New things

Today has been a day of adventures. First I went to the body balance class - oy vey! - the bits that were aching before are aching double now and the rest of my body has joined in in sympathy. The worst part? The muscles at the front of my thighs. I had difficulty walking in a straight line on the way home from the gym (not helped by the cracked and dirty pavements).

After the gym (ignoring the home, shower, eat part) I went to the supermarket. Such a giddy round eh? BUT and it is a big BUT, I not only did my shopping but I also had it delivered! (picture of Shiralee dancing in her chair) I am sooo pleased with myself. Given that my Spanish is (still) minimal and his English is non-existent, armed only with the verb ENTREGAR written on a piece of paper and having no idea if there was a minimum spend, I fronted up to the cashier, smiled, said and showed my word and Voila! (ok two hours later) my shopping was delivered. And it was only two hours later. I used to get my shopping delivered in Cairo but they spoke English in the supermarket and everyone had everything delivered there (actually, everyone has everything delivered here, I'm just a bit slow to catch on).

Finally today I went to the dentist. Again he spoke no English and I spoke no Spanish (and I'm not 100% happy with the work but we'll see) to have my front tooth filled. It's not a cavity as such, just where the enamel has cracked and left a gap. Anyway, I have a biting surface again.

The rest of today? Maybe some cooking, maybe some sewing, maybe some reading. Choices, choices.
