Day 40: Lets go to the supermarket.


I swear the only thing I do on holiday is go to the supermarket. Usually when I'm at home going to the local supermarket to do the weekly shop or popping in to get something is a massive chore in which you can never be bothered. But the amount of products they stock there that are so vastly different (and in some cases not so vastly different) is mind blowing, it makes you wonder if people actually buy them. You can buy frozen snails... Why would you buy frozen snails? And you can buy cheeze toasties already made, all you need to do is heat them up... Isn't that all you need to do anyway? (Besides from grating cheese and putting it on a piece of bread and sticking it under the grill...)

Anyway, I've ended up going to two different supermarkets today. The first one was to get the general shop, whilst the next was just to stock up on our favourite frite sauce which some how you can only seem to get in intermarche... I managed to get through one entire bottle in a week, I wouldn't be surprised if I cut myself and started bleeding frite sauce.

I also finally finished my book! Took my time about this, but when your outside and its really, really sunny and you have no shade or sunhat and your wearing glasses which somehow magnifies the light by about 100000000000% it kills your eyes to stare at a bright white page. I spent most of the afternoon recovering from this with a headache, so I decided to have a shower to ease the pain. I think somehow using up all the hot water must of helped. I don't think my mum was too pleased though when she came to do the washing up...

We then watched this movie with Robert De Niro in, it was called "le etait de la bronx" which means something like "tales of the bronx" not 100% sure if the movie was actually called that in english, seeing as the movie was american not french, but the box was in french so I could only guess. It was a surprisingly good gangster movie. Most of the movies provided in the gite seem to be about gangsters of some type, It's much better than the magazine collection though. The only magazines there was one copy of "good house keeping" then there was about seven copies of "land rover monthly" who the fuck wants to read about land rovers every month... I do not understand how they even make a profit... Someone explain this to me...

And also I came to the horrible realisation that I only have two more days to blog about before my blog is finished... Whilst I'll be relieved to be finished and not have to worry about having something to write about everyday, I'm going to miss the amount of satisfaction I got from people reading it, just checking the stats on it made me feel pretty happy. Something like 500+ UK views doesn't sound like a lot compared to what some blogs get but to me I'm pretty proud of it, I've actually managed to be consistant with something in my life.
