Saturday shopping and other things

So today was Saturday. Hurrah. I slept in until 6:45 and then jumped out of bed, raced through the shower, dressed, drove to pick up my mum and sister and by 7:30 we were relaxing for breakfast downtown at Indulge. Mmmmm. Poached eggs. Coffee.

Then it was straight back to parents' place to drop my sister home again as she is not a fan of grocery shopping, a quick pit stop to get petrol and then forward ho to Hinkler Place (yes that is the name of one of our shopping centres for non-Bundabergian readers) and into Woolworths. I have long since given up on Woolworths fulfilling their promise of being the fresh food people. Those slowly defrosting mandarins I bought a couple of weeks ago put paid to that. What was frustrating today was I wanted to buy a new toothbrush. Just one toothbrush. For me. It seems suddenly it is impossible to buy a single toothbrush. I had to buy a pack of three because that is all there was to choose from. And I guess when I say "choose from" it wasn't really a choice. Oh and they were out of the only cat food that my cat eats. Luckily there is still some in the pantry.

A short sojourn around the shopping centre followed where I a found a dark red courdouroy skirt for half price. Excellent. By then it was around 10 so we made our way to Sugarland (yes I kid you not non-Bundabergians that is the name of our other shopping centre). Here I got some prescriptions, Mum and I split a two for cheaper offer at Rockmans (I now have a black long sleeved shirt) and I checked out the junk jewellery at Equip. It was even too junky for me to want to pay 3 dollars for anything so that is saying something.

A quick stop at home after dropping off my mother. I made a lame and token effort at putting away my groceries (i.e. I got them out the bags but left them on the bench for later). Then I drove back uptown to meet the Emster for lunch at Rosiblu. Mmmmmm. Some good conversation and minestrone soup. And coffee.

A quick drive back home to pick up my phone which I had somehow LEFT THE HOUSE WITHOUT. EEEEEEEK. And then we rendevoused (not sure if that is a word but whatever) at a house on the way to Bargara with some other choir members to discuss the New Choir Uniform. An hour and a half and a cup of tea later it was time to drive home, do some internet faffing and then go to meditation. Before I got home I stopped at Target and bought some rather stylish new jarmies, one pair of which I am wearing now. They were on special. Bargains. I refused to pay 10cents for a plastic bag as I find that objectionable, preferring instead to walk back to my car with what looked like an armful of washing.

So in all in all a good Saturday.

No nanna nap though. I shall remedy that tomorrow.
