House Owners

We signed the contract on what will be our new home. It is still subject to lawyer approval (we see him Monday), but all going well we will take possession of it the 1st July.
If you are interested this is the real estate site for it. http://www.edc.dk/en/Sag/?pid=68000085

Golden Fields


It's my favourite time of year again...when the raps starts to flower. There are just fields of gold everywhere.

Record wanted

I'm looking for a record. It goes something like this...No, no, no,no....No, no, no, no....No, no, no,no, no!

I don't mind if it's the English or Danish version. It could even be a mixture of both.

It would save my voice a lot. I could just put it on in the morning & let it run all day.

Maybe there's a robot that comes with the recording, then it could also save me running round the house all day keeping Joshua away from all the things he's not supposed to touch. Might be a bit of an expensive solution though.

Comparison

I decided to do a bit of a price comparison between shopping online at the one supermarket that offers it, as compared to buying what I could at the cheap supermarket & only the specialty items at the other. This is how they compared

Online shop: 123,75kr - groceries
49kr - Delivery
6kr - bags
178,75kr

In person: 106,9kr - groceries
11 - petrol
117,9kr

So with just the items on my list I made a saving of 60,85kr or $12. However if you add the extra items I bought while in the shop then I only made a saving of 22,90kr or $4,58.


Into the 21st Century

Ever since coming back from Oz I've been wishing supermarkets would provide 'parent parking' & also sometimes wish I had the option of shopping online. Well in the last 2 weeks both my wishes were met. One of the big supermakets made 4 parent parking places available right near the door. This makes shopping much more pleasant as it used to take at least 10min to find a park & then it was usually the furtherest from the door & trolley bays.
Another supermarket began to offer online shopping, unfortunately it is one of the more expensive shops, & the delivery cost is quite high, so I don't think I will be using it much.
