Saturday's Snowy Scenes

Hiya! We had a good night's rest. Didn't get a very early start...as we slept several hours! We decided to go to Sainsbury's for brekky. It was sooooo CRAZY. English people are not at all used to this snow...(second nature to us Iowans & Minnesnowtans). The car park at the shop was a mess. There were sooo many people out...as they had pretty much not been out all week. sooo many people there so there were no trolleys (shopping cart) so that was a bit of wait to get one of those. So then ....the milk aisle was completely empty...except for the soy & goat's milk!!

When we were standing there, I saw an employee bring out a case of long life milk--I still don't get what that is.(OK, Paula just told me that's milk you don't have to refrigerate.) The manager I saw said to the other employee "It's 10 to 12. How long do ya think that will last?" They laughed. The manager said, "I give it til half past 12 to be gone." I didn't go back to check to see if he was correct. The queue for checking out at the till was long as well. I think they had almost all 30 some check-outs and there were at least 4 people in each line! Simply crazy!

Stan & Dad went to the school to shovel the footpath & car park so that it would be clear for church tomorrow. Paula & I stayed home & nattered away the afternoon. Stan made chili for supper...not as hot as his curry, but very good. Then I made a batch of chocie biscuits! Paula was happy just smelling them baking.

I went to the shop around the corner to get an onion for the chili, so I took a couple of pictures of the street & house coming home.
