I got the day off work today and we went shopping. It was a pretty miserable sort of day if you are someone who does not like rain, but as I like rain I though the day was great.
Highlights of the day
- The potato scallops from the service station at Silkwood, they were very yummy and gave me a much needed potato boost.
- Buying the ladder or steps as my husband likes to call them. Our lovely new ladder, which will be going on the contents insurance, cost $819.01. I know that is expensive but if you want a good piece of equipment that will last a very, very long time, reach 4.61m heigh ceilings and not kill your husband you need to pay quite a bit more than normal.
- Visiting the Asian furniture stores and getting loads of ideas for the house – Chinese red and black lacquer furniture, giant carved Indonesian day beds and Indian stone carvings
- Buying a large pack of paneer cubes from the Asian supermarket. We love this supermarket.
- Discovering that kitchen door handles seem cheap if you want to buy one or to at $8 but if you need to buy 26 of them at that price it is scary.
- Learning to love hardware stores.
- Buying much needed hair products. Lisa is currently styled by the PPS and Tigi range of products.
- Having more potatoes on the way home in the form of chips from Babinda.
