Today I headed into town to go geocaching. Unfortunately, on this small phone everything, including the pictures, is pretty rubbish, and when I tried to find one cache, the compass kept going haywire, so I just couldn’t find it. I think the best one for GPS was my first Android, the VF 845.
I told myself that since I was already here in Tesin, I wasn’t going home empty-handed, so I texted Tynka,
asking whether Billa also gives out those stickers, because she had mentioned something about Billa as well as Albert, if I remember correctly. It’s a shame that for some years now in Tesin the Albert on Karvinska street has been closed, because they give out those stickers, or whatever they actually are, even for small purchases. Sadly, I never got a reply :’-(, so I had to try it out myself and find out how things stand.
At Billa I bought these things:
- Clever Multivitamin – 10 CZK
- 4x Hazelnut kernels 100g – 80 CZK
- 2x Almonds – 40 CZK
- Flora light – 40 CZK
- Bebe Family Cereal biscuits – 16 CZK
- Clever Fish Salad – 13 CZK
- Vesna Vanilla – 10 CZK
Crazy, I remember all those prices exactly, (even) though I left the receipt there – I paid exactly 199 CZK:
I walked right past the fruit and so I forgot about it, and as for muesli bars, I couldn’t find any. And why do I do my own shopping when I give my folks 3000 CZK for food? Simple: my folks only buy meat and salami, and almost no fruit and vegetables at all, let alone anything more special, like these hazelnuts for better brain and memory function.
The almonds and hazelnuts will last me 10-14 days. That’s not so terrible. The thing is, I don’t eat breakfast because there’s nothing here to eat, and in 99% of cases I don’t eat lunch either, because it’s always some kind of meat – today it was beef sirloin in cream sauce, which I didn’t eat either. In fact, I live on nothing but bread and pastries here, which is probably really bad, so I shouldn’t be surprised that my brain doesn’t work the way I’d like it to.
I’m also considering buying wholegrain bread and steering well clear of white bread, but I think that with my, perhaps slightly exaggerated, gluttony I’d eat all the dark bread anyway and then move on to the white. If only I could control myself like I used to..
