Too Much Running Around

Today Binnie and I spent 8 hours in the capital running around knocking things off are to do list.

Very tiring and draining!

This included getting our internet router activated and operational.

For the record, the "silver" package costs 595 pula a month which I convert to around $60.

We also got our satellite receiver activated and so we have television at the house.  No sure if that is a good thing or not??  However, we now get BBC World News and CNN International and about 75 other channels.

The cost for that was 526 pula or $55.

When you add those 2 together it is cheaper than the internet/tv package I have with Cogeco in Trenton which comes in at just over $200.

For reference at the local Shell gas bar the price is 22.45 pula per litre.  I guess $2.25 Cdn/litre.  Thus we have a ways to catch up in Trenton.

Lastly 3 photos to put our lifestyle in perspective.

A look down one of the aisles at the ShopRite grocery store in the capital.  Pretty similar to home.

Binnie stocking up the cart.

Then the ice cream selection.

Living 45 minutes from the capital, the odds of the ice cream becoming liquid before half way home are too great.  See having -25C in Ontario right now would prevent this problem!!

Lastly having lunch with Binnie's sister at Nando's.  An international chain with at least I think 6 restaurants in Ontario.

I hate to say it, but today is a perfect reason why Binnie and I are here.  Somewhere around 50 degrees warmer than Trenton and we have been out in shorts and t-shirts.

Oh one final question.  What does snowbird mean to you?

Binnie says its retired people who go to a warmer climate to get out of the Canadian winter.  She keeps saying she is not a snowbird.  I beg to differ?

Thoughts?
