Sleepy little death-toll town

Despite Tansy’s warning we forgot that supermarkets (and everything else) are closed on Sundays.

Friday was our first chance all week to eat at home, so we bought enough groceries for that day, but forgot the milk, butter, juice, paper towel, tissues and toilet paper (because we had to pay cash we were so worried we wouldn’t have enough that we were a bit distracted). While we were cooking dinner that night the stove and tap incident happened and the fix-it man used the last of the paper towel that we in the house when we moved in. Luckily Frau L. got us another role form her place. I say luckily because we ran out of toilet paper Sunday morning, and we had no tissues, so paper towel was it!!!!)

Because we had forgotten so many things our breakfast on Saturday morning before we rushed to Stuttgart was toast with Jam, no butter. Well, it was toast for me. We had bought an uncut loaf of bread that you seriously could kill someone with, it was so heavy. In trying to cut slices for toast Brett had cut his too think for the toaster and didn’t want to cut more – so he had bread and jam, no butter. No juice, no tea or coffee because we had no sugar or milk.

We weren’t thrilled with our breakfast but thought it would be okay to put up with since first thing Sunday we could run to the shops and buy more food. NOT THE CASE. After driving past ever supermarket in the area on Sunday moring, and then into the deserted centre of town we realised we were screwed. Finally we found a petrol station that had milk and butter so our breakfast was a little less depressing than the day before. It also included muesli – which Brett described as nice but a little boring (how can food be both nice and boring?!?!?!) and which I described as freekin’ cardboard.

Then the bathroom door incident happened and was concluded until about 8:30 so we were too tired to go to a restaurant (and so sick of eating out) that we went and bought pizza at the only pizza place we knew of – PIZZA HUT and brought it home to eat. So Sunday was super!!

For those who care about the daily boring details of my life here in Germany today (Monday) was my first housewife day (should only be a week or so of that) but I had dinner all ready for Brett when he got home, I had done a load of washing and some vacuuming and I had shopped for groceries (using my backpack which also killed me because I bought so much).

Love to all
