UK Trip 2009 - Thursday 9 April 2009
Went shopping with the parents to one of the local supermarkets in the hire car. They spent far more than planned and just don't worry about the calories (well not too much anyway).
Met up with a couple of my parents old friends in the supermarket car park, although we didn't hang around long as the wind was bitter.
In the afternoon, I went by bus to the city centre. Mainly to see if I could find an ATM that would tell me the balance on my Australian bank account and after trying half a dozen, the Nationwide machine was able to confirm there was money still in the account.
Did a spot of shopping in Marks and Spencers, as well as looked for the same cold defence remedy that we have in Australian, but failed on that count.
In the evening, I spent a very enjoyable dinner with a old internet mate, who's aiming to enter a bodybuilding competition next year and he has certainly change (or more precisely – got a lot bigger). We chatted about his training, how our work was going and what was happening in our lives. It was a welcome change from spending all my time with my family.
