Food shopping

Today, while Douglas had a service at one of the Care Homes, I went to the library to change my books and then popped in to the supermarket to buy some food supplies.

It is a lovely clear day today with temperatures in the low teens. The weather has been rather strange and the forecast for next week is not good. SNOW.....

I have been blessed to have been part of an excellent library service here. I can take out up to 20 books at a time and they send me emails to remind me when books are due. I can then renew them on line if need be. The added advantage is that the Library is so conveniently situated next door to the supermarket and within walking distance from the church and even from our house.
Joy of joys, today I even found a Mills & Boone medical that was published in January 2013.

I wonder what lies in store for me once I get back to SA..........

My joy continued as I did the food shopping.  Lovely South African apricots. Yay!
We have always managed to have an excellent selection of fruit available here but then I suppose I should not be surprised as most of the fruit is imported. In fact the South African fruit here is much better than what is available in shops in SA. We of course were spoilt in Mtubatuba because we got our fruit from the farmers in the area.

The meat is another story. Chicken from Holland, British Lamb and Pork. I never buy Beef if I can help it. That will be something to look forward to when we return.

At the checkout I had a lovely long chat with the lady who served me while she scanned my vouchers. I do love living in towns where everyone is friendly and although we are all busy no one is too busy to pass the time by having a chat with those they meet along the way. It will be back to the City when we are in SA but we did always find the local shopping Mall a friendly place. Hope this has not changed since we have been away.
