It's always a big trip ashore for the terrible twosome

when they go shopping for their weekly supplies

but sometimes they end up with more than

was on the list - and bring home things

 

 

So we shall start with what we

 

 

 

As you all know, an important thing on the list this week

was to buy a new egg slicer to replace the one

that broke after a mere 27 years use.

This is the egg slicer that broke

and I attempted to fix.

 

 

 

As I told you before I believe that this slicer may have cost

the extraordinary amount of about one dollar.

I had no trouble buying a new one.

 

But in 27 years the price

had leapt to a

h u g e

$3

 

 

 

 

While we were ashore - we also went to the local OfficeWorks store

and bought another external Hard Drive - to try and keep up

with all our ceaseless and excessive pirating

I mean personal information archiving

of important data stuff

off the net.

 

 

This drive was on special for only $76 and is 1.5TB which, as everyone would know

is a whopping tetrahillion kazillion squillion megabytes..................or heaps.
Believe it or not, it's enough to hold 2000 full AVI video movies.

Who would be stupid enough to download that many.

I am NOT - I haven't even got half that.

Also, you may observe in the photo

that we have our internet wireless antenna

positioned strategically atop 4 empty DVD containers

PLUS a small box of Original Turkish Delight Assorted Fruits

this position is in accordance with standard pirate positioning practice

becomes lost or fuzzy, you need to eat a piece

of sugar frosted Turkish Delight

in order to re-connect.

 

 

 

Well it's not every day

that we find things

b  u  t  today

we just happened to be driving along

a busy 6 lane road, and slowed to stop at some lights

when what should appear on the roadway right outside my window

but a new small wrapped package of what appeared to be paper serviettes.

Well a dollar is a dollar, in anyone's pocket, and that's just about my

charge for opening the driver's door and picking something

up off the roadway - - like the good citizen I am.

 

 

 

And as you can see it turned out to be a new pack of 'industrial superwipes'

 

 

But our day wasn't over by a long way - and it wasn't long before

we added to our 'collection' with more free items that were

 

 

From Wendy we received

- a bottle of Satay Sauce - one of several she'd bought

- V8 Vegetable juice which I have every morning

- and a Pepper Mill grinder as I said I'd looked for one

because I don't like the plastic one I have

 

so we did quite well in adding

to our haul of stuff.

 

 

 

 

And then, before we left we were also given a pack of 10 cans of soft drink

from our friend Charlie who apparently likes his drinks more 'sugary'.

Well that suits us fine because it's quite 'sugary' enough for us.

 

 

 

So that's the ordinary tale of what we bought, found, and were given

when we went ashore shopping the other day.

 

 

We did pretty good - didn't we?
