I got up late again and decided to brave the cold shower and wash my hair. It was an invigorating experience but at least I felt better. Today is a day of rest after shopping myself out in the last few days. I also have to make a list of repairs, etc needed for the final handover of my apartment. But first off to have breakfast. I was too late for pancakes (panqueques) at Maccas, so contented myself with peach drinkable yogurt, orange juice and a custard danish, followed by my fav iced vanilla latte. All of that cost me 25 pesos, about $2.
I unpacked the saucepan set I bought yesterday, fitted nicely into the deep drawer next to the stove. Haven't tried the stove yet - I think its sheer size is daunting, it's a 75cm model with all sorts of whizz bang features. I'm sure I will conquer my fears soon, particularly now that I have saucepans. Although I don't yet have a dinner set or cutlery so I couldn't eat whatever I cooked except by hand. I have my eye on a glass set for 6. none of the others have particularly appealed. This one only has dinner plates, soup plates and bread & butter plates, so I won't end up with useless cups and saucers.
Spent the afternoon listening to music, pottering, and updating this blog.
Decided to go down to Babe's for some Thai green curry noodles as I didn't make it last night, but when I got there it was closed - no signs so it's probably just a Sunday thing. Found a place around the corner, full of locals, so I stopped and ate 3 quesadillas (Tortillas cooked on a griddle and filled with cheese and meat or chicken or veges). The spicy chicken breast with cheese was great, also the beef and mushroom. Fresh papaya juice to round it off, came to 85 pesos all up ($7).
Decided to go to the Mega supermarket for a coffee & donut, and when I got there I discovered that today was the last day for the fridge promotion of 1000 pesos off, so I had to make my decision. Some of the others I had been looking at were sold, so I ended up with a nice silver LG 15ft which should hold enough chocolate, wine and icecream for my immediate needs! I added a microwave, and even bit the bullet and bought the dinner set. All will be delivered tomorrow around 10, which is when the blind man is coming, I mean the man to measure for the blinds. So with a functioning fridge I will have no more excuses not to cook and eat at home. Except, "I don't feel like it" which is always valid.
I also bought myself a juicer and 2kg of oranges, so I'll have fresh juice for breakfast. Oops, no glasses, may have to drink it from the jug!
It's now 11pm and I still haven't done the list of repairs. Oh well, jetlag still apparent, I'm not yet tired so will go off and do it now.
