March 6th. Back in our tropical paradise

We are back from our trip back home to go on vacation with friends, the flood has dried up and we are enjoying amazing spring. Everything is blooming! Birds are preening. Need to get out to Kew gardens.

Here is a local yogurt called "Fool." Apparently this is an actual archaic term for a custard dish with fruits in it. Could have fooled me! Never going to hear me say yogurt again, fool! :) Got a load of them, started eating and then noticed that they are loaded in whip cream so at the end of the day, I have been fooled.

These cause mental

confusion somehow

The first restaurant that was a part of nearly year long construction is now open: Cote. Construction still continues further along. There are also 2 new burger houses in town. 5-Guys are becoming popular and starting to appear everywhere. Need to refocus on our eating practices but will probably need to starve for a month first to recover from the damage on the cruise.

We drove to Sainsbury to refill our fridge, parked, walked over and only then it is closed for some updates. I guess it is too much to ask to put a sign out before the parking lot entrance. There is also no sign on the supermarket itself. We asked the construction crews - and now one knows. I guess, it's a secret.

Speaking of driving, the car is still in the shop and we went for a round of calls/email/calls again to get a courtesy vehicle provided. We did warn them that we need one prior to going on vacation. But when it came to the promised delivery time, there was the usual "sick person," followed by "no cars in stock at the moment" followed by "did you mean the Kingston location?" In the end we got it so it's a good thing.
