Didn’t do much of anything today except buy 24 litres of milk because there is a milk shortage (as advertised on the radio, but I think it is a marketing ploy…I suspect they have too much skim milk and they want everyone to rush out and buy it…my conspiracy theory), get a few bits and pieces from Tinker’s, and defrost the fridge which had huge blocks of ice all over the back cooling device, taking up at least 10% of my shelf space.
Nick got up this morning at 4 am as he said he would, and even switched on his study light and sat on his chair, but came back to bed about five minutes later saying that he will get up again at 5 am. Needless to say, we both fell asleep again and only awoke after 6.30.
The canned stuff we get here is unbelievable in terms of variety. You can get canned potato salad, ravioli in cheese sauce, potato and bacon stir-fry, viennas, pork sausages, to name but a few. Perhaps they are all available in Pick’n’Pay as well, but they are more noticeable here because the shop is small and you can’t miss it.
Today has been slightly cooler due to the presence of clouds and wind and a little bit of rain, though still not enough. We continue to pray.
