Carrots.

We are all different. Thankfully and that is a good thing. What is important for one isn’t for another. Last Week Tuesday was the last time I went outside. And I had hoped to be inside for at least two weeks. Today while I was in my comfy pyjamas and snugly dressing gown, chilling watching the telly, my Husband said to me, “In a bit, after the first rush at Tesco after 11am I want you to take me to Tesco so I can get some carrots, (as Paul thought today was Sunday).” Now personally if I was never to eat another carrot again as long as I lived, it honestly wouldn’t have bothered me. Now my Husband wanted me to get dressed and drive him to Town (as he doesn’t drive) to buy carrots! What? I had heard right.

I replied, “I’ll have a bath first,” He said, “You can stay in the car,” I replied, “I still need to have a bath first”. Paul knew I wouldn’t want to get out of the car or go into Tesco. So, while he took the dog out for a walk, I had had bath.

Before I drove off Paul said, “I also want to go to Wilkerson’s,” I said, “OK.” The roads were busier that I thought they would be, when you hoped that most were, “Staying home.”

When we arrived at Tesco the carpark wasn’t as I knew it before now there was red and white tape showing where we could and couldn’t drive and huge metal barriers, it didn’t seem to be a one-way system but, a no entry at this section. I didn’t park near the stores entrances like I usually do, I parked far away where there were less cars, as Paul got out, he said to me, “Lock the doors,” So I did. I played Words With Friends on my mobile.

Fifteen minutes later Paul returned to the car, he said when he came back in, “The way they have set out the queues, it would take me two hours to get into Tesco. When I went to Wilkerson it was one person in the shop at a time!” Undefeated he said, “Lets drive to the next Town!” So, we went to the next Town a few miles away. I parked the car and locked myself in and carried on playing Words With Friends. I then had a brainwave, I decided to cover the passenger side of the door handle with hand sanitiser!  Paul does not like or use hand sanitiser, but while doing this, I opened the car door setting off my car alarm.

Ten minutes later, Paul returned to the car with his carrots, he was a happy bunny, excuse the pun.
