Mr J's 'big shop' took a little longer than expected today, but it did include a slight diversion as I looked around for some Easter goodies for family.

Asda was the usual busy Saturday scrum, with limited pickings and empty shelves, so a quick ride to Iceland was required to find the last items on the list.

Mr J was quite upbeat, and hopeful that he would soon be able to leave his flat for more than a walk to the paper shop. He is waiting to hear from his bowling club as they are planning an intra-match before the end of the month.

Hopefully things work out for Mr J and his bowling buddies soon.
