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. |

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. |

But I don't think there are places in the Netherlands that are as remote as you are. Before I can go shopping I haven to wait for a package to arrive. Which is currently estimated to arrive in 90 minutes. Enough time to do the weekly chores I think. Meanwhile I'm also mentally preparing for Sunday. Because there several new neighbours, us included, someone's organizing a get together. We're expected to bring our own drinks and have an opportunity to meet new people. Luckily it's set to last only two hours. But the weather prediction is that it's going to be 29℃. So we'll have to wait and see how long I last in the heat with a lot of people I don't know. |

Digitizing the last of my cds. Some I'm keeping, most I've either already taken to the second hand store or they will be donated next week.
Next week, when it's a bit cooler, I'm going to be putting all my books, cds and dvds in my bookcase. I'm hoping everything fits, I know my music box set won't due to size, so I'll store those. Next step is to order the record/cd/cassette player I have had my eye on for a while and see where I can get spare needles for it. |
