When you've got nothing better to do, then shop! Well that's what Hamish and I decided to do on Saturday. Aonghas and my dad had to work, and our mum was going to some friend's for most of the day. Because our house is so low on food supplies, she told us boys to walk down to Pak N' Save after our church music rehearsal to buy some lunch.
Once we finished church music rehearsal (which was a struggle waking up for at 9am in the morning!), we got back home, mowed our neighbour's lawn, then started walking down to West City. Aonghas had to go to work so Hamish and I walked with him to West City and just decided we'd just walk around there to pass the time away.
We first went over to Pak N' Save and basically cleared the Reduced to Clear shelf. We then returned to the food court to eat our Pak N' Save lunch which only cost us $5 in total!
We then walked around West City another several times looking around and doing nothing. It was really packed, as you'd expect on Christmas Eve eve eve. We finally deciding we'd buy a tub of ice-cream and then go home. First we went to Countdown to check how much they were, then walked back to Pak N' Save to see if they were any cheaper, but they weren't so we walked back to Countdown. At 5pm, we finally walked home!
It's amazing just how many people you come across in the shopping mall. Most of them were working though, which is kinda sad when you can't find a job yourself! It's really awkward though when someone calls your name out, you turn around to see who it is and then you see the person in the distance and wave and shout hi back to them, but then you're not sure whether you should go over and start a conversation with them or just to keep walking!
Later that night though when our mum came back, she wanted to go out…shopping! We went to the Lincoln Pak N' Save to buy some food before coming back to West City and shopping at The Warehouse while waiting for Aonghas to close up the shop. I then came across Casey (I hope I didn't spell her name wrong!) which was the first time I had seen her in ages!
I have to admit it was pretty tiring walking around shops, and that I'm officially sick of West City…for the time being!
