Shopping for an antique

An update on yesterday's post about tea kettles and our hunt for a drip coffee maker. After visiting more stores today, we finally went back to the only store where we'd seen one.

There were only two left in boxes, so we quickly grabbed one. Phew! For those familiar with a popular Ikea ad, Greg started saying "Start the car! Start the car!"

In our discussion with workers at two of the stores today, they confirmed that no one really uses this type anymore. Hopefully our homeowners will, but if not we've kept the receipt and they can return it.

While we were at the shopping centre, I stopped to buy sausages. Faced with a wide range of choices, some of which I really wasn't familiar with, I noticed this pack.

Being Welsh, these seemed like the ideal choice ... and no lamb were sacrificed for them either. I'm grateful for that :)
