While shopping at the supermarket a few days ago, a nice young employee came up and asked if I spoke English. I thought it was going to be some sort of survey, but no, he just wanted to advise me because I had a bottle of wine in my trolley, that alcohol can only be sold until 10pm at night, and 5pm Sundays. The store is still open til 11pm, but they block off the alcohol area and even if you have put it in your trolley before 10, if it's after 10 by the time you get to the checkout, it won't scan. Of course you can still buy alcohol in bars and nightclubs, so if you are determined to write yourself off you can do so, but not for takeaway.
What was I doing at the supermarket at 10pm you might ask? Well jetlag has now kicked in and I'm wide wide awake in the evenings so I might as well be doing something useful like shopping. I need to buy everything but without a car to transport it home I only buy what I can carry each day. So each day I cross a few things off my list.
