Went out this afternoon to Smethick. This suburb is between Bearwood and Handsworth..well, kind of I guess. And it's quite a Eastern Europe/Middle Eastern/Caribbean area. I decided to go there to check out the ASDA there, see if it was bigger and had the kids raincoat or MacKenzie's potato crisps cos the one nearer my place didn't have the crisps! Then saw that there's a Windmills shopping centre there too and a dept store called Matalan. The other time I saw a Matalan was at Merry Hill..anyway saw online that they were having sale and some kids clothes were quite cheap...so headed there first! Spent like 2 hrs in there!! Quite fun too cos there was free wifi so I could chat with mum and shop..haha..ended up getting stuff all for my niece and, ok, a pack of socks for my bro..haha! Kids clothes are soooo cute..esp girls'! Anyway I was deciding if to buy a pack of socks for my dad but I could "hear" him saying he has a lot of socks so didn't buy. Had msged mum to ask if dad needs but she didn't reply..prob slept already. So anyway since have my bro's shoe size, I thought I'll just get for him la..the ladies wear were not that cheap.
Went to ASDA after that and they didn't have the kids raincoat I saw online..so only bought some groceries. Bought tortilla wraps (want to make maybe on Sun), frozen chicken breasts, nectarines and I was v happy to see the MacKenzie's crisps and they had a many flavours. But I ended up getting back the same flavour as what I bought in Edinburgh (Scotland) - haggis and black pepper! After leaving then I thought to myself I should buy for my York trip also hor? haha..but I'm trying to cut down on such snacks also..hehe..just thot it'll be nice to share with PF and HR. Oh btw, I think both of them should be confirmed going.
After that got up a bus and found my way to Lidl...bought the muesli again..and also tri-colour peppers and I bought a sports racerback top...thought I'll buy since I didn't bring any sleeveless tops here..didn't expect it to be so warm! So can wear at home tmr. Sun onwards the temp will be dropping!! Great! Some cool relief! The buses here are terrible la...no air con and windows so small! Open also like didn't open. Grr...
Oh ya, the summer hols have started so everywhere can see kids n they will be playing or screaming away in the shops..grrr! No fun! And mind you, parents here don't publicly discipline their kids...they prob will be busy looking at their own stuff or just tell the child nicely.
Heard from Sil in the afternoon that another airline has crashed! This time is Air Algerie. What's with the planes these days?!?!?! Oh my....to make people shelf their travel plans? Pray for journey mercy for me!
Tmr prob do some chores at home then maybe make my apple pastries! Then I need to wrap up my box for my origami sale..not sure hw to glue cos I only have super glue with me..no normal glue and I don't see any lying around in the house..haha..shall see how!
