un petit voyage au centre-ville

Went into town today, and did my shopping there. Somehow I've managed to misplace an entire shop! It was there when I went the other week to the covered market, now I cant find it. Bugger. Anyhow, got myself some lovely stuff to cook today and tomorrow. Also a few little observations.

I couldnt go to the nice little italian place for a pasta lunch because it was absolutely rammed at lunchtime! Only goes to show it's a good place, but I was in a hurry and had to make do with corporate cornish pasty, sold to me by a scottish lady. Not Ginsters, pace relatives. And very nice it was too. Also discovered a german sausage stand (so called - I bet it isnt really, but there is something about the word 'Frikadelle' that gets my juices flowing.....there was also another food van advertising 'fizzy slush' for sale. Now as a description, it just oooooozes sugar, doesnt it? you know if you get one and finish it, diabetes melitus cannot be far away, along with dental caries of the entire upper jaw and possibly cancer of the soft palate. Perfect description. Nobody seemed to be taking it up.

Plenty of coffee again today, and not actually that much to eat as yet, but I've got big plans for the evening with the beef I bought. Almost a carbonnade to be made, with some of the free beer and the leftover veg! Yum Yum. And I have scones and other bits and bobs to take into work to take care of the snack urges. Planning is a wonderful skill!

I've also made a DECISION. Yes, steady on, but I'm going to get rid of the car. It'll solve me so many issues in the long run, really. And I can just ring up and get it taken away. Since I never paid anything for it, I really consider it a great loss (though Gran and Dad may kill me when the find out!)
