Making a shopping list for Friday.

I plan on going to Utrecht, say hi to our old neighbours, visit the new record store and the other one that moved and run some errands I can't get at our shopping center.

I'm starting to get used to having to plan my errands/shopping. After 43 years of living in the city center and running errands whenever I can't do that anymore. The only shop walking distance is a small supermarket. The local big shopping center is a 10 minute cycle ride away. It's got a good selection of shops. But there are still some I miss. So every two or three weeks I head into Utrecht to get things there.

Haha.
But I think I'm closer to the big city than you? It's about 25 minutes by tram (plus an 8 minute walk from home to the the tram stop).

I'm glad I can get most things at the local big shopping center. Going into the big city is now kind of a treat.

The shopping list is made, now to decide where to have lunch tomorrow.

Yes, you are. For that reason, we tend to wrap up 3-4 stops in a single trip. Hit the big-time grocery (woo woo); the hardware store if needed; the drugstore (old age sucks), and whatever the fourth stop is. [shrug]. I still get a bit annoyed about it from time to time, but on the other hand, as I've mentioned before, I can hear a car coming toward/near my house from 1-2 miles away, and--that I would be hard-pressed to trade for anything, even closer stores.
