Day: May 15, 2005

I'm a happy convert to internet grocery shopping. Tesco delivered my food promptly at 10:15 with everything I'd ordered being there (with reasonable equivalences – they gave me a jaffa cake twinpack instead of a threepack). The fresh produce was reasonable – the only thing that I'm not happy about is the lemon and the lime I bought, but aside from that, everything is A-ok. My cupboards are full of heavy cans that I didn't need to break my back to carry.

Life is good, and I now have food :D

Katy and I went walkies in the city center today. I really, really, REALLY wish I'd bought my camera with me. The colleges are… beautiful, stupendous, mindblowing. I really want to go explore them when I have a bit more time. Shopping-wise, I'm in booze heaven.

The wine store has a wall full of scotch bottles I'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF BEFORE! And then I saw it. The bottle I'm enjoying right now. The bottle that freaked Katy out when she saw the price. The bottle that's making me rather tipsy after 2 ounces (remember, this is cask-strength). Oh, and did I mention the cigar? hmmmmm, hedonism is fun once in a while.

There's an outdoor arts & crafts market that's there every saturday on the weekends that I really need to go patronize in the following weeks. There are some framed prints that caught my eye that I want to go buy.

Finally, there's a little indian shop that's chok-full of goodies to tempt the senses and whittle the wallet.

I'm currently drinking cask strength glenlivet that's only one year younger than I am.

It's like drinking warm, liquid velvet.
