This morning I went for a lovely run with Aoife. We went, north?, along the river (not sure which river. I shall look into it) then circled back and ran through Ormeau Park. I have to say I truely enjoy the free range park system. Unlike New York you can walk anywhere, sit anywhere, dogs can go anywhere, which I might still agree with NY on that one as some people do not seem as keen on cleaning up after their pets as others. The grassy bits here in Belfast are much softer than some of the rockier bits in New York.
After my time in the park I went off to purchase a few items at the store. I wanted to get some butter but there were so many to choose from and they all come in the little containers because they're spreadable and I didn't want to pick one and end up with margarine because I don't particularly care for margarine unless it's rolled in brown sugar. In the end I decided not to purchase any butter. I don't know why I couldn't have just picked one but it was just too much for me this afternoon. Maybe tomorrow.
Anyway so I think this must be the worst blog ever. I doubt there are any that are worse. Sort of mundane I suppose. Ah well. Enjoy just the same.
Best,
Jen

You're doing good girl. Yeah even the mundane things can be difficult at first. And the grocery store is overwhelming. Nothing is the same as at home even though it's in English. Beware- English and American English are very different. Lots of crazy misunderstandings in language to come for sure. And who knew there were so many types of butter. Belfast is a great city. I always felt way more comfortable there, then Dublin. Dublin has that NYC feeling/Belfast more Philly for sure. Please have a real Guiness for me. Nothing like it! Love to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat they don't have parkay? Does saying better mean that it is better than other butters, or by saying better are they implying it's better than butter but not butter? How's class?
ReplyDeleteI found this post to be exceptionally funny...I'm sitting here with Emmy and K.O. and both are looking at me like I'm nuts. Screw them, they can't see the screen.
