 Dear Friends who bought #Nothing,

Sadly, I spent the whole day sorting out my food shopping. 

Well #food arrived three items short AND we were charged for them. I wrote to the CEO, got a reply and £10 voucher for a presumptuous online future purchase. My reply may have been from an executive bot designated Amy. It/she was far too polite, informing me the CEO had read my email. Wot? Really? Not convinced.

Their website is a mess of #nectar/#loyalty ‘points’ #discounts, #special offers and awful marketing tactics.

Completely #soul-destroying.

Well that was #Sainsburys UK. Not too keen on #Morrison’s my backup as they drive all the way from #Erith to deliver. Maybe will just try a walk in #Lidl, the thing is they are nearly cashless. #Asda and #Iceland, not too happy with quality. Co-op is ethically sourced, but like #Ocado, #Waitrose and #Marks-&-Sparks, too pricey. I have another plan using our local markets or possibly #Tesco again.

Being in #Tooting, I am spoiled for choice possibilities. I suppose my #breatharian aspirations are unrealistic.

I am a member of #erithyachtclub and this weekend we ran a#discoversailing day for people to visit the club in #erith on the #riverthames in #london and try sailing for the first time. I was amazed that in the end we had people on the water aged from 18 months to over 80 years old. #sailingnews
I've always liked rivers but walking along them has become more and more important to me. This year the Clyde, Thames & Mersey, as well as tributaries, have provided the backdrop to wanderings of peace and solace. I love the sense of time & history, as well as the interplay between human endeavour and nature. The pics are the Thames at Erith and Mersey at Warrington.
