It is a glorious and sunny Tuesday here today, and it is not YET so hot, that is why I will be going to the city proper for some errands.
I have responded to some who commented in my previous discussion, and it is great to know how well and fine others are.
I think it is great to run errands this early part of the day to avoid the hustle and bustle of the people in the city proper. Otherwise, with so many people moving around, I might get dizzy, because of the hotness and the humidity of the environment.
I will be back; I just have to pay some bills, buy record books for me and my son, and get the dog food from a local meat store (and 5 kilos is so heavy that is why I plan to get transportation and pay the seats of 5, so I will be the only passenger).
Are you running errands this Tuesday?

That's what I used to be doing when I was over there. I miss my motherland.

Five kilos is too heavy. I am only allowed a liter of water to carry ever since I had my calporaphy ( i hope i spelled it right), last 2012.
Indeed, when it is hot it is better to do things outside in the morning when the sun's rays aren't so hot yet.

@ridingbet Yes, that's it. That's because I gave birth through a midwife only, so my bladder got so low already, they have to do that.

@ridingbet I go every Thursday, usually the special offers start on Tuesday and they last all the week.

our shopping day is usually on the first few days of the month.

it is great to go to the market in the earliest time of the day. aside from the "buena mano", we get to choose the items still fresh (like the meat and chicken meat) and at a discounted price (buena mano).
'buena mano' translated from Spanish language is 'good hand' or 'first hand'.

leaving your home at 7AM, i think, is good because there may be a few people in your streets and traffic may be light.

for me, i have to have many lazy weekdays aside from doing my tasks because a post sent by our clinical coordinator informs us that the start of the first semester for 2018-19 will be on August 13, 2018.

yes that is so true. going out to the city in mid- or high noon is really exhausting and super-hot, that one might have the heat stroke.

running errands for me should be in the morning or late afternoons, but not like today because it is rining heavily.
