Asda

I am undecided whether I love or hate Asda at the moment. I hate that they no longer sell Smart Price basmati rice, poppy seeds, or normal orange lentils. I love that if you go at the right time in the evening you can get great reduced stuff. This week I have got: mangos for 10p each, a whole pineapple for 10p, bag of 5 lemons for 5p, a bag of 5 kiwifruit for 10p, melon for 12p, 4 x little gem lettuces for 10p, loaf of bread for 16p, big bag of stir-fry vegetables for 12p, 3xcourgettes for 10p and a few other bits and pieces. It is nice to be able to fill a whole rucksack with nice food for less than a fiver. Amazing!

We made very nice smoothies from some of the fruit, bread+butter pudding with the bread, and if I can find somewhere that sells poppy seeds, I hope to make lemon+poppy seed cake...

No news on the postdoc yet, they contacted at least one of my referees on Monday, but not heard anything since. I suspect that I haven't got it, but it will be nice to find out for definite.
