Cycling and Shopping

janestarzMonday is my Sunday which means I get to sleep in, shop for groceries and do some things that Need Doing like the kitchen and my laundry.
Picked up some groceries, where I always find I need that bottle of Ketjap or a bottle of wok oil that I used to take for granted. The Plus here is ridiculously expensive. Seriously. Nearly 3,29 for a Chicken teriyaki mix? Well, no thank you. I'll eat something else.
Once I've got my kitchen stocked (condiments, oils and cooking sauces) which I should have now, I can get back to shopping at Lidl, which has Awesome Vegetables of Plenty and is very cheap.
I also picked up some teflon spray for my bike chain (as suggested by the store worker), a large plastic covering to keep the snow and rain off my bikes as they are still stored outdoors behind a locked fence and did some upkeep on the recumbent. This means I do the only thing I can do and coat the chain with teflon spray. I wanted to see how it performed after standing in the rain/snow for two weeks, so I gave the spray some time and took the recumbent out to Geldrop after lunch.
You'd think the people here have never ever seen a recumbent bicycle before...
I visited the Action, where I finally found the 'tea towel hooks' I was looking for, and also picked up a yoga mat for four euro. A little 'grow your own mint' pot, an A3 size cutting mat (for € 1,80!) and I was off again, zipping down the Mierloseweg through the forest at a leisurely 25 kph. The sun was lovely (go SPF50!) but the wind was kind of chilly.
Back home I figured out the tea towel hooks work fine, but the original thing I had bought at Blokker also works fine if I put the smaller hook that it came with on. Go figure. Now I have 14 hooks to hang the two things I need to hang up from. But that's fine, I'm sure I can find a use for them.
