I finally have some crisps! I wanted some since watching that video of Johnny's that I linked to, but all I had were tortilla chips (which I like just fine, but they're not crisps, dangit!)
I don't eat them as much as I used, but I do like them as snacks, I just never remember to buy them. So of course, because I was out of the house yesterday, I actually remembered to buy some. I started off with some Aldi own-brand, but ended up with some others as well because apparently I wanted them!
TL;DR version: Aldi own-brand Salt and Vinegar are WAY better than I was expecting them to be!

So yesterday, I had to go out for a nurse appointment in town, which took ten minutes, and was barely worth the bus fare, so I decided to get a day ticket and go to Burnley for fun shopping as well!
Which is what I did. I almost changed my mind about it, but I had some vouchers I'd been given that I wanted to spend before they expired. Not that either was near its expiry date, but between the pandemic and work, I haven't had a chance to go fun shopping as much lately.
To absolutely nobody's surprise, I bought more notebooks that I don't need!
This is, in part, because I could use one of my vouchers in TK Maxx, and they always have lots of nice notebooks. The last time I was in there, I nearly bought a Leuchtturm, as it was the only time I've ever seen one in the wild, except I didn't, and I've been kicking myself since. So I thought I would go back. Except because it's TK Maxx, and it's been several months since I was last in there, there weren't any Leuchtturm notebooks any more.
There were, however, the ubiquitous Moleskines - of which I bought one because the cover was a colour I like, and because like with the Leuchtturms, I want to see what the fuss is all about.
AND THEN. I found a three pack of Pukka notebooks. They are described as composition books, which I didn't even know Pukka made! This is the set I got! (And I didn't them as cheap I initially thought, but I paid £4 instead of 7, so that's still not too bad!)
This is more what I know Pukka Pads for, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the composition books. (And now I know they have a sales website, I can buy more of them :D )
Also I know Pukka paper is really good to use with fountain pens - there's no feathering, and very minimal ghosting (and no bleeding), and since I've been writing with fountain pens for the most part for the last year, I thought I would pick them up.
Like I said, I absolutely DO NOT need them. I already have enough notebooks, but on the other hand, it wasn't like I was actually spending money on them, since I used the voucher to get them.
I also bought some Elmer's glue sticks - yet another thing I don't need - but they go down purple and I am easily amused!
There was other stuff I bought, which is way less interesting, so I won't bore you with that. I did a lot of walking (over 11K steps! according to my tracker) and now I feel crunchy and old.

In other news, I finished up watching Johnny's stream of OlliOlli World, which is a skateboarding game, and now I want to play it (or not, because I can feel I would potentially get frustrated by it).
I thought I had more to say about it, but all I really have to say is it's cool, I liked it, and this stream is shorter than their usual ones (2hrs versus 4) because they were ill, and honestly I'm surprised they even streamed at all.

Now I'm going to go away and figure out what to do with this frankly massive pile of notebooks I just sorted out that were ones I already owned (in fairness, most of them were ones that had been mum's, not mine, but now they're all mine so...*nervous laughter*).
