Ouch

Sunday morning was a quiet one. My legs were feeling the brunt of things so stayed in bed and caught up on The Archers online via the BBC. Sadly there was no Desert Island Discs but hey, every move means sacrifices.

But by afternoon it was time to get up and go shopping. I came over here with 79kg of luggage but due to poor packing only one pair of jeans. It was time to go shopping.

Some people love shopping but for me it’s like vaccinations – necessary but not something to be enjoyed. I needed a few pairs of casual trousers and some new socks, so wondered down to see what the Independence Day sales had to offer.

As it turned out not a lot. The Westfield Shopping Centre is the most central mall but the clothes were either too poor quality (most places), designed for the ultra thin (Zara) or overpriced (Bloomingdales). Thankfully I found what I was looking for in Dockers – reasonably priced kit that looked like it would last for more than three washes.

Then headed over to North beach for beer (San Francisco Brewing Company has happy hour 4-6pm) and then Chinese. Then home again to store the purchases before they got too creased and crash out – tomorrow is a working day and coming back after a three day weekend means there’d be piles of emails to get through.
