As usual this place was packed and the car park pretty full but this may have been because this weekend is ‘Super bowl Weekend’ and so there will be parties and BBQ’s and so the trolley were full of beer, wine and steaks etc for those who were planning a party. I heard one guy who had a trolley quite laden with stuff say to the check out out girl as she was ringing up all the purchases “ I only came for a dozen eggs”. So we had lunch first and both decided to have a hot dog, which for Noel later turned out later to be a bad decision( Noel discovered there was an extremely high fat content and Garlic- Hey ho of the the Loo we go). We bought some steaks, and pork chops and fish and also the most expensive bits were the razor blades we both needed as well as some glucosamine tablets which helpfully will help us both.
After the shopping we took the main road out through an area obviously heavily populated by the Amish people and there were many of them riding bicycles as to have horse and carts around the very busy streets of Sarasota would be very dangerous for all Then we left Sarasota for Rotunda West by way of the local Publix supermarket where we bought the last few bits and pieces we needed and then on to the house which will be our home for the next two months. By this time it was about 28 degrees Centigrade and so in our long trousers we were both getting a little warm as we unloaded the car and carried our shopping and suitcases inside. The a cup of tea and a biscuit and slight relaxation and then a shower and a BBQ which took a little while to understand. The steak was delicious which we enjoyed with a baked potato and salad.
