The holiday is running down. We are chasing up some last minute shopping, catching up with last minute relatives and generally getting ready to leave.
Our friend Terryll of the Detroit expedition is corralled into taking us shopping, so we trawl the local shopping centre.
It’s all same same! However I do see a little article I am tempted to buy. It’s a small hand held pocket loud hailer. Perfect for addressing walking groups at the briefing. It’s about 4 inches long and 3 inches in circumference.
I resist temptation. It’s not in our bags.
Lunch is a nice salad once again. It’s so good having crispy crunchy stuff after so much soft, pizza-ish sort of stuff.
Nice and fresh and very refreshing.
Early in the afternoon we are picked up to go to Danny’s house for supper (tea). He lives out at Amersburg, someway away. It takes about 40 minutes to get there.
He’s a maintenance electrician for a printing company; his wife is a trainee social worker.
We do not make jokes about social workers and Rottweilers.
Their meal is humongous, with steak the size of the plate and an inch thick, prawn and vegetable kebabs, rice, coleslaw, green salad, rolls and a fruits salad eaten with the savoury stuff.
The table is just covered in plates. There is no room for anything else, other than the 6 varieties of dressings for the salad.
They are wonderful hosts, and their kids are quite delightful, in a controlled sort of way.
We leave for home after dark and guess what, when we get back to Mike and Carol, it’s time for more wine.
