A new clear day...

Today I went to a Cash and Carry warehouse to see if I could find some outdoor furniture for Casa.
You see, up here in the North East of England, people are very hardy. Give them a tiny ray of sunshine and they will gladly sit outside with a beer.
I had forgotten my card but a day pass was soon produced to admit me.
They only had the aluminium kind (now for our friends across the Pond, it is Al-you-min-yum not Aloomi numb! G.W.Bush drives me crazy when he says that or Newcular for Nuclear!)

I looked around the place, going from the food section, (vegetables and meats from all over) to the non-food section (Computers, tellies, pans, etc...)
I leafed through a few books, caressed a couple of saucepans, kicked one or two bike tyres and then decided to buy myself some headphones and a bottle of Allure aftershave.

I left the shop minus the outdoor furniture but I smelt nice.

I've discovered a useful website where I learnt how to say "Hello" in Inuit, "Kutaa" and Mohawk, "Kwe" just in case we get a customer from one of these great nations.
I also learnt how to say "I love you!" in Sioux, "Techihhila" and in Friesian, "Ik hald fan dei".

So on the whole, today has been quite fruitful even though I spilt a whole bottle of water on my lap just before I went into the warehouse.
The receptionist kindly pointed to the toilets after she gave me the day pass.
