Thursday is Weekly Shopping Day

Tweet

Thursday is the least favourite day of the week for me. It is the day my husband and I head to the shops to get all the provisions we need until the next Thursday. It is a hectic day. Prior to my desire to have an adventure in Greece, Thursdays were a lot easier in England. For a start there was a variety of shops and all pretty close to home, so if something was forgotten it was easily picked up. I shopped alone in those days as it was before we were picking up additional food for the 6 rescue dogs and 3 cats that share our lives. Now the load is bigger and heavier. It is a twenty minute busy drive along narrow roads to the town, generally very full of pedestrians criss crossing the road with coffee in their hands, and cars double and even triple parked. Cars have to avoid pedestrians, not the other way around. No traffic wardens here. We make an early start because of the crowds and the virus. We have to be masked to get into the supermarket and although distancing is marked people crowd in too close regardless. It isn't all gloom and doom, the staff are friendly and the shop is well supplied. On the return trip, we are relaxed enough to enjoy the view as the main road runs alongside the sea for a while. When we get home we enjoy coffee and a cake and then I am able to enjoy the rest of the day.
