Yes, I did try turning it off and then back on again!

As the title suggests, the long gap between blogging was a result of my computer choosing to no longer compute.  A blue screen telling me to restart in a different mode, identical to the one I'd just tried that had taken me to the same blue screen.  Although I purchased a new computer quite soon, It has only stopped demanding that I install updates I'm not sure I want or select options I really could not care less about. 

It means this picture of a Christmas fail is much later than I intended.  It was just before Christmas that I went on the annual pilgrimage to buy sprouts (sprouts are a great veg, why are they christmas only?). 

I was puzzled by the Tesco display that showed a varity of pack types and sizes and alarmingly a huge variation in pricces for the same vegetable.  Depending on whether you bought them loose, in a net, in a small bag, large bag or on a stalk prices ranged from 89p per kilo to £4.00 a kilo (not that you'd know at a glance).  How can this be justified?

Of course the shelves were well stoicked so you could make your choice.  However don't always trust the small print that tells you price per kilo.



Sprouts £1.00 for 250g.  How is that £3.34 per kilo.
