalunina, who seems to have forgotten we exist
• health food shop: organic milk and cream, kidney beans, blackcurrant juice
• Aldi: (or possibly Lidl - I always get the muddled up) waffer thin turkey for the Tribe, some stilton

brunch in the yuppie café. Home for slumpage. Chilli from the freezer for supper. Too much wine. Lots of West Wing.

Sunday: up to the Mall to return a top to John Lewis because it went all baggy when washed according to the instructions. Accidentally bought a DAB clock radio - thankfully, this works upstairs, where it was wanted, but it does look as though downstairs in the kitchen (where I want another one) is not going to work without an external aerial.

could someone move that hill, please?

cooked roast chicken, spuds, cauliflower, carrots. No wine today, after yesterday. However, drank tea and consumed plain chocolate digestives. More West Wing.

big pot of soup made for the week: carrots, onions, potatoes, lentils, passata, veg stock, spices (cumin, coriander, fenugreek) - smells gorgeous. Want some now.

bed now. Monday tomorrow. Bah.
