Off to Brecon this morning with Andrew, who had to travel there for work. Took the opportunity to do a quick shop in Morrisons - to stock up on things like buttermilk and coffee. While Andrew was in his meeting I had a waddle round. Brecon is a nice town. What makes a delightful change from Cardiff is the ludicrously low parking charges - £1 for two hours - hurrah. Visited the post office, which for some reason was hidden inside the local Co-op. Of course, Thursday is pensions day, so it was a long queue full of elderly people. Anyway, I posted a parcel and got some Christmas stamps. Also visited a local butcher where I got some duck breasts, some diced lamb (which I'll do in a Moroccan style with some couscous) and some enormous bones for the woofs. They've been contentedly munching all afternoon, although sadly eating bones has terrible consequences in that it leads to severe flatulence for some reason. Andrew, sensibly will be running tonight so should avoid the worst of it. Just been fiddling about on Facebook and now off to do some chopping for a stir-fry later when Andrew returns from his run.
