Ice-Cream for Life!

Earlier in the week my dad had received an email forwarded to him by someone at his work, advertising discounted ice-cream being sold at this factory somewhere out in Otara, I think something like 16L of ice-cream for $10. My dad, being a sweet-tooth and not one to pass up on an offer as good as that decided we'd wake up early in the morning to get some ice-cream before it was too late! Aonghas wasn't feeling so well and had to work that day as well but fortunately I didn't, so the four of us went.

There weren't actually that many people there when we got there. They handed out black rubbish bags filled with random containers of ice-cream. We originally bought three bags, one for us, and one for each of our relative families, but after seeing someone else buy something like TEN bags of ice-cream, we thought maybe we'd get another three bags! While we brought along some chilli-bins that our aunty had lent us, we had run out of space, so we pretty much had to hold onto the rest of it!

On our way home, our mum needed to go to the toilet and so we thought we'd go to the nearest McDonald's. Now remember we were still in Otara, so we were a little weary. We discovered though that there was a nearby market going on and these people washing windscreens at the intersection. We didn't want to get car-jacked or anything, but by the time we noticed, it was too late and we had to turn into the road! We had a bit of difficulty getting back out!

When we got home though, it was a rush to find space in our freezers for all the ice-cream! Our mum had to remove some of the chicken and meat that was in there to make way for the ice-cream. Fortunately our aunt had a bigger freezer where all of our remaining ice-cream is kept!
