Today we drove to Naracoorte to do some shopping and so Neville could do some jobs at the farm. My cleaning lass came this morning, and we left soon after she had finished. I had some errands to do in the town, so did not go directly to the super market. We were originaly going to do this tomorrow, but, as it will be New Years' Day, there would not be any shops open, other than the super market.
I picked up one of my laybys, and am listening to the CDs now Who is on them, who else but Andre, of course. They are some of his very early recordings. I think they have doubled up with some of the tunes, but I do not care.
The son of the lady in the music shop came in while I was paying for my CDs, and he brought his mum a chicken and leek pie from the cafe nearby. It smelled so good, I went and bought one plus a cappuccino. Very nice.
I dropped a film in to be put on a disc, and I have just realized I forgot to pick it up. Darn it. .I then looked around for clothes for my grand daughter, but found none. I then checked out prices of digital cameras.The one I like is a tad expensive at over $300.00! I will need to save up for it.
I then went to do the grocery shopping, and this is where the mystery took place. When one enters the super market, one walks into the baked goods section. I wanted some cheap bread for Neville for when he goes to the farm. They had some in the catalogue. 2 for $4.00. It was nowhere to be found. I KNOW I had my shopping list in my hand at this juncture. As I could not find the bread, I walked to the info desk and asked for a specials leaflet. I walked straight back to the bread etc. I found some Home Brand bread that was cheaper, and then I went to take out my list, and the darn thing had vanished!! I retraced my steps and looked through ALL my shopping bags about three times. Nada!!I looked in my handbag, Nada. I even asked people if they had seen it. Still nothing. One woman shopper said she had not seen it, and I would probably find it when I got home! I told her again, I had had it in the shop. She reitierated, that I would find it when I got home. I am abslutely stunned that people do not listen. The young check out girls are just as bad. I have not the foggiest notion where the thing could have gone.
When Neville came for me, I was reading a magazine. We went to ask for our goods, and the woman there did not listen either.While he was waiting for them, I went to the cafe and bought a drink and some Sushi. They have only just started to make it, and it is very good.
We went to the service station and filled the car and then I asked him to call in to the furniture shop as I wanted to check out single beds and mattresses. I had promised my daughter some time ago, that I would buy her one for her daughter.
I have put one on layby. It is a tubular steel one painted white. It is a bit fancier than the ones the boys have, but it is for a girl after all. That done, we came home.
