What was the last thing you bought?

[Ribenapigeon]

I might try a cheap smart watch just to try one but im a bit skeptical about them. They look like potential drawer lurkers that will go the way of my iPod.

A selection of vegetables. I have my last appointment with my Social prescriber this week and I promised her
that I'd cook something for her to say thank you for being so nice to me and helping me in ways that aren't really
what she's there for. Trying to get an introverted autistic basket case to do anything social is a bit of a tall order and
instead she has just been someone to talk to in the absence of anyone else. In our chats she revealed she is a vegetarian
so I'm making her and her fella some vegetable curry as a thank you even if despite over 6 hours with her still means
I'm still staying firmly locked inside my house for the foreseeable future.

There againsome of us just want a watch to tell the time, and have absolutely uninterested whether any mechanical device has a soul when they don't even think people have them.

Last year I tried to buy a pair of Chopard SCHC34M sunglasses but couldn't get any so I settled on a pair of Prada Linea Rossa PS55WS:

But today I was finally able to find somewhere with stock, it's not the version I wanted (silver) specifically but I also really like the gunmetal colour so I just went for it. I expect them to be a little like marmite but I love the look of them.

I would NOT pay £300 for any watch. I think i paid half of that for this and it's been my goto watch for the last 2 or 3 years plus a good 3 years using the previous model. I get a good 2 days out of one charge plus it can receive calls if i absolutely can't reach a phone to answer it.

It's also big enough (and metal enough) to be robust and stand up to some proper abuse and because the glass is recessed inside a metal ring, there's no chance of shattering it when you clip an edge - as other watches have done.

ATEOTD watches are a highly personal thing - i'd never get rid of the Seikos i have, i really like them - i'm just not at the point where i want to ditch this in place of them.

Well, a new watch is off the list as the car wouldn't start, battery completly flat. So off to bloody halfords.

Random shit on special offer, that's how I roll. This week: Angioletti Italian Cider. Weird concept If you're more of a fan of dry ciders I'd certainly recommend it

If you like cider, seek out 'Black Rat'

Admittedly it's no longer the mental stuff it was when I was drinking the rough stuff but Ste and the No.1 both like it.

I stopped drinking cider when I was about 17 so really can't advise. I know Ste and the No.1 like it but thats about it.

Apart from Thatchers Gold. It tastes just as shit as it tasted 35 years ago when it was orange and tasted like shit and got you really pissed, which, along with how cheap it was, was the only reason why you drank it.

Mendip magic, may have been off the mendips but it wasn't magic, tasted like shit and you'd be found in a hedge in the morning...

Anyhoo, I've now moved on to the "commercial" variant of Rattler which is a mere 6% (whereas the draught "in country" version is >8%) and I'd peg it as a medium versus the previous Italian cider.
