Fish for Dogs

I did not know that dogs ate fish.

Cats are famous for liking fish. Cats are also famous for not liking water. The question therefore is how, pre-domestication, did cats come across their fishy feasts to develop such a taste?

Pleasant little list on half a sheet of ruled A5 paper. A clear hand with some essentials. Interesting that there is a ‘big yog’ and ‘yog’. I am not sure what ‘Red On’ is, or Keiti.

I am not sure what Keiti is, will it be this? Maybe I am reading the word incorrectly. Could it be Keith?

Polident For ‘Our Night’

Lovely dotty ‘Donut Forget‘ note paper for making lists. It is good to see some purpose made paper used. And with a foody theme.

Cat owner

This person needs Polident denture cleaner for ‘our night’. Fancy. Something to look forward to.

Strange mix of capitalisation with CRackers.

Other items include crackers, large storage bags and eggs. A good quality shopping list here.

They say:

“Because fundamentally each list in the world is unique and fun in its own way, each one is a small glimpse at someone else’s existence and you never know what you are going to find next”

Saltine Crackers

Yellow Post-it Note shopping list. The list has been written in several sittings with pen and pencil. There are some cryptic numbers on the right hand side which have been crossed out.

I had not heard of Saltine Crackers in the UK. But, sure enough, here they are: https://amzn.to/3W9Hs0n

The Best Hand Writing On A List

I wish I could write in this style. Clear, large hand writing. Fantastic.

A short list. Maybe this person has a cold, they need medicine and Kleenex. Interestingly in the UK we refer to ‘tissues‘ rather than the brand Kleenex.

What is Iso Alcohol?

“Iso, Isopropanol, isopropyl or rubbing alcohol is a clear, colorless liquid that is a major component of rubbing alcohol as well as regular household items such as cleaners, disinfectants, and hand sanitizers; it also can be found in pharmaceuticals.”

If you need some Isopropanol (iso) alcohol, you can buy it over the counter in the UK, even from Amazon https://amzn.to/3IMydAe

There is a lot to look at on this tiny shopping list. Small writing in 3 colours shows this person had a busy day. They went to the bank to pay some bills, they then went to Target for some iso-alcohol… before going to Walmart where they picked up their groceries.

After they finished with the Iso Alcohol for their cleaning, they could start on the drinking with their Jim Beam.

Kitchen Towel ‘Plenty‘

Shopping list in situ on a trolly with built in clip board.

The specification of the kitchen towel brand, ‘Plenty’, is of interest.

This discerning shopper has a select number of items on the list. Maybe sausage and mash on the menu. No fruit or veg today. A top up list.

This shopper had to collect a parcel as the number one priority. Maybe there was a parcel collection point at the super market.

A grateful contribution.

From Sainsbury’s in Alton.

Yorkshire Puds

Christmas Coal Bucket

Coal bucket and coal are required for a good Dickensian Christmas around at the Cratchit’s this year. Tiny Tim is having hash browns and sausage meat for his dinner.
