Voltage, Tea, and Navigation

Yesterday was a rather normal Saturday, I suppose. Why bother telling you about it then? Well, just because. Kristen and I went shopping, and I am happy to report that I successfully navigated us through Galway on my own for the first time. I added a few new pieces to my wardrobe, and then we bought food! Dunne's has a good selection of cheap food, and we found a big box of tea for 67 cents (score!). We purchased apartment food as well, like sugar and a bag o' potatoes and cheap wine. We think our Italian roommate, if she really exists, will be horrified by our wine choices when she gets here. We were delighted to find Oreos, which we didn't think they had here, and I did a happy dance upon finding Cadbury eggs.

Later, the flatmates were getting ready to go out (two nights a week is plenty for me at this stage), and Kristen's hair straightener (we blame the voltage) melted itself. The boys and I were in the living room, and she came in with the plates falling off, tethered by oozing bits of melty plastic. Good times. So yes, all in all not an overly thrilling day, but they can't all be red letter. It's been raining all night and into today, so I'm missing my raingear...
