Substitutions can be fun, usually the price remains the same but the quality can vary. They subsitituted my dozen eggs with a ten pack, same price one time, I let them know that didn't work, lol. But the system is a good one if you aren't well...
I was a fool yesterday. I had barriered the neighbours garden when I reseeded the lawn, with a very flimsy crossbar so the contractors wouldn't try to mow, and while admiring (?) my efforts another neighbour, an 80 year old man, casually lent on it and fell into the lawn as I watched. Watching someone fall is almost as heartstopping as doing it ourselves, and I feel so guilty. He scored cuts and bruises but was okay to walk up to his local docs for a check up, bit of bandaging, and then come back, so with luck no long term harm. We then sat in the sun with a rose from his wine collection and discussed the legal implications of him suing me for 2 million, so all's well. But oh, more evidence of my current stupid woman status!
And I have barriered the garden off with big pots instead. Unleanable big pots..
Oh, and the drunk driver is still not back from his holiday...
