On my early morning jog in the smog yesterday I saw 2 cool bumper stickers -
"The more you know, the less you need" and "The best things in life aren't things". So with those noble sentiments in mind we dedicated our day to shopping. It was tough but someone had to do it, and we volunteered. We headed for golf heaven and left 3 hours later with about 20kg of brand new shiny sticks and balls so that we can hit the fairways in NZ and France without having to carry all the kit back and forwards. On to Santa Monica (don't you love the name) for "essential" electronics in the Apple store. I can hardly believe I'm writing this but we bought NOTHING, having taken the ridiculously mature view that we don't need an Ipad after all. We consoled ourselves by buying jeans that actually fit (not in the Apple store you understand). All in all a pretty satisfying result.
We learnt 2 important lessons yesterday:
1. When "making change" for a parking meter, take care that you receive the coin equivalent to the notes you're trying to change - N paid 2 dollars for 4 quarters - not a good deal.
2. The cheapest wine in the cooler is cheap for a reason.
