FRIDAY IS SHOPPING DAY

 

I'm off to the shops soon with The Old Girl as she is having today off work.

Actually, she has decided to cut her working week down to 4 days with the idea of having most Fridays off.

We will do a 'wine run' meaning that we will have to drive to several wine outlets to stock up the cellar. The local supermarket is good but doesn't stock enough of the zinfandels and Primitivos that she likes. 

We will likely visit Glengarry, Moore Wilson, Big Barrel and Regional Wines and buy a cross section of the aforementioned zinfandels and Primitivos along with some Californian and Hawkes Bay chardonnay plus any pinot noirs of interest.

I suspect that she will want to visit at least one furniture shop to look for a couple of armchairs to replace my 'manky old ones' that we have in the lounge.

OK, that's done. We went to all three of those wine shops and will now have to take out an overdraft to pay for the wine (with labels on them) that we bought.

We also went to three furniture shops and couldn't agree on any new chairs. My 'manky old ones' are safe at present but The Old Girl saw an advertisement for a furniture show at Hnry Stadium this weekend. I guess we'll be going to that.

The supermarket shopping has been done but I forgot to get some little pies for Richard. He'll have to make do with salmon flan and salads.

We are now heading out (again) to Lighthouse cinema to see a documentary film Sgt Haane about Sergeant Haane Manahi DCM of B Company, 28th Māori Battalion whose actions proved pivotal in the 1943 battle for the fortified summit of Takrouna, Tunisia. My dad was there as a sergeant in the Divisional Cavalry so I'm keen to see this.
