Shopping and another quiet day

Needed some fuel for the car before we leave this weekend and so went to the garage nearest to us only to find they had run out. There is another garage with different brand but not sure the credit card trick will work and so will need to try again this Sunday when we leave here. We visited our local Publix Supermarket probably for the last time this year to purchase some basics which we will need over the last few days of our stay.
Not sure if I have mentioned this before but Publix, probably others, employ elderly and disabled people to assist packing of your food bags and helping you carry same to your car if you need help. This is a great idea as it give employment to the over 60’s and 70’s and sometimes 80’s also those in a electric wheelchair, one guy in his wheelchair was collection used supermarket carts in the car park to return them to the storage area. There is an added benefit is that they help speed up the bag packing process thereby reducing waiting time of those people in the queue. We also noticed that certain supplier, like Coca Cola and certain other suppliers come and top up the shelves of their products with their own staff which means the supermarket does not need to store any product as the main supplier come each day with own staff and do the job for them. Not sure of any UK supermarket chain using this method?
So we have enough stuff to last us until Sunday having worked out a daily menu and hopefully that's it.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing by the pool and enjoying the sun and in the evening spagbol for dinner followed by the remaining episodes of the series called ‘Delhi Crime’ and then early to bed.
On the political front I would say that Trump seems to have come out of this enquiry quite well although many democrats still cannot accept the Muller report, more fool them. And as for the UK PM and all the member’s of Parliament from all parties they should be fired for incompetence. I still cannot get over seeing the photos of Mrs May arriving in Brussels for important Country negotiations with a smile on her face and kisses and cuddles for EU Presidents etc, Mrs Thatcher would turn in her grave as she knew how to fight
