h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm more worried now after reading that potato post. She gave me potatoes for dinner last night, so I' wondering if there's a subtle warning in that post...

I'd say it's a clear indication that Mala wants to have rice for supper.

Bel, of course I know how much potatoes weigh - I never have a car to do my shopping.....
but since you don't have to feed him anything else, that saves the weight of meat and the lot....

Why don't you let him do the shopping? Or get your boys to help you? At least they do eat as well, don't they?

(I leave the heavy things in the cellar for the boys to bring them upstairs....)

Son #1 doesn't live here anymore, son #2 is on a schooltrip and will only return tonight. I will make him help once he's back, though.

The husband cycles to and from work, which is a good 22km each day.
I won't ask him to either carry his bag AND the shopping for that distance, or come home after a 10 to 12 hour day at work and ask him to go and do the shopping.

Well I'm so sorry to hear of your troubles Bel, but you're a scud - my car has packed in now .... some spring or the other in or around the clutch - and it can't be fixed until Tuesday.


with the travel plans.

Travel plans?

Oh, and sorry about your car. It's because we're twins, you know.

I know ..... we must have been really naughty in a previous life.


Travel plans .... mine include a trip to Tescos tomorrow.

I did the shopping today. Took the shopping trolley and then the home.

We don't have a to any shops.


I may walk, take a taxi or risk the car ..... just there and back.

You could walk there, then take a taxi back.

Hmmmm .... it's over a mile ... I may not make that.

Take Sazzle for support.

You're kidding - she still has trouble walking to far on the dodgy leg.

Oh my, you're the right pair. Did you not train the dogs then?

Well poor Fizz is very arthritic and little Elphie's too close to the ground to be good for carrying anything .....

Give her a doggypack or whatever they're called. Mina knows, she has them for her dogs.

I'll just take the car.

Don't blame me when it breaks down.
