Well another day of waiting around for deliveries. First the new king bed (although it's more like a double in my opinion). Then a plumber was supposed to come, or so Chris thought, but never showed. So that was a waste of a day inside. When the bed did show, they just brought it in, in boxes. So that was a job for Chris when he got home. So now we have a bed for guests - hint, hint.
Then we all went to ASDA. What is ASDA you say? Well, it's a subsidiary of WalMart. It was just as crowded as a Walmart and it had some housewares but mostly just another grocery store. We were hoping for more of a store like we have back at home as there were a few things we wanted to get but oh well. Chris thinks we paid the same amount as we do at a Tesco. I was hoping to find some things that we don't see at a Tesco but I still can't find common things like tomato paste, etc., unless it goes by a different name - which I find at times is the case. It got me thinking that someone should start a store over here for ex-patriots to find the comforts of things from home.
We also find that a lot of things go bad very quick over here. I guess maybe that's why they have small refrigerators. We just bought a couple of pizza's a week ago and they were all moldy, along with some bread. It's just frustrating. We could've just thrown the money in the garbage and would've had the same result in opinion.
On a positive note, Makenna and I seem to be feeling better so hopefully we'll get out tomorrow to see some more of this country. We have plans, tentatively, to go see a castle. Guess you'll have to "tune-in" tomorrow to see.
