Ferns and freezing

Shopping yesterday can be summed up thusly:

Freezing.
Ferns.
Flipping freezing.


Went to Bunnings to get some house repair stuff (my poor house, cute as it may be, is still at that stage where it just needs to have work done on it - the lesson to be learnt is to only ever buy new houses). I generally love Bunnings. It's huge, there's loads of stuff, I always think "Oh I would love to weld that to that and make some weird art!" and there's so much to look at.

But this time 'round it was SO VERY COLD! It actually felt colder inside the Bunnings centre than outside (ie: weather a penguin would grimace at). It made concentrating on anything rather difficult, because all you wanted to do was keep warm. So it was good to have a shopping list, or else I think we would have wandered around in a daze, wandered out and not bought a thing.

Of course, that saves money... But it's not generally a good thing to have the store so cold that the customers can't concentrate on what they want, let alone things that are superflous to their needs (but that might distract them and become part of the trolley's contents along the way).

But I bought a nice fern.

And it was so very very nice to get back in the car.
