Today was one of the few times where Sheila and I did our 5k separately. Sheila and Nicola headed of to Jockey Plaza to try to get get a change made to Nicola's phone and I headed off to the fruit market to get our supplies. It was a lonely old 5.9km for me today. Nobody to talk to except myself but I did get it all my own way.
I felt sure that the saffron finches would be back because they enjoyed their little feast yesterday and sure enough this morning they were back to get some more.
On a completely different note, last year, at the height of the pandemic I was really wanting to start playing my guitar and singing through the internet in zoom sessions and Facebook live but I didn't have the right equipment to connect. I saw the equipment advertised on Mercadona Libre and I decided to buy it. Mercadona Libre is a kind or Amazon service where you can buy practically anything. It was a local music store and he assured me that he had the stuff. I ordered it and paid for it S/600. Only after I had paid did he decide to tell me that he couldn't deliver until after the lockdown. This was of course somewhat of a blow since that is why I needed it. I cancelled the order and hoped that the money would be refunded. To be fair the guy said he would no problem but I never saw the money back in my bank account.
The yesterday I decided that we could use an ethernet connection to try to make our Amazon firestick a little less laggy. Sometimes it stalls a little. The only place I could see the genuine article available here was ... you guessed it .... Mercadona Libre. I thought ok bite the bullet and try again. Imagine my amazement when I clicked buy this item and proceeded to the payment where I was offered the option of paying using the S/600 soles in my Mercadona Libre account. Reeeesult. My money has been lying there waiting for me to spend it for months. Now what else do we need. I can feel a small shoppping spree coming on.
OK only two more days to go. Y'all take care now, missin' ya already.
