I'm just letting you know

[cat_mioux]

I'm going to attempt to go to the supermarket for the real Xmas food shopping, not just for milk. If there are no parking spaces I doubt I'll be able to buy everything I need at the local servo like last time.

I think I have PTSD from last time I tried to go to the supermarket.

Although, going to the servo gave me a giggle. I also bought a packet of cigs and the servo guy, in a very strong Indian accent asked me for my 'age proof' in a very stern voice. I had no idea what he said. I asked him to repeat it. "age proof". I had to ask him again to repeat it. I'm hopeless with accents. Then he grinned from ear to ear and I finally got the joke. I cracked up.

And I used to think paddleing through swamps with saltwater crocs about was tough>

nor do i. it makes sense to avoid the popular shopping centres, like here for example; westfield booragoon or the city centre. you'd go to the outskirts if you just want to do your groceries to avoid the crowds

i shop at coles in gosnells, always seems relaxed there no matter what time of the year it is

mebbe some arent aware of whats happening in the outside world

I dont mind that one, its big! But, you have to hold your nose when going in and out the doors, man does it smell! And the car park is terrible.

I went to the shops tonight, had a few things to get, car park was packed, thought I was in for  a really rough time and nearly went home, it was practically empty inside.

come to think of it lis, i did notice a smell leaving the store ( maybe put there as a deterrent for the smokers? 😄

im not sure why theres a parking problem at coles but i always manage to get a spot without too much fuss

perhaps i'll see you there one day

somebody did look like you the other day, she was with her mother too but she looked nothing like mugs, lol

I survived Xmas shopping but I did have to drive around the whole car park twice to finally get a parking space. But once inside it wasn't that crowded. So where were all the owners of all the cars if not in the shopping centre?

That's a puzzlement. *shrugs*.
