Groceries

Greetings,

Finally, FINALLY, the women are gone. Today was spent conducting the usual duties of cleaning up, though it seems that finicky and neat are a package deal. Not surprisingly though a little disappointingly, almost ALL the toilet paper is gone now, and we're probably going to have to buy more.

On the brighter side of things, we now have an abundance of food around the house. No, it wasn't free like the last time...these guests decided to meticulously divide their food amongst them, no doubt hiding it in their cheek pouches for safe carrying to their next location where they can inflict their hopeless perfectionism on innocent Canadians.

No, we paid for this food. And through the fruits of our hard labour, we have furnished our house with ham, chicken, frozen vegetables, and canned soup. Mmmm.

As a point of comparison for today's video, the grocery store we frequent, Lidl (which is known for its INSANELY low prices...£1 for enough potatoes to crush a camel), is located about a half hours walk across the city through the busy Royal Mile and the busier Princes Street. And in our typical fashion, we couldn't say no to the low, low prices...

As the bells of St. Clements say,

John from Canada

Lidl is where my aunt bought me wellies! Those wellies saved many a pair of pants that would have otherwise been covered in wet, mud and turf.
